The word "prophet" is not a new idea to Islam or Christianity.
In polytheism they would have called them "oracles" or "soothsayers" or "seers".
It still amounts to either a deliberate con artist scamming people into following them, or a deluded human who really thinks they are talking to a divine higher power.
It still amounts to superstition.
