Muslims believe that ALLAH(Subhanna WA ta'ala) chose Islam and perfected Islam for all his creatures(animals, space, plants, angels, humans, and jinn). Islam teaches that everyone is born Muslim or in a state of Al Fitrah(belief in ONE God). The parents make the child a Jew, Christian, Muslim, etc.). So when a person as a child, adult, or teenager decides to accept Islam, they are coming back to the religion they were born into. Islam is a person's birth right. That being said, the universal religion is Islam. The first people to receive Islam were Prophet Adam(peace be upon him) and Hawaa(eve). Adam(Peace be upon him) was made the first Caliph for the human race, and Islam was sent down to all people through their prophets(peace be upon them). Muslims believe that there were 124,000 prophets(peace be upon them), but only 313 were actual messengers. This is according to some Hadiths(Sayings and actions of Prophet Muhammad Salla Allahu Alahi Wa Salaam). Islam's final prophet is Muhammad(Salla Allahu Alahi Wa Salaam), who came as the prophet for ALL NATIONS. He is the last prophet and thus compelets the message of Islam. The first person to refer to people as Muslims was prophet Abraham(peace be upon him). ALLAH is THE GOD in Arabic. The Qur'an was revealed to Prophet Muhammad(Salla Allahu Alahi Wa Salaam) through the Angel Gabriel, over a period of 23 years in the cave of Mount Hira which is located in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. Muhammad(Salla Allahu Alahi Wa Salaam) received prophethood at the age of 40 years old, and was illiterate. Muslims believe the Qur'an to be the final testament and the word of God in it's complete form. They believe that the Torah, Gospel, Scrolls of Abraham, and the Psalms were corrupted by mankind and no longer hold any truth in them. The prophet Muhammad(Salla Allahu Alahi Wa Salaam) did not start Islam. Rather it is the religion of ALLAH(Subhanna WA ta'ala) who chose Islam and perfected for all His creatures, including all of mankind. So in essence the message of Islam started with Prophet Adam(peace be upon him) and spread through the nations until prophet Muhammad(Salla Allahu Alahi Wa Salam), through each nation's respected prophets(peace be upon them). But if you'd like a definte answer, aside from what I've given you, then Islam came practice with the prophet Muhammad(Salla Allahu Alahi Wa Salaam).
