What is the beginning of islam?

Answer 1

Islam always existed. The Bible nor the Torah mentioned the words Jew/ Judaism, Christian or Christianity. So it is widely accepted that older prophets were Muslims. Quran is the only book with the words Muslim and Islam!

The Bible foretold of Muhammad http://answering-christianity.org/predict.htm As well as Hindu Scriptures! http://www.central-mosque.com/compreligion/MuhammadInHinduScripture.htm

Another ViewThis is a distinction that Muslims possibly do not make. When we refer to a religion, any religion, we refer to a set of practices that support a given faith. The practices involve the specific activities that are carried out in observance of worship and other devotions. Even if Islam as a concept of submission did exist from the beginning, the religion of Islam did not exist until it was brought to light by Mohamed.

Answer 2

Islam is God religion since start of mankind. However, Islam per God revelation of Torah to prophet prophet Moses is called Judaism. Islam per God revelation of the Bible to prophet Jesus is called Christianity. Islam per Quran revelation to prophet Muhammad is called the very name Islam.

Islam per Quran revelation to prophet Muhammad through the angel Gabriel (Jibril) started in year 610 AD and continued until year 632 AD (year of prophet Muhammad death).

Answer 3

For many Muslims the term "Islam" has two meanings: the Divine Religion of Submission to God's Will (often called Islam with a small "i") and the Institutionalized Belief as Found in Qur'an and Revealed by Mohammed's Prophecy (often called Islam with a capital "I").

islam with a small "i" is a concept that comes out of Islam with a capital "I" and projects the Established Religion of Islam back into the period before would have identified as Muslim. The purpose of said belief, in a functional sense, is to gird Islam in the history afforded by the Judeo-Christian prophetic lineage and ensure its authenticity. islam also affords the believer in Islam a continuity of tradition which Mohammed only continued and corrected as opposed to having the religion of Islam be an affront or disagreement with other divinely-inspired religions. Since islam is derivative of Islam, it does not actually exist prior to Islam.

Islam, as an Established Religion, was organized and directed by Mohammed, who was born in 570 C.E. at Mecca, in Saudi Arabia. According to Islam, he received revelations from God in Mecca in from the year 610-632 C.E. He was supported by several family members like his uncle Ali Ibn Talib and his first wife Khadija to pursue these prophecies. He converted other members to his nascent religion before being expelled from Mecca to Yethrib (now known as Medina) in 622 C.E. When Mohammed became the Chief Hakam or Judge/Administrator of Yethrib, he received many new revelations and began to ask members of his community to memorize these revelations (along with prior ones). These memorizers (in Arabic Hafeths) would eventually be responsible for the creation of one unified Qur'an. By Mohammed's death, he had conquered all of Arabia and converted most of Arabia to his new faith, establishing the grounds for an Islamic Caliphate, which succeeded him.
