There is no mention of Muslims in the Bible or Torah, because Islam was not founded until way after the canon of the Bible was closed.

However, there are some shared stories between the Qur'an and the Bible and the Qur'an recognizes many of the Biblical prophets and characters, such as Abraham (Ibrahim), Noah (Nuh), and Jesus (Isa). The Arabs are supposed to be descendants of Ishmael (Ismail) and Muhammad was an Arab, and the first Muslims were Arabs. So there is that connection.
Ishmael is to have many descendents, and the Bible says of Ishmael that he will be a "wild *** of a man; his hand against everyone and everyone's hand against him."

I should also mention that the word Muslim means one who submits to God. According to Islam, it is the true religion and one is a Muslim when they submit to the will of God. Therefore, it can be said, with this definition of Muslim, that many people were "Muslims" before Muhammad was born. Abraham, Jesus, and all the prophets were obedient and submitted to the will of God, so they can technically be called Muslims. But they were not "Muslims" in the sense that they accepted Muhammad as a prophet and fasted during Ramadan, etc.

As Muhammed was not born until about 600 years after the time of the Bible, and about 1000 years after the Torah, muslims are not mentioned in either. Muslims have attempted to interpret some of the prophecies of the Bible as referring to Muhammed. But the fulfillment of each of the prophecies is stated in the Bible to have been fulfilled during Bible times, at least 600 years before Muhammed. So, no, muslims are not mentioned in the torah or the bible.

God gave Abraham a PROMISE of an heir and the savoir would come out of his line! Now he and his wife were old and , the promised baby had not showed up yet so he took the maid and had a baby before the promised heir, and he was Ishmeal father of the arabs! Now God had Abraham send him away and said he would not get the inheritance of the other child which was Issacc, But God said send him away and I will bless him to and he will be a nation!!!!!!!But now the arabs dont take that part and they want the promised land that God gave to Issacc! Thats why there fighting today!

Muslims, Jews and Christians are all fellow people of The Book. True Muslims acknowledge Christians and Jews as being children of Abraham just as they are, but the terms for modern day religions are simply man made alterations of the Truth.

Bible and Torah both mentioned the coming of last prophet. Jews specially knew it and believed it. But as the last prophet wasnt from Bani-Isreal (as many prophet were from Bani-Isreal-race of Prophet Yaqoob ) and Muhammad was from Banu-Hashim, jews refused to accept that he was prophet. But before Muhammad jews religious scholors told about the characteristics of new and last prophet.Muhammad had all these characteristics.
Jews scholors mentined it that last Prophet will come with new "Shariah" (way of life). This Shariah is now known as Islam.

Bible clarifies that even Jesus was a muslim.

The Gospel of John, chapter 5 verse 30 says,
John 5:30 "I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgement is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me."

A muslim is a person who submits his will to almighty God. Jesus says in this verse, ".......I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father ......"

I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father. If you translate into Arabic it means Islam. A person who follows Islam is called as a Muslim. So according to the bible Jesus Pbuh was a Muslim.


===========================


We should consider the fact not just the word. The fact is that Jesus preached to believe in one God. Jesus worshipped one True God. Jesus prayed to God( he even fell on his face and prostrated, bible - Matthew 26:39). Jesus preached ten commandments which are found in the teachings of Islam also. Jesus prohibited pork, wine, blood, dead meat or any food on which any name besides God has been taken. Jesus prohibited adultery, fornication. Jesus used to fast for more than a month, Muslims do fast too continously for 30 days in the month of Ramadan. Jesus practiced circumcision (bible - Luke 2:21), Jesus greeted by saying "peace be on you" (Luke 24:36) same as muslims greet i.e. Assalamoalikum means peace be on you, and last but not least, he prohibits Shirk i.e. Associating partners with God almighty (bible Mark 12:29). The teachings of Christianity was never taught by Jesus. Jesus never said that "he is God". Jesus never said that he came to die for the sins of the world. what Jesus preached,, i mentioned above..So all these teachings are part of Islam. So Jesus was a muslim.

god promises to make ishmael's descendants into a great nation (ish. was abraham's child through hagar). But no mention of islam is to be found in any more explicit sense -- the jewish bible finishes up hundreds of years before mohammed is born.

nothing really as Islam was formed after Torah and Bible were written.

But there is Ishmael, son of Abraham and slave girl Harad, whom he sent away (after God said he'll take care of them) once his wife gave birth to Isaac. So that Ishmael became the forefather of Arabs.
