Islam is an Arabic word that means submission to God. Every thing in the universe, that we know and that we don't, is created by God on basis of full submission (Islam) to God, the Creator. Only mankind when created was given the choice of having the religion of submission (Islam) to God - the one and only one with no partner, no associate, no son, no companion, and no resemblance - or the religion of worshiping God together with partners, or completely denying God, the Creator, while worshiping idols or worshiping non. According to your choice with your own free will, you will be judged by God on the Day of Judgment, after this life, where you are either accepted, by God mercy, in His paradise or you will be pushed in His Hell fire.
In this sense, Islam (or submission to God) is God call for all mankind since Adam creation. Islam is the mission of all God prophets (Noah,..., Abraham,..., Moses, ..., Jesus, Muhammad) to their people.
