A previous answer to one of my questions by WWJBU explained that Islam refers to a state of belief in the absolute oneness of Allah, and the message of his prophets, and that a Muslim is one who submits himself wholly to Allah.
Further, WWJBU suggested that, for example, Abraham would have been a Muslim, because he complied with the two statements above.
What interests me is, would, say, Moses have considered himself Muslim, and that it was desirable to live in a state of Islam? Or are these notions a modern interpretation (as followed by today's Muslims) quite alien to a man living in that age?
