ISLAM BEFORE THE TIME OF PROPHET OF MUHAMMAD S.A.W

Islam had begun during the time of Prophet Adam; this is completely before the time of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. Actually, Islam had spread by a hundred of Messengers and this thought had carried by a thousand of prophets. Have a few hadith had said there is about 124,000 of the prophet’s and 313 of Messengers. All of them had carried the Islamic thought. In Al-Qur’an (Q), it only state 25 Messengers, they are Adam (Q, Al-Baqarah 2:33), Noah, Abraham, Ismail, Isaac, Jacob, Jesus, Job, Jonah, Aron, Solomon, David (Q, Al-Nisa’ 4:163), Idris, Dhu al Kifl, (Q, Al-Anbiya’ 21:85), Hud, Salih (Q, Al-Hud 11:50,61), Syu’ayb (Q, Al-Ankabut 29:36), Moses, Zakariya, John, Lot, Jonas, Illias, Elisha (Q, Al-An’am 6:84-87) and Muhammad (Q, Muhammad 47:2). All thought of these prophet’s and messengers is focus on the thought of Tauhid (only believe to the One God), surrender and bow to Him with doing all His method that He had say and aborted what had He has warned. Al-Qur’an had states about this on al-Baqarah 2:132, which prove that all Abraham generation are Muslim’s.

“And this was the legacy that Abraham left to his sons! God hath chosen the Faith for you; then die not except in the Faith of Islam.”
(Al-Baqarah: 132)

“Say ye: “We believe in God, and the revelation given to us, Ismail, Isaac, Jacob and the Tribes, and that given to Moses and Jesus, and that given to (all) prophets from their Lord: we make no difference between one and another of them: and we bow to God (in Islam).”
(Al-Baqarah: 136)
