There is no question that Muhammad was AN antichrist in many respects, but he was not to be identified as the man of sin graphically described in 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12, who historically has been termed THE Antichrist. A careful examination of the description given indicates that the Antichrist of all antichrists dwells within the Christian community, not outside of it. The Antichrist had its beginning already in the early church and will endure until he is exposed and condemned at Christ's second coming. Muhammad did not fit these criteria.
