Before God revealed himself to Muhammad, the Arabian Peninsula and Middle East/Persia were all polytheistic. There were small communities on the Levantine coast, Palestine and North Africa that were Christian. I don't know that Muslims worship God as they respect and revere him as the Almighty as do Jews and Christians. Respect through traditions such as prayer seems like worship but is more of a physical act of submitting to God.

I suppose by Muslims you mean Arabs. The stories of the old testament were current in the region as were some stories about Jesus. I think though that they adhered to the pantheism that emanated from old Babylon.

there weren't any muslims before muhammed (saw) because there was no islam before muhammed (saw) and without islam how can thier be any muslims? Thats like saying what did christains worship before jesus (pbuh), there were not any christians before jesus because jesus (pbuh) introduced christianity.

According to the Muslims, they worshipped Yeshua, and then Jesus (as God), and then Allah.

They had many gods (the technical name is they were "polytheistic"). Their gods were derived from natural phenomena. Have a look at Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabs
