Islam is the religion, the way of life of Muslims of the world. There are over one billion Muslims
spread across the globe in all nationalities, languages and ethnic backgrounds. Islam was the
religion of the first couple, Adam and Eve. It was also the religion of messengers of God like Noah,
Abraham, Moses and Jesus. The essence of their message was:
Believe and obey the One true God and obey His messengers.
Jesus (peace be on him) was the second-last prophet of God. He foretold the coming of the last
Prophet Muhammad (peace be on him). While the message of the earlier messengers, including
Jesus was limited, prophet Muhammad's message and mission is universal and will remain so till
the end of this world. Belief in Islam means
Belief in One God
belief in all of God's messengers
belief in all the books sent down to His prophets. These books include Torah and Gospel
belief in the existence of angels
belief in the Day of Judgment and Life after Death, Heaven and Hell
belief in the Divine Decree or Predestination, its good and its bad.

Well, we muslims believe that from Adam and Eve, there is only one religion followed by all prophets, that is islam. Their teachings later got distorted to form other religions like christianity

You must respect the replies of all the Muslims here. This is their belief that all who worshiped the One G-d was a Muslim--as far back as Adam.
I am a Jew, and I do not accept this as my belief. But, I must say, it does have powerful meaning and respect of those who worship the One and only G-d.

Good question Cris, but let me explain
before Muhammed (prayers and peace upon him) the Islamic Religion didn't exist...Jesus was considered a Muslim in the Islamic Religion because he worshipped one God only
Islam = submission to one God

Jesus was a Muslim because of the meaning of the word.
Muslim is used to label ANYONE who "submits his/her will to God". Islam is a religion for ANYONE who "submits his/her will to God".
So, as you can see, ALL the Prophets of God were Muslims, through the very definition of the word.
It's not to be defined as a group of people, like the Jews, or Christians. Muslims are named so because of their action of submission to the Will of the Lord of the Worlds.

Jesus wasn't a muslim just like he wasn't a christian. he was a jew. in every aspect. the muslims claim him because he still comes from the same bloodline of abraham.

Jesus Isaa alayhi a salaam was a Muslim prophet and people changed his words and everything and corrupted the once true Gospel. Now the Quran is the preserved words and is the same as the once true Gospel. Salaam.

God made a religion to send it on earth and for its preaching He sent prophets jesus was one of them
the religion is one but it was modified according to human needs and recquirments and for their betterment
Islam is the most modified form
God said"I choose Islam as the best religion for you"
and MUhammad salalahualaihaywasalum was the last prophet God sent for us
and His teachings are the true ones

He wasn't a Muslim, they just like to say that. He was a Jew, in fact He was King of the Jews. Lord of Lords and King of Kings.
