There is no picture of Mohammed, but there are many drawings / paintings of him. None were done during his lifetime, and should be viewed as artist conceptions of what he looked like.

Muslims believe that it is a sin to depict Mohammed in art because they fear that believers will worship Mohammed or his picture instead of Allah. Some Muslims feel it is their religious duty persecute anyone that draws a picture of Mohammed, distributes pictures of him, or criticises him in any way. Consequently, non-Muslims are often threatened with violence if they draw or depict Mohammed. Some non-muslims in the West create and distribute drawings of Mohammed anyway, as they seek to exercise their right to free speech.
