Bismillah
Good point reepi, no a Muslim does not elevate any of the prophets and messengers blessing and peace be upon all of them to the worship level of Allah, I seek refuge to Allah from taking associates. A Muslim must believe in the Oneness of Allah and that Mohammad is His final messenger, much difference. <b>What we are required to believe is that all those prophets and messengers starting from Adam to Mohammad blessing and peace be upon all of them are sent by Allah of them with a book, those are the messengers, others just calling their people to the oneness of Allah.</b> Thus, the required belief is that they are all prophets and messengers, none of them is the son of Allah, neither is God's incarnate..etc. We must believe that they came to call for the worship of the only true diety worthy of worship, to teach us how to live and die in the name of Allah and for the sake of Allah, not to elevate them to the level of Allah.
Hope the point is clear.
