Islam was established in around 610 CE in Mecca (present day Saudia Arabia). == == Islam means Submission to God. In this meaning it is the objective of God revelations to all prophets including Noah, Abraham, Isac, Jacob, Moses, Jesus until Mohamed.
Judaism is the religion according to God revelation to Prophet Moses. Christianity is the religion according to God revelation to Prophet Jesus. The very name Islam is the religion according to God revelation to Prophet Mohamed.
Islam , as the religion revelation to Prophet Mohamed, started in year 610 by the revelation of the first verse of Quran (the Islam religion Holy book) in Mecca (in present country Saudi Arabia). In year 622 CE, he left Mecca with his followers (due to sufferings in Mecca and being subject to assassination plot) to a city in the north named Yathrib (later Medina), where another Muslim community had begun to grow. The date of this emigration, the year 622 CE, is the beginning year for the Muslim calendar. Quran revelation to Prophet Mohamed continued until his death in year 632.
When the prophet died in 632 CE, Islam was on its way to becoming the faith of millions of followers.
In Islam Mohamed is regarded as a prophet - his role is more like that of Moses in Judaism rather than Jesus in Christianity. He is not regarded in anyway as divine, but rather only as the person through which the will of God is revealed.
_Note: Mohamed may be spelled as Muhammad or Mohammed or Mohammad References: http://www.suite101.com/lesson.cfm/19155/2794/2
Many Muslims believe that Islam has existed since the beginning of Creation. All prophets Jesus, Abraham, Moses, David and others all bring Islam.
It is understood by Muslims that the prophet Mohamed began receiving the Quran from God via the Angel Gabriel in the year AD610.
