I'm no scholar, so I can't say whether or not Prophet Muhammad knew a lot about the monotheistic faiths of his time, or was "familiar" with them.
I can say he was at least aware of the only two monotheistic religions around, Judaism and Christianity, just as Jesus was aware of the only monotheistic religion of his time, Judaism.
None. Even Christianity and Judaism they believed God has a son. Prophet Muhammad called them to worship God as the one and only one God with no partner, no son, no associate, no companion, and no equivalence. Quran was revealed to correct for the alterations introduced by human to The Bible and the Torah.
Almighty God sent almost 125,000 Prophets for the guidance of mankind. Hazrat Adam (AS) was the first and the Last Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (May peace be upon him) was the last. So, the Last Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (May peace be upon him) didn't 'CREATE Islam. It was already there. The monotheistic religions already in Arabia were Judaism and Christianity. He was familiar with neither of these two religions because most of the Makkans were idol worshipers. He lived in Makka. He was not an educated person. He didn't know how to read and write. It was Almighty God Who chose him as Prophet and commanded him to preach Islam.
When creating an original extension to a play, you should be familiar with the play itself.
Judaism, Islam, and Christianity would all seem to stem from Abraham (Torah, Bible are sources I'm familiar with.) Abraham's indiscretion with his wife's maidservant (impatient that he "couldn't have children with his wife) lead to Hagar/Ishmael) and the source of the Islamic nations.

First of all, The Prophet (PBUH) DID NOT create Islam. Islam is a religion that has been from the very first day and will remain until the end. Different prophets came and they all preached the same thing, but eventually the people did not remain Muslims. They changed their beliefs. So that is why now a days we have so many religions.Also note: Mohammad was familiar with both Judaism and Christianity; to answer your question; and was informed by God about how both religions were deviated from the righteous monotheism as explained in Quran. Refer to question below.
No. Creating is the present participle of the verb (to create) and can act as an adjective or noun (gerund).There is no adverb form creatingly, because its meaning has been mostly absorbed by the more familiar creatively.
Most religions we think of as indigenous are animistic religions, involving worship of spirits that inhabit familiar objects in the landscape and the heavens. These beliefs arose in similar fashion across the world. Many animistic religions gradually adopted the roles of shamans, to lead worship and rituals. When religions evolved into more sophisitcated forms, they tended to diversify away from their similar origins.
If you are familiar with any other religion, you will know that it is an almost universal requirement of religions to worship their God or gods.
One can learn the steps for creating an instruction manual from a variety of sources. The most important thing to remember when beginning to create an instruction manual is to be intimately familiar with the product.
Just like there were many religions before the codification of the Old Testament of the Bible, there were and still are many religions being formed post the New Testament was completed in circa 95-100 AD. One many will be familiar with today is 'Islam' which was created in the 7th Century AD.
