Islam means obeying the order of God with the oneness of Almighty, this order brought by the Prophet of the age. According to the Holy Quran Islam not begins with the Prophet Muhammad, but Noah, Abraham, Moses were messengers of Islam. Therefore Islam is the older religion, it names are different in every era. Islam does not begin by the Prophet Muhammad PBUH, but he brought a new law, not a new Deen or religion. At the period of Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus (الدين)religion was Islam, but New thing which Prophet Muhammad brought is Sharia(شريعة) or the law or way of life.
Quran says: He has prescribed for you the religion which he had enjoined upon Noah and which we have also revealed to you, and which we had enjoined upon Abraham, Moses and Jesus, declaring, Maintain the religion, and do not be divided in it. (surtushura:13)
Allah says to the Prophet Muhammad in the Holy Qur'an: Say, O people of the book! (Jewish and Christian people)Come to a word common between us and you: that we will worship no one but Allah, and that we will not ascribe any partner to him, and that we will not take each other as lords besides Allah. But if they turn away, Be witnesses that we are Muslims. O people of the book!why do you argue concerning Abraham? Neither the Torah not the Evangel were sent down until after him.Do you not apply reason? Ah! You are the very ones who argue about that of which you have knowledge.why then do you argue about that of which you have no knowledge? And Allah knows and you do not know. Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian. Rather he was a hanif, a Muslim, and he was not one of the polytheists. Indeed the nearest of all people to Abraham are those who follow him, and this prophet and those who have faith, and Allah is the Guardian of the faithful.(Surat Al Imran:65,66,67,68)
