The religion of Islam in 500 AD is the same religion of Islam at the start of the universe creation. Islam means submission and surrender to God with no partner or associate.

Only the ritual worships that differ from one religion to another according to God assignments to each prophet.
Islam is the submission to God. and Islam believes all religions of God are the same but developed during history and all are from one God. islam considers all religions from God like judaism and Christinity the same and call all of them Islam and Islam calls any one who is submitted to God a Muslim even if he has another religion of God.
