Explain what historians can establish about the “Historical Muhammad” and his role within the Proto-Muslim movement on the basis of these five Quranic passages alone?

This prompt is based on the passages provided in the file upload tilted Muhammad in Quran:

There are four passages in the Quran that contain the only occurrences of the name Muhammad in the entire text. The fifth passage is addressed to the Prophet but does not mention his name. In 200-300 words, explain what historians can establish about the “Historical Muhammad” and his role within the Proto-Muslim movement on the basis of these five Quranic passages alone? Reynolds Ch. 6 and Brown Ch. 6 are good references (these chapters are also uploaded under files).
