Accordingly, the first Muslim Community; per Quran revelation to prophet Muhammad (PBUH); was in Mecca (Makkah) in nowadays the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. However, the first Muslim community in a Muslim state was in Medina (also in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia).

Answer 3

Islam is an Arabic word that means surrender to God and worshiping Him as the one and only one God, the Creator. In this sense Islam started by start of universe creation as all God creatures are created on Islam (submission) to God; their creator. However, if you means Islam per revelation of quran by God to prophet Muhammad through the angel Gabriel (Jibril), then it started in Mecca (or Makkah); that is currently in the Kingdom of Saudi arabia; by start of Quran revelation there. Then continued in Medina (also in Saudi Arabia) until the death of prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in year 632 AD. Refer to related question below.
