Did Islam start from Abraham

Answer 1

Another Answer:

The Qur'an makes various contradictions about who the first Muslim was. Some verses claim that the 'prophet' Muhammad was the first Muslim. For example, "He hath no associate. This am I commanded, and I [Muhammad] am the first of the Muslims." S. 6:163. At other times the Qur'an states Moses to be the first Muslim. "And Moses fell down senseless. And when he woke he said: Glory unto Thee! I turn unto Thee repentant, and I am the first of (true) believers." Sura 7:143. And at other times Adam, Abraham and Jesus (all born before Muhammad) were claimed to be the first Muslims. Because of the many contradictions in Qur'anic sources it can only be assumed that Islam started with Muhammad's claims of revelations in the 7th Century AD.

Another Answer:

Islam was revealed to the world by the (self declared) prophet Muhammad around the year 600. Muslims, however, do not believe that he was the creator of a new religion, but simply the restorer of the original, uncorrupted monotheistic faith of Adam, Abraham and others

Another Answer:

Both Islam and Judaism (and, thus, Christianity) are considered "Abrahamic faiths," in that they stem from a connection to Abraham as described in the Torah, The Bible, and the Qu'ran. Since Islam is predominantly an Arabic religion, it has been concluded that Islam stems from Ishmael, the elder son of Abraham and half-brother of Isaac father of Jacob (later named Israel).

As per history, Islam began in Mecca, Saudi Arabia when God revealed the Qur'an to the prophet of Islam but....... the Muslim's perspective is completely different, as per Muslim, Islam and quran....Adam, Abraham, Noah, moses, Jesus ( Adam, Ibrahaim, Nuh, moosa,Isa in Arabic respectively) are messengers of Allah and came with the same message of montheism and message of one god and being creator of universe.

As per Muslim ,Islam and Quran ... the Islam is absolute religion which exists from the day one of the mankind and Adam (peace be upon him) was the first prophet/messenger of Allah ....and the last being Muhammad (peace be upon him) ......

The following verses from Quran proves the point ....

And He(Allah) taught Adam the names of all things; then He placed them before the angels, and said: "Tell me the names of these if ye are right."

( Quran,Al-Baqara, Chapter #2, Verse #31)

Allah did choose Adam and Noah, the family of Abraham, and the family of 'Imran above all people,-

( Quran,Aal-e-Imran, Chapter #3, Verse #33)

We(Allah) have sent thee inspiration, as We sent it to Noah and the Messengers after him: we sent inspiration to Abraham, Isma'il, Isaac, Jacob and the Tribes, to Jesus, Job, Jonah, Aaron, and Solomon, and to David We gave the Psalms.

( Quran,An-Nisa, Chapter #4, Verse #163)

And remember We(Allah) took from the prophets their covenant: As (We did) from thee: from Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus the son of Mary: We took from them a solemn covenant:

( Quran,Al-Ahzab, Chapter #33, Verse #7)

We(Allah) gave Moses the Book and followed him up with a succession of apostles; We gave Jesus the son of Mary Clear (Signs) and strengthened him with the holy spirit. Is it that whenever there comes to you an apostle with what ye yourselves desire not, ye are puffed up with pride?- Some ye called impostors, and others ye slay!

( Quran , Al-Baqara, Chapter #2, Verse #87)

So as per Muslim ,Islam and Quran ... the Islam is absolute religion which exists from the day one of the mankind and Adam (peace be upon him) was the first prophet/messenger of Allah ..and the last being Muhammad (peace be upon him).

Another Answer:

There are several factors here. We know that Muslims are ordered to believe certain things, but there is also historical facts.

• The Qur'an of today is written in Classical Arabic, a product of the 9th century.
• The Sunnah, consisting of Ishaq's, Sirat Rasual Allah, was writtin in 750 AD and editid in 830. This is Islams oldest source.
• The history of Al-Taburi, writtin between 870 and 920.
• Al Bukhari writtin in 850
• Muslim was a student of Bukhari.
• This is the ONLY source for All of Islam.
• The earliest is 120 years after the fact.
• The groundwork for Islam was started by a fellow named Luhayy.
• He is the one who brought the idea and rocks from Syira.
• 80 years later Qusayy estlablished the 5 pillars.
• Muhammed was adopted into Qusayy's family 5 generations later.

All of this information is available in the above books I mentioned, but Muslims are not supposed to read them

Answer 2

Islam does not track back only to Hazrat Abraham (May peace be upon him). Hazrat Abraham (AS) is one of the Most Important Prophets of Islam. The Last Prophet of Islam Hazrat Muhammad (MPBUH) was the grand, grand son of Hazrat Ismaiel (AS), the first son of Hazrat Abraham (AS), the second being Hazrat Ishaque (AS).

Islam is the heavenly religion It is not limited to any particular region or country. The first Man and Prophet of Almighty God Hazarat Adam (AS) started Islam Religion. Islam is the set of rules given by Almighty God to the Prophets from time to time for the guidance of humans, especially when they turned astray. These rules were given to Hazrat Adam (AS), Hazrat Noa (AS), Hazrat Abraham (AS), Hazrat Moses (AS), Hazrat Jesus Christ (AS) and the last of the series of Prophets Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa (May peace be upon him). He was born in Makka, Arabia in 570 AD and started preaching Islam in 610 AD when the first verses of the holy Qur'an were revealed to him.

Thus Islam is the heavenly religion given step by step as human society advanced. It was completed at the last Prophet but the message of all the Prophets (May peace be upon them all) was the same: ONENESS of Almighty God Who alone is the Creator, Sustainer, Provider and Ruler of all the worlds He has created. He has No Son, No Parents and No Partner or Associate. The idea of Trinity was Not given by Hazrat Jesus Christ (May peace be upon him). It was invented much later. There have been about 1,25,000 Prophets who preached the message of Almighty God to human beings.

Answer 3

Abraham (Ibrahim) is the prophet calling for Islam in its unversal meaning as full submission to God (the Creator), the one and only one God, without a partner, or a son, or a father, or a resemblance. In this sense all prophets since start of mankind called for Islam, including Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad (peace be upon them). However, Prophet Muhammad is the first prophet called for Islam as religion based on Quran revelation by God to him through the Angel Gabriel (Jibril) that started in year 610 AD and continued until year 632 AD (the year of prophet Muhammad death).

Answer 4

There are perhaps three points of view regarding the beginning of Islam.

The biblical view is that Abraham was the father of Ishmail, and that Ishmael was the forefather of the Arabs. This, of course, does not make Abraham the founder of Islam.

The Islamic view is that Islam has always existed and therefore Adam was the first Muslim.

The historical view is that the Prophet Muhammad started Islam in the seventh century CE.
