Unless I’m mistaken, in Islam it’s equally prohibited to depict ANY PROPHET, not just Mohammed. Similarly, Judaism to a lesser extent prohibits the depiction of any kind of visual recreation of biblical personages inside a synogogue. If you ever visited a conservative or orthodox temple, the inner sanctuary will have geometric shapes, or abstract architectures in the center because in essence the idea is that you use your imagination to imagine the scene and stories and that’s far better than any earthly painting or statue. Not to mention the whole idolatry thing being a sin.
