Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, made clear in His Noble Book that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is a human being

Q2: And he says: It is not possible to call him (peace and blessings be upon him) a god, and it is not possible to say: that he is other than Him, so we refer the matter to Him, the Exalted, and He is more knowledgeable about his reality (peace and blessings be upon him). So please inform us.
A2: He was truthful in his statement: It is not possible to call Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) a god. But he quickly contradicted himself in his speech when he said: (and it is not possible to say that he is other than Him). This is because Allah, the Exalted, has established His divinity alone by the evidence of reason and revelation, with the consensus of the scholars. So if it is not possible for Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) to be a god by the evidence of reason and revelation, it is obligatory that he be other than Allah, the Exalted, out of necessity
due to the impossibility of him being a god and the necessity of the lordship and divinity belonging to Allah, the Exalted, alone, by reason and revelation. Then his statement: So we refer the matter to Him, the Exalted... etc., is an explicit doubt regarding the distinction between Allah and His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). And along with his contradiction, it is explicit disbelief that contradicts reality, clear reason, and correct revelation; because Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, made clear in His Noble Book that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is a human being, and the Muslims have agreed that he was born of a father and a mother, and that he is included in the generality of the statement of Allah, the Exalted:[Al-Hujurat 49:13] the verse.

O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female
يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَاكُمْ مِنْ ذَكَرٍ وَأُنْثَى
