If an Islamic Imam prayed to Muhammed for an amputated limb to regrow and it did so before your eyes would you consider this evidence that Islam is true? If not, why not?

I would have to see the limb regrow first.

Why would an Imam pray to Muhammad?
 
Also, demonic miracles are a thing.

(Although demonic illusions, and plain old human trickery, are more often a thing.)
 
Then why do you believe all sorts of other “miracles” that you don’t even witness, such as apparitions, other healings etc. Why not appeal to David Blaine for these?
 
Apparitions of the Virgin Mary for example have been quite consistent in the message given by Our Lady over time, and those messages and appearances are consistent with our faith.

The original miracles happened before the Gospels were written and the religion came after as a result. I’m believing in the miracles recorded in the Gospels because Jesus only spoke the truth and I trust His word and deeds to be that of Gods, being both man and God Himself.

I understand what you’re driving at but I believe Catholicism is sound and solidly based, I can’t say that of other religions, but I would concede that people of good will exist in this world who are not Catholics.

No, because praying to Muhammed is antithetical to Islam, so anyone doing it would not be practicing the Islamic faith.

Also, unless you know that this has happened, you’re postulating a totally alternate reality. I don’t see how a question that postulates a totally alternate reality can possibly provide you with any meaningful answers. You might as well ask “if dogs pooped gold would we all be rich?”
 
The notion of praying to a person in Islam is blasphemy and he would have probably been put to death for sorcery if that happened.
 
If someone took a lump of moonrock and grated it on your pasta, and it looked, smelt and tasted like Parmesan, would you believe the moon was made of cheese?

If. Thought experiments have a place for sure.
It’s good to have an inquiring mind, not so much to constrain the whole of reality to a tiny materialist box.
Your question is not really a question, it’s an assertion. There really can’t be an answer, and so you have set yourself up a materialist slam dunk.

By the way, assuming you have a significant other,
prove to us he/she loves you.
 
I would not simply because Mohammed never performed miracles. Sura 13:7 of the Koran even says that wasn’t his job.
 
You should look into the scientific investigations of Euchastic miracles. Others may be able to refer you to good sources; I can no longer find the best source I know of on YouTube 😥

But if you know Spanish, look up Dr Ricardo Castañón who did some of the studies.
