A Muslim is someone who 'submits to the will of Allah'

So Muslims 'originate from' since the time of the first human being to be created, Adam.

Some people say 'so if Adam was the first Muslim, why is it mentioned in the Quran that Muhammad (PBUH) is the first Muslim?'

The answer is simple, when these types of terms are used in the quran it refers to 'that' time. cuz Muhammad is the first Muslim in 'his time'. not the whole of mankind since Adam was created.

Another example is where the Quran says 'Allah favoured the tribe of Israel over the WHOLE of mankind' this means that Allah favored them over the tribes of 'their time' not OVER the whole of mankind.

hope this helps!
