The Islamic definition of a prophet is someone who has been chosen and favoured by Allah (God) to convey his message to the people on earth and to bring them to believe in and worship him alone. In Islam there are two types of prophets, one is the Nabi who are regular prophets sent to do as mentioned. The second type is the Rasool who are high prophets or messengers as they were sent a revelation in the form of a holy book, they are obviously higher in status.
Islam has 124000 prophets. It is mentioned in Quran explicitly 25 prophets of them (Refer to question below). The Prophet Muhammad was the final and greatest of them. Though mostly it's the Semitic prophets of the Middle East that are mentioned in the Islamic faith. This isn't to say the Europeans, Native Americans, Africans, central Asians, Aborigines, South Pacificers, Indians, Far easterners etc weren't sent prophets as Muslims believe that Allah sent prophets to every people.
As well as the Prophet Muhammad - Other renowned prophets of Islam include Adam, Nuh (Noah), Musa (Moses), Harun (Aaron), Ibrahim (Abraham), Lut (Lot), Ismail (Ishmael), Is'haq (Isaac), Yacoob (Jacob), Yousef (Joseph), Daud (David), Sulaiman (Soloman), Yahya (John the baptist - though this isn't his role in Islam) & Isa (Jesus).
Others who are less known include Idris (Enoch*), Salih (Shaloh*), Hud (Eber*), Ayoub (Job), Zakariah, Shoaib (Jethro*), Dhulkifl (Eziekiel), Alias (Elijah), Alyasa (Elisha) & Yunus (Jonah)
The following are mentioned in hadith or known from Oral tradition; Ishaia (Isaiah), Sheeth (Seth), Uzair (Ezra), Danyal (Daniel), Armya (Jeremiah) & Samuel.
Dhul-Karnain, Joshua (Assistant to Moses), Imran (Father of Mary), Khidr & Luqman are all mentioned as great men but their prophethood hasn't been specified, so they may have just been great pious individuals favoured by Allah.

Are all prophets Muslim?
While certainly all of the major figures in the Abrahamic canon are considered Prophets in Islam (i.e. Abraham, Ishmael, Lot, Joseph, John the Baptist, etc.), the question hinges on whether you consider Prophets of Other Gods to be prophets. For example, in the Bible the magicians of Pharaoh's court are considered to be prophets of the false god Amon Re. Certainly these individuals would not be Muslim, but it is unclear whether Islam would consider their divining and magic to be prophecy. The same applies to questions of Eastern Prophets, such as the Buddha or Boddhisatvas. These individuals certainly are not Muslims, but I doubt Islam would consider them prophets either.
What were the orgins of the Muslim religion?
The Muslim way of life dates back to Adam and Eve, peace be with them. They were Muslims, or "Submitters to The God". Abraham, peace be with him, was a Muslim and all Prophets, peace be with them, are Muslims. They all submit to The God.
