2. Mohammed Was Not a Caliph

In Islam, Mohammed is considered to be a prophet; a messenger from god. Muslims also believe that Mohammed cannot be replaced. Bearing in mind that the word caliph means successor, this means that Mohammed was not a caliph himself, but rather caliphs are a successor to Mohammed.

Mohammed was the founder of the Islamic faith and is considered to be by far the most important person in the faith or, indeed, the most important person ever regardless of religion. Jesus (s ibn Maryam) is also thought by Muslims to be a prophet of God (but not the son of god), and the penultimate messenger of god.
