I know that Jesus was born after Abraham. But I feel that Jesus name is in the book (Torah) : In diferrent name that refer to the same person.
How about Muhammad?

You're a few centuries off. Jesus was post-OT. Malachi was the last prophet recognized by Jews, and even he was way before the time of Jesus. There is "prophecy" in the Old Testament concerning the messiah, but Jesus of Nazareth is never named.

Jesus started preaching after the Torah was written, Muhammad would be the same

The Torah consists of the five books of the Old Testament, from Genesis (creation) to Exodus (from Egypt). Neither Jesus nor Mohammed are mentioned.
P.S. It would be nicer if you called it the "Jewish holy book" - Jews are the people; Jewish is the adjective

The actual name "Jesus" isn't in the Torah at all. "Jesus" comes from the Greek "Iesous" which has no connection with any Hebrew name at all. Now refering to the Christian New Testement, his name is supposed to mean "God saves". The only Hebrew name that is simular is Yehoshua, which means "God is salvation". Most people know him as Joshua, son of Nun.
The early translators changed Jesus' name from what it was supposed to be to what they wanted it to be. In Hebrew his name is Yehoshua, in Aramaic it is Yeshua, and in English people should know him as Joshua.

Jesus is the English equivalent of the Greek Iesous, which is itself the Greek equivalent of the Hebrew Yehoshua. Yehoshua (meaning God saves) is usually translated in English Bibles as Joshua, because it's being translated directly from the Hebrew. But in the case of Jesus, it went first from Hebrew to Greek, then to English, picking up a few morphological changes along the way.
Joshua, as you may recall, is the one who led the Israelites into the promised land and struck down the Canaanites.

No such name exists. Jesus was not referred to by any name in the Old Testament.

In the Torah Jesus would be the WORD of God...just as John said in his Gospel...In the beginning was the WORD, and the WORD was with God, and the WORD WAS GOD.
The Bible also tells us, All things were made through Him. So, when God would "speak" something into existence, such as in Genesis; "Let there be light"... the speaking, or the WORD of God, created it.
The theology of the Holy Trinity can be deduced from Genesis with the Godhead (God the Father), the WORD (God the Son) and the breath of God in breathing life into Adam (God the Holy Spirit). The original word for Spirit or Holy Spirit means breath of God. God also said, Let US make man in OUR image.
