    A short explanation about Islam:

    After Adam & Eve did their mistake by eating the forbidden fruit, then they repented. And after that they were forgiven by God (refer to Quran chapter 2 verse 37 or written as Quran 2:37 and refer to chapter 20 verse 122 or Quran 20:122). This is (one of) true love of God in which none of their descendant carry their sin.

    After they repented and then were send down to earth as God's plan from early (Quran 2:30), then God said that He will send messengers among Adam's descendants (Quran 2:38-39; 20:123-124) so that everybody know Him. That's why for every nation they have messengers (prophets) among them (Quran 13:7; 35:24; 16:36). And this messengers speak according to their own languages (Quran 14:4).

    What all these messengers taught? As the most important commandment, they taught their people to worship Allah alone (Quran 16:36; 21:25) so that the purpose of human's creation (Quran 51:56) was known by all mankind.

    Some story of the messengers were told in the Quran and some were not (Quran 40:78; 4:164). It's because there were so many messengers.

    And then God sent His final messenger i.e. Muhammad pbuh as a final prophet (Quran 33:40) and as a prophet to all mankind (Quran 34:28).

    Before this final prophet, although all the messengers brought the same teaching about God, but every nation in that time have their own rule of life (Quran 5:48). But then as a final messenger, the teaching i.e. Quran of this final messenger i.e. Muhammad pbuh, is not only for certain nation, but it's for all mankind. And this is not my word. This comes from God in Quran 2:185; 14:52; 25:1.

    Hmmm...if Muhammad was the last prophet, then who will tell people about the purpose of creation (Quran 51:56) and to know Allah as a God alone (Quran 16:36; 21:25)? The answer is in Quran 3:104 & 3:110. If before Muhammad pbuh, only prophets have a duty to ask people to know God. But as a people of the final prophet, then we (all mankind) are required to call every single person to worship Him alone. This is again not my word. This comes from Allah in Quran 3:104 & 3:110 above. That's why we are the best nation as mentioned in Quran 3:110.

    Anyway, all prophets got revelations from God, but we don't get any revelation from God. Instead we only use the scripture & teaching brought by final messenger to bring (or call) people to God i.e. Quran (and his teaching that we call as Sunnah). And due to this duty (for all of us), then God promise to prevent His message i.e. Quran, from any corruption (Quran 15:9; 6:115; 18:27). How to prove this? Hope I'll have time to post it later.

    Then whoever never reaches the true messages that ask to "submit to the True God so that we can get peace (in earth & hereafter)" will not be punished by God. Do you know what is the Arabic word for the phrase "submit to the True God so that we can get peace"? The word is "Islam" which derived from words Aslama - to Submit; Salima - Authentic, Pure; and Salaam - Peace, Tranquility.

    In other words, the word "Islam" is derived from the action of submitting (aslama) to the True and Only (salima) God so that we can save (salaam). The only sin that God will not forgive is when we put partner to Him intentionally.

    For example, if in our mind (and according to our logic), we say that God should be One and Only in which His concept should be easy to understand, but then we still accept the concept that we don't fully understand (or mystery), then this is the person who put partner to God intentionally.

    Suppose God make it easy to understand His concept. If not, He (God) can't blame to those who reject Him in hereafter.

    The Islamic religion has been the religion of all the Prophets of God since the beginning of creation. Islam is not a new religion. When Christianity and Judaism eventually were corrupt by man (which is logical, seeing how men have changed the Scriptures to their liking), God sent a final Prophet to mankind to Revert them to the Original teachings of Jesus and Moses and all Prophets before.

    So, basically Islam is just a reversion back to the ways of Jesus and Moses and all Prophets before, and not a New Religion.

    To answer your question however, the beginning of Islamic revelation began approx. 1400 years ago.

    Islam wasn't created or a figment. It has always existed. Allah ta'ala sent down Prophets to show us the way of mankind. To show peace. I'm not going to argue with you about how Muslins are violent. You can think whatever you like/

    where does the message of Muhammad, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, fit in with the previous messages revealed by God? A brief history of the prophets might clear this point.

