I try to be a good person, and I believe in prophets, but many claim to be, and to me there is no such thing as modern day prophets after the apostles of Jesus.

Why what?

If you existed at the time when there was no prophet Muhammad peace be upon him, you are a Muslim. Jesus and his apostles were there for a particular time period and taught for a specific group of people. When the last prophet, after Jesus, Muhammad was present, that is when the belief of One God and last messenger is Muhammad was present because Muhammad taught the whole world and was a mercy for the MANKIND. We still believe Jesus was one of the greatest messengers.
Now if you are talking about modern Islam, you have recited half the kalima which is There is no god but Allah (meaning God). Inshallah, i hope you say the full kalima. Haha.

Why do you only believe in the supposed prophets of a particular deity only during a certain set of time?

He did not even visit the whole world.

What if the Bahai are right?

Well one huge problem I have with Islam is God's name.
1. Allah= god. A title.
2. The torah mentions YHWH hundreds of times and Jesus sanctified his father's name.
3. If muhammad was gods prophet he would have revealed the true pronunciation of God's name.
Exodus 3:15
ASV
And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, "Jehovah", the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name forever, and this is my memorial unto all generations

Prophet Muhammad is mentioned in the Bible Old Testament, in the Book Of Dueteronomy Ch.18:18:
I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their fellow Israelites, and I will put my words in his mouth. He will tell them everything I command him.
This is prophet Muhammad peace be upon him.
The next verse: I myself will call to account anyone who does not listen to my words that the prophet speaks in my name.
Or if you give the scroll to someone who cannot read, and say, "Read this, please," they will answer, "I don't know how to read."
This is the same thing that happened with Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him, this happened.
In the New Testament: John 15:26
"When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father--the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father--he will testify about me.
“I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth.He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you.
1. Allah = (One of) name(s) of God
2. No one knows with certainty how to pronounce YHWH & of course Yeshua ﷺ sanctified the name because he was Jewish (for the sake of debate I won't write Jewish/Muslim
3. To Muhammed (ﷺ) 99 names of Allah were revealed.
(I could be wrong about 2., but this is what I read in many (Jewish) books)

I see brother. However, the true pronunciation is Allah, this means God in the Arabic language. So, it is saying God, but in Arabic. YHWH, Allah, God, Buddha. If they believe in the same God and do not associate, worship any statues, then they believe in God. The All-Mighty.

Well the primary reasons are:
1. For the same reasons I believe that miracles performed by people ceased, tongues, and prophesying also ceased is based on 1 corinthians 13:8-11
For me what is complete is the full revelation. The book of revelation was the final revelation, we are now just expecting christ coming and that's it.

In my opinion and many others, he is the most influential person that every lived. Just because he did not visit does not mean anything, globally he is shown to acknowledge.

You absolutely cannot equate YHWH with the title of god. YHWH is his personal name not a title. Elohim is the equivalent of Allah

1. Allah like elohim, and theos is a title.
2. Exactly the pronunciation is not known and if you read Exodus 3:15 in the torah he says YHWH is his name for ever from generation to generation. So why didn't mohammed reveal it?
3. Even bible scholars claim god has many names but no where in the bible will you find I am all mighty that is my name, I am El gibbor that is my name. But you will find I am YHWH that is my name.

All of them mean the same, God. I do not care what name you use for God as long as it is not used inappropriately or used intentionally for insulting. Islam follows that there is One God and the final messenger is Muhammad peace be upon him. Of course, you have to do righteous beliefs and believe in the prophets before him like Jesus peace be upon him, Moses, etc.
