Seriously though that should be way stronger. It's pretty much THE symbol for islamic military prowess, every Middle-Eastern state that actually gets to a point where they manufacture their own arms slaps its name on some tank, boat or gun. It's said to be peerless:
Making it blurry doublehit sword is underplaying the power it should have.There is no hero youth like Ali and no sword like Zulfiqar

I'd make it way stronger if I was making an Ali sheet. As you said, lol giving Muhammad Zulfiqar. The NP is not "look at all these ridiculously strong Noble Phantasms" its "look how I turn kleptomania into a superpower". The most Muhammad has done with Zulfiqar is possessing it at some point, and that's why its pretty meh in this case.
Ali's Zulfiqar I'd put it at A or A+ probably.

You already wanked him to Apocrypha levels, shouldn't hurt to make what might be the most famous sword in the world a tick stronger.
That said I don't really have a problem with the rest. Maybe cut a few things even if it is an important religious figure. Buddha looks less silly.
that said wow he has a better reason for genderbending than most this is actually kind of disturbing

Or rather one should thank him for talking you into making the sheet.
Oh no I was making it anyway, Frosty talked me into making Muhammad a cute brown girl tho
Okay, I get it now.
Allahu Snackbar
Did you have any ideas for her three bows (I assume that's why she qualifies for Archer)?

I only read she has one and didn't look further into it. Finding effects for a full 9 magic swords had me occupied.
edit: on further inspection, according to Sacred Archery: The Fourty Prophetic Traditions, Muhammad had 6 bows. I'll see what I can do.
edit: added half-assed Bow NP.

Yeah, I came across it when researching for Ishmael. This is from the Book on the Excellence of the Bow and Arrow. (link)
Edit: The six bows are still pretty cool nonetheless.It was reported that the Prophet had three bows. One was backed (al-mu‘aqqabah), called "The sweet smelling" (al-rawḥā’); another was made of the shawḥāṭ wood, called "The white one" (al-bayḍā’) ; and the third made of the nab‘ wood, was called "The yellow one" (al-ṣafrā’)