    The first human, Adam, followed Islam, in that he directed worship to God alone and none else and abided by His commandments. But through the passage of time and the dispersal of humanity throughout the earth, people strayed from this message and began directing worship to others instead of or along with God. Some took to worshipping the pious who passed away amongst them, while others took to worshipping spirits and forces of nature. It was then that God started to send messengers to humanity steering them back to the worship of God Alone, which accorded to their true nature, and warning them of the grave consequences of directing any type of worship to others besides Him.

    The first of these messengers was Noah, who was sent to preach this message of Islam to his people, after they had started to direct worship to their pious forefathers along with God. Noah called his people to leave the worship of their idols, and ordered them to return to the worship of God Alone. Some of them followed the teachings of Noah, while the majority disbelieved in him. Those who followed Noah were followers of Islam, or Muslims, while those that did not, remained in their disbelief and were seized with a punishment for doing so.

    After Noah, God sent messengers to every nation who had strayed from the Truth, to steer them back to it. This Truth was the same throughout time: to reject all objects of worship and to direct all worship without exception to God and none else, the Creator and Lord of all, and to abide by His commandments. But as we mentioned before, because each nation differed in regards to their way of life, language, and culture, specific messengers were sent to specific nations for a specific time period.

    God sent messengers to all nations, and to the Kingdom of Babylon He sent Abraham – one of the earliest and greatest prophets – who called his people to reject the worship of the idols to which they were devoted. He called them to Islam, but they rejected him and even tried to kill him. God put Abraham through many tests, and he proved true to all of them. For his many sacrifices, God proclaimed that he would raise from amongst his progeny a great nation and choose prophets from amongst them. Whenever people from his progeny started to stray away from the Truth, which was to worship none but God alone and to obey His commandments, God sent them another messenger steering them back to it.

    Consequently, we see that many prophets were sent amongst the progeny of Abraham, such as his two sons Isaac and Ishmael, along with Jacob (Israel), Joseph, David, Solomon, Moses, and of course, Jesus, to mention a few, may the peace and blessings of God be upon them all. Each prophet was sent to the Children of Israel (the Jews) when they went astray from the true religion of God, and it became obligatory upon them to follow the messenger which was sent to them and obey their commandments. All of the messengers came with the same message, to reject worship of all other beings except God Alone and to obey His commandments. Some disbelieved in the prophets, while others believed. Those that believed were followers of Islam, or Muslims.

    From amongst the messengers was Muhammad, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, from the progeny of Ishmael, the son of Abraham, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, who was sent as a messenger in succession to Jesus. Muhammad preached the same message of Islam as the previous prophets and messengers – to direct all worship to God Alone and none else and to obey His commandments – in which the followers of the previous prophets went astray.

    So as we see, the Prophet Muhammad was not the founder of a new religion, as many people mistakenly think, but he was sent as the Final Prophet of Islam. By revealing His final message to Muhammad, which is an eternal and universal message for all of mankind, God finally fulfilled the covenant that He made with Abraham.

    Just as it was incumbent upon the those who were alive to follow the message of the last of the succession of prophets which was sent to them, it becomes incumbent upon all of humanity to follow the message of Muhammad. God promised that this message would remain unchanged and fit for all times and places. Suffice is it to say that the way of Islam is the same as the way of the prophet Abraham, because both the Bible and the Quran portray Abraham as a towering example of someone who submitted himself completely to God and directed worship to Him alone and none else, and without any intermediaries. Once this is realized, it should be clear that Islam has the most continuous and universal message of any religion, because all prophets and messengers were “Muslims”, i.e. those who submitted to God’s will, and they preached “Islam”, i.e. submission to the will of Almighty God by worshipping Him Alone and obeying His commandments.

    So we see that those who call themselves Muslims today do not follow a new religion; rather they follow the religion and message of all prophets and messengers which were sent to humanity by God’s command, also known as Islam. The word “Islam” is an Arabic word which literally means “submission to God”, and Muslims are those who willfully submit to and actively obey God, living in accordance with His message.
