I think it was after Jesus the christ. When the Muslims' prophet came and his teaching was about Islam. He was born in 570 C.E. and died in 632 C,E.
Islam was inspired by the influential visions of a man named Muhammad Ibn Abdullah (about 500-632 CE) Merchant from nomadic tribe, married to wealthy widow Khadija. His followers considered him the last of God's prophets. Muhammad's father died before he was born and his mother died when he was six. He was raised by an uncle. Saw greed and materialism of merchants, as counter to Arab tradition of generosity. He went on retreats and had visions for 23 years, his wife encouraged him to listen and he began to share his views to a group of followers (Muslims).Muhammad did not consider himself divine, but a prophet of God, his final voice which was to finish the work of the others (Abraham and Jesus). Starting with 70 Muslims, he built a community of believers, Umma, who united around God's message around 600 in Mecca.
