Why is Muhammed known as the founder of Islam?

Answer 1

he was the messager of Allah helping Allah

Hazrat Muhammad (May peace be upon him) didn't discover Islam. It was already there in the form of Judaism and Christianity. The key belief in Islam is the ONENESS (TAUHEED) of Almighty God (ALLAH). The belief that Almighty God is the Sole Creator, Sustainer, Provider, and Ruler of all the worlds He has created. He has no Parents, No Off-spring, No Son, No Partner and No Associate in His person or His Absolute Authority. He sent about 1, 25, 000 Prophets (May peace be upon them all) for the guidance of humans. All of them preached Islam.

The last Prophet of islam Hazrat Muhammad (May peace be upon him) got the message of his being a Prophet from Almighty God through the Arch Angel Hazrat Gabriel (Jibril), as did the previous Prophets like Hazrat Abraham (AS), Hazrat Jacob (AS), Hazrat Moses (AS) Hazrat Jesus Christ (AS). His age that time was 40 years. It was 610 AD when he first received the opening verses of the Qur'an.

Answer 2

Islam in its universal sense is much older than the prophesy of prophet Muhammad.

Islam is an Arabic word that means submission and surrender to God. In this sense Islam began by the universe creation where all God creatures were created under their submission (Islam) to God. Upon start of mankind, they are taught through God prophets to be on full submission (Islam) to God. All prophet missions; including Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad, was to hold submission (Islam) to the one and only one God, the Creator.

In this sense:

• Islam per God revelation of Torah to Moses is called Judaism.
• Islam per God revelation of The Bible to Jesus is called Christianity.
• Islam per God revelation of Quran to Muhammad is called the very name Islam.

Accordingly, prophet Muhammad influenced Islam per Quran revelation to him that began in year 610 AD by God revelation of first verses of Quran to prophet Muhammad through the angel Gabriel (Jibril).
