Allah's the founder. Prophet Muhammad's people called it ISLAM, means aslamah - aslahah - being saved - being entrust our hope to The One And Only.
Prophet Adam is the first human that called Allah's name. ISLAM is only a nickname given by moslems. ISLAM people or moslems, worship by every breath they have, every step they walk, every movements they do. With a good will, they have done their worship. But the most and have to be done by moslems are :
1. Declare & believe Syahadatain ( AShadu Alaa Ilaa Ha Illallah, Wa ashadu Anna MUhammadan abduhu wa Rasulillaah.. - I testify that Allah is The One and other God Than Allah, And prophet Muhammad is Allah's Messenger)
2. Do Shalat, the main ones 5 times a day ( Shubuh - dawn, Dzuhur - midday, Ashar - afternoon, Maghrib - dusk, Isya' - night)
3. ah....... you better learn it by yourself, because it's too georgeous to tell..
K?

The original, unchanged revelations given to Abraham and other prophets(like Moses and Jesus ) reaching back to Adam all came from the One True God(The Creator). This common origin explains their similarities in many beliefs and values
However, over time the teachings of the various religions, due to a variety of reasons, have become distorted and mixed with made-man ideas.
The last Prophet and Messenger of God, Muhammad , who is a direct descendant of Abraham through his first born son, Ishmael, was sent with the Last Guidance, Revelation and Testament, the Holy Qur'an(koran) to amend and correct the changes and corruption made to the the "Torah" which was sent to Moses and theTrue Gospel of Jesus.To say the truth ,God preserved all the other Holy Books plainly by preserving His Last Book the Holy Qur'an(koran)which contains the right and the truth of all that was changed in those other Books.
This is why this last Revelation which was sent 1423 years ago has remained unchanged, not even a word or a letter has been altered.
There is not even one word of difference between two Arabic Qur'ans, anywhere in the world. There has been no disagreements in history among Muslims as to what should and should not be in the Qur'an. However, in the case of the Bible, even the most ancient manuscripts conflict with one another so that no two are identical. Footnotes in all modern versions of the Bible prove this fact.
These revisions serve as concrete proofs that all the Biblical books are not at all divinely inspired. This is because it is beyond man's ability to correct the work of his Creator, who alone is Almighty and perfect
It was only natural for Almighty God to preserve the scripture revealed to Prophet Muhammad, because he was the last Prophet and Final Messenger of God.
Islam teaches us that we must pray directly to God without an intermediary and no soul can bear the burden of another and that the nature of humanity is good, and we did not inherit sin from Adam. Each soul comes into being free of sin.in Islam there are no priests or clergy -- each worshipper, man or woman, has a direct relationship with their Merciful Creator -- Almighty God. Since God is the Owner and Sustainer of everything, as well as the only one who can provide true and complete forgiveness, it is completely futile to try to approach Him through anyone else.
The oneness and universality of God's message requires that people accept all the messengers of God. Rejecting one of them amounts to rejecting them all. The Jews reject Jesus's mission and Muhammad's mission; the Christians reject Muhammad's mission; whereas the Muslims accept them all, but reject incorrect historical interpretations and human elements in these missions.
As the Qur'an is the final revelation and Muhammad is the final prophet, humanity is obligated to accept it: "If anyone desires a religion other than Islam, never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost all spiritual good" (3:86).
The Final Prophet Muhammad said: "Whoever believes there is no god but God, alone without partner, that Muhammad is His messenger, that Jesus is messenger of God, and that Paradise and Hell are true, shall be received by God into Heaven."
you can do that now as you are reading these lines is to pronounce the two confirmations and attestations of faith, here it is
I BEAR WITNESS THAT THERE IS NO GOD WORTHY OF WORSHIP EXCEPT ALLAH ( ARABIC WORD MEANS ONE GOD-THE CREATOR). AND I BEAR WITNESS THAT MUHAMMAD IS HIS SERVANT AND MESSENGER. I BEAR WITNESS THAT JESUS IS HIS SERVANT AND MESSENGER.
The right picture of lslam is conveyed in the Qur'an, which is exemplified by Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him. The reality is that it is not fair to judge a religion by the actions of its followers alone because there are good and bad followers in every religion. The correct thing to do is to judge a religion by its documented revelation from God and the prophet who brought that revelation.
I encourage Christians and other religions to learn about Islam from Muslim sources and The Basis Of The Muslim Belief and not rely on second hand information which in many cases is distorted or contains a deep seated anti Muslim agenda. This is indeed a more scholarly approach

Allah, the God in Arabic is the founder of Islam. Islam was revealed first to Adam and to all the prophets who followed him. But this revalations are for a particular period or for a particular community lived during that time. Islam was completely revealed to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) the last and final messenger of Allah, the God. Muslims do believe in Jesus (pbuh) and Moses (pnuh) and all other God's prophets. Muslims must pray 5 times a day and on Fridays there will be sermon in the mosque. please log in to www.islamonline.net for more information on Islam.

My friend, as it takes a great deal of time to understand what Islam really is, kindly watch a revealing documentary entitled 'Islam - Empire of Faith' made by PBS at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyNeULY4E1I

Islam means submission to God, Muslims believe that all the Prophets that came bought Islam i.e. the message to submit to God. However Islam as we know it today was perfected and Muhammad (pbuh) was given the duty to give it to the world.

We pray to the Creator, the All-Mighty, the Oft-Forgiving, Most-Merciful God.
The Qu'ran is the final testament, revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) thru the Archangel Gabriel from God.

Islam means submission to God, therefore Adam was the first Muslim. There were revelations to many prophets throughout history, and all taught submission to God, therefore all were Muslim.
