Who started Islam?

Answer 1

Answer 1A simple answer is "Muhammad" started Islam.

But that's not exactly what Muslims believe.

The Islamic point of view is that Islam is God's (Allah's) favourite religion as mentioned in the holy book of Muslims ("Quran" or "Koran") and Islam has existed ever since this earth came in to being.

According to the Koran, Allah sent "ADAM", the father of all human beings, and "AMMA HAWWA" (Eve), the mother of all human beings.

Allah sent them Adam and Eve from Heaven to Earth to punish them for their disobedience to his orders. The Koran mentions many of the prophets including "Moses" , "Jesus", "Abraham", "Noah", and many more. The Koran says that all of the prophets were Muslims (a Muslim is "one who submits to our Creator").

The Koran also says that Christians and Jews have made assumptions about the earlier prophets, that they were Christians or Jews. But the Koran makes a clear statement that they were Muslims (again, Muslims are those who submit to their Creator).

So considering these statements in the Koran, Islam has been here since ADAM came to earth. And the Koran states that Allah revealed the final heaven-sent message (the Koran) to Muhammad and in doing so completed the religion (al Islam).

Answer 2

Islam was begun by the Prophet Muhammad, who is believed by Muslims to have received his first revelation from the angel Gabriel in 610 CE. After attracting a few close followers in Mecca, Muhammad had to flee for his life to the city of Medina in 622 CE, the start of the Islamic calendar. Muhammad is said to have continued to receive revelations, which were compiled into the Quran, until his death in 632 CE.

Almighty God wanted to gide humans how to live on the earth. This Guidance is called Islam. was not founded. Islam is the religion given to mankind by Almighty God. It came into existence with the first man stepping on the earth. Hazrat Adam (AS) was the first Muslim and first Prophet of Islam. All the Prophets (May peace be upon them all) had been teaching/preaching Islam. The last prophet of Islam Hazrat Muhammad (May peace be upon him) was born in Mecca, Arabia, in 570 AD. The country is now known as The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. He started preaching Islam in 610 when he was 40. Islam teaches universal human brotherhood and equality of all human beings irrespective of caste, creed, color and country. It is the favorite religion of Almighty God. It for all human beings. Almighty God has created us all and loves us

Answer 4

Islam religion per God revelation of Quran to prophet Muhammad was founded by the start of Quran revelation by God to prophet Muhammad through the Angel Gabriel (Jibril) in Makkah or Mecca (currently in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) in year 610 AD. Quran revelation continued also when the prophet (peace be upon him) migrated to Medina (also in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) until prophet death in year 632 AD.

The religion of Islam was started by the Prophet Mohammad.

Answer 5 There are two concepts for Islam definition:

1. Islam in its universal sense:

Islam is an Arabic word that means submission and surrender to God (as the one and only one God). In this sense Islam began by the universe creation where all God creatures were created under their submission (Islam) to God. Upon start of mankind, they are taught through God prophets to be on full submission (Islam) to God.

All prophet missions; including Adam, ..., Noah, ..., Abraham, ..., Moses, ..., Jesus, and Muhammad (peace be upon them all); was to hold full submission (Islam) to the one and only one God, the Creator, with no partner, no son, no father, no companion, no associate, and no equivalence (defined as monotheism). In this sense: Islam per God revelation of Torah to Moses is called ,Judaism, Islam per God revelation of The Bible to Jesus is called Christianity, and Islam per God revelation of Quran to Muhammad is called the very name Islam as it is the last God religion

2. Islam per Quran:

Islam religion was founded by Allah (or God in English and sane God worshiped in Judaism and Christianity) by the start of Quran revelation by God to prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) through the Angel Gabriel (Jibril) in Mecca (currently in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) in year 610 AD. Quran revelation continued also when the prophet (peace be upon him) migrated to Medina (that is also located in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) until prophet death in year 632 AD. It is important to emphasize that Quran is last God holy. Quran was neither corrected nor altered (even on the level of a letter) since its revelations. This explains why only one Arabic version is read and recited and broadcasted everywhere in the world. This is because of many reasons; mainly:

• Quran verses were written directly on its revelation by more than one Muslim.
• Quran verses were kept by heart by many Muslims on the time of its revelations (Currently millions allover the world are keeping Quran by heart)
• Quran is recited five times a day by Muslims during praying and the meantime its recitation outside praying; individually and collectively; is rewarded by God. So, it is not logic to have differences in its recitations.
• Quran was revealed by God to the prophet in Arabic (that is still a live language). so, the original quran in its revelation language is available since its revelation and in its revelation language.
• Quran; as the last God holy book; states in its text that it is guarded by God against single letter alterations.

Answer 2

The teachings of Islam have always existed, in its most basic form; One God and no one else and be good.

But with time and the evil acts of Satan we keep deviating from these teachings and over and again God sends us Messengers/Prophets to set things straight again. The last of these prophets is Muhammed Peace be Upon Him.
