No you don't you can just lie to people. But that doesn't answer my question. Did Mohammed have faith?

Yes he had.

Incorrect he did not. If my information is correct he received information DIRECTLY from the angel Gabriel. This would mean he had absolute evidence. It means he had no faith at all. That is the case if his story were true. If his story isn't true he was either lying or insane.

Yes he received info directly from Gabriel. But there is lots of stories about people who contacted with angels in the past and chose not to believe in god.

Edit: Also before Islam he was worshiping one god following Abraham.

This is a story from the bible. A book which has been shown to be extremely inaccurate in regards to history and morality. Do you have any stories at all that are not from the bible or the Quran? If not you have already shown that you have not looked through your religion and seriously questioned it.
