Namaste SS,
I also have been interested in Islamic scriptures & life of Mohammad. However, my study is much limited as compared to yours.
I cannot say whether Prophet Mohammad was a yogi or not but I can tell a few things which keeps him in a different category.
i) Yogis mostly avoid sex ( except the Vaam Margis who use sex for achieving higher level of consciousness), considering it a distraction in yoga, an exercise which leaves deep impression & forms habit & also drains vital energy. However, the life of Prophet Mohammad was of a person with more than normal appetite for sex. It is said that Aisha was only 6 years old when he decided to marry her when Prophet Mohammad himself was quite advanced in age.
ii) Yogis don't shed blood. They consider "Ahimsa"/Non-violence to be one of the most important doctrines to follow. However, Prophet Mohammad fought many wars & shed blood a lot in his effort to win over the Pagans, Christians & the Jews.
iii) Yogis normally see people of other religions also with equanimity. They see everything as expression of the same Infinite Consciousness. However, Prophet Mohammad never reconciled with the Pagans who were Idol-worshippers. In fact, there were many idols in Mecca which were worshipped by the Pagans for centuries. All these idols (except the Black Stone) were burnt in a bonfire or destroyed by Prophet Mohammad & his followers after their victory in Mecca. No yogi would like to hurt religious sentiments of people like this.
May be the revelations he received were God-inspired, may be he was Divine incarnate for a specific job but there were certainly marked differences between his personality & that of a yogi.
