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.

  • The history of Islam concerns the religion of Islam and its
adherents, Muslims. "Muslim" is an Arabic word meaning "one who submits to God". Muslims and their religion have greatly impacted the political, economic, and military history of the Old World, especially the Middle East, where its roots lie.

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.

Islam began when God started universe creation.

Islam is an Arabic word that means submission and surrender to God. In this sense Islam began by the universe creation where all God creatures were created under their submission (Islam) to God. Upon start of mankind, they are taught through God prophets to be on full submission (Islam) to God. All prophet missions; including Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad, was to hold submission (Islam) to the one and only one God, the Creator.

In this sense:

  • Islam per God revelation of Torah to Moses is called Judaism.
  • Islam per God revelation of The Bible to Jesus is called Christianity.
  • Islam per God revelation of Quran to Muhammad is called the very name Islam.

Islam religion per Quran revelation to prophet Muhammad began in year 610 AD by God revelation of first verses of Quran to prophet Muhammad through the angel Gabriel (Jibril).