The book I mentioned names 6 bows, so I went with that because I like my headcanon of muhammad being a klepto
Class: Saber (Archer, Lancer, Rider)
True Name: Tomoe Gozen
Gender: Female
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
STR: ***** A
END: ***** C
AGI: ***** A
MGI: ***** D
LCK: ***** B
NP: ***** C
Keywords
CLASS SKILLS
Magic Resistance: B
The capacity to negate or abate the effects of Magecraft. Negates Magecraft invoked with an aria of three verses or less. It is difficult to injure her even with High-Thaumaturgy and Greater Rituals.
Riding: B
The technical skill to mount on vehicles. It also displays its effects on mechanized vehicles. If it is an ordinary vehicle, then she can manage it better than an average person. It is also possible to control wild beasts that have never been tamed by humans, but she is unable to drive Phantasm Species of Magic Beast and Holy Beast rank such as Pegasus, Gryphon or the Dragon Species.
PERSONAL SKILLS
Battle Continuation: A+
The ability of returning alive. Strength of vitality for predicaments. A Skill that decreases the death rate due to injury and makes possible to fight even in a condition of bearing serious wounds that would put her on the verge of death. At the highest rank, this is already a type of immortality.
Bravery: B
The ability to negate mental interference such as pressure, confusion and fascination. There is also an effect of increasing the melee damage inflicted on the enemy.
Independent Action: A+
The ability to take action even without the prana supply from the Master. Convenient in cases like when the Master wants to activate a Magecraft that calls up maximum prana or when he cannot supply enough prana to the Servant. On another hand, it becomes difficult for the Master to put the Servant under his complete control. At the highest rank, the backup of the Master is unnecessary even when employing large-scale prana. Upon coming this far, this Servant is already a completely independent existence and can remain in this world indefinitely.
Natural Body: C
Possession of a perfect body as a living being from birth. Grants resistance against body-related abnormal conditions. At C Rank, it also provides a Rank UP to the STR parameter.
According to legends, Tomoe not only possessed unmatched beauty, but was also the owner of extraordinary physical strength. Having once been ambushed while weaponless, she retaliated by tearing off the heads of the enemy soldiers with her bare hands.
Weapons
Naginata
A wooden shaft with a thin curved blade of about 45cm set on one of its ends, this is a polearm characteristic from Japan. Although its exact origins have not yet been verified, it is popularly believed that a souhei sect invented the naginata during the Nara period. There is also a theory that this is a weapon derived from the Chinese guandao.
The naginata rose to preeminence during the Genpei War, where it came to be regarded as an effective anti-cavalry weapon. Later, during the Edo period, it became the symbolic armament of the onna-bugeisha.
Nodachi
A rare kind of Japanese sword, it possesses a longer blade than the more famous katana. Its greater size makes it both ill suited for close-quarters combat and hard to be carried by infantry soldiers (ordinary Japanese blades are traditionally fastened to the waist; a nodachi has to either be tied to the back or brought by hand). So, it is commonly believed that this was a weapon intended for warriors on horseback.
This is a digression, but since both the forging and the wielding of a nodachi require quite an amount of skill, its use in actual combat was never very popular. In fact, most of the articles known in existence became either ceremonial weapons or votive offerings to a temple.
NOBLE PHANTASM
Futsugyou – Patronage of the Morning Sun
Rank: D+
Type: Anti-Unit (self)
The ooyoroi bestowed to Tomoe by her lord, Minamoto no Yoshinaka – who possessed the epithet of "General of the Morning Sun". Even if you take into account that it is an article made to order by a member of nobility, this armor still seems considerably gaudy. Nevertheless, its performance is rock-solid.
As a Noble Phantasm, this armor has the power of increasing the user’s physical and magical defenses and granting bonus modifiers to saving throws. Furthermore, it also serves as the embodiment of Yoshinaka’s final order of “even if all alone, you must survive no matter what”; Tomoe will be furnished with the Skills Battle Continuation and Independent Action in their highest rank for as long as she is equipped with this.
Tomoe – Strong Bow of the Fierce God
Rank: C
Type: Anti-Unit
Tomoe’s reputation as a warrior given shape as a weapon. A Noble Phantasm that she is furnished only when summoned under the Archer Class. According to anecdotes, when holding a bow, Tomoe would display a prowess that was “a match for a thousand warriors, and fit to meet (in battle) either a god or an oni”. Modern portrayals often depict her wielding a naginata or a nodachi, but as expected, it is when fighting as a bowman that she displays her true worth.
Just by equipping it, all of her parameters are raised. Furthermore, if the opponent possesses qualities as a nonhuman existence, the appropriate “~slaying” property will be temporarily bestowed to this weapon’s attacks.
Trivia
Shinshuu – Immaculate Wind of Spring
Rank: B
Type: Anti-Unit (self)
Tomoe was famous for her ability to manage wild horses. Such was the case of her favored mare, the dapple gray Shunpuu – famed as the strongest horse in the land of Shinano (present-day Nagano). According to legends, Tomoe and Shunpuu rode like the wind across many dangerous spots, only to come out unscratched every time.
An ability that has the sealing of all others Noble Phantasms as a prerequisite for its activation, once the true name is called Tomoe will be granted temporary invulnerability while riding Shunpuu. Any and all attacks aimed at the two will be completely negated. A powerful trump card, but unfortunately it cannot be sustained for long periods of time due prana constrains.

I'd just like to point out that Tomoe Gozen predates the creation of the nodachi and the "rarity" note is kinda funny considering Kojirou.
Localizationing stuff
True. But like I say, modern portrayals still have her use it anyway. Also, compared to the katana, the nodachi is a rare sight - especially in a battlefield.
Modern portrayals have her use a long sword like everyone else of her period did. It was sort of the thing. And it depends on the battlefield, because nodachi were used when cavalry use was at its peak. They stopped using them when everything went toward mass infantry battles.
Localizationing stuff
As much as I wanted to scream "heresy!" because you gender-bent Muhammad, I cannot deny that was a really good servant sheet. Thanks for your work, Christemo.
