Sorry, but most of the books of the New Testament were letters written by
Paul, who never met Christ. The Gospel of Luke, and its sequel, The Acts of
the Apostles were also written long after Jesus died, as was The Revelation
(Apocalypse) of John. Only three of the Gospels even claim to have any
association with Apostles of Christ, and the best evidence is that they were
oral traditions written down 50-150 years afterward.

Mohammed was born around 570AD, and died around 632AD. The writings
attributed to him occurred after that date, over 600 years after Christ.
