He didn't find it, he started it.
When Mohammed was growing up, the Middle East was mainly pagan/multitheistic. He got a great deal of inspiration from his first wife's uncle, who was a Christian. Islam is heavily influenced by the older Abrahamic faiths (Judaism and Christianity).

Hi,
The dates often given for Hz. Muhammad's life are 570-632 AD/CE.
The earliest surviving biography of Hz. Muhammad is a collection of hadith called the Sirah Rasul Allah or, the Life of the Apostle of God, by Ibn Ishaq, a member of the Tabi‘in generation who was born 85 years after Hijra — approximately 717 — and who died in 767.
Hz. Muhammad often retreated to Mount Hira near Mecca. Islamic tradition holds that the angel Gabriel began communicating with him here in the year 610 and commanded Muhammad to recite the following verses:[23]
Proclaim! (or read!) in the name of thy Lord and Cherisher, Who created- Created man, out of a (mere) clot of congealed blood: Proclaim! And thy Lord is Most Bountiful,- He Who taught (the use of) the pen,- Taught man that which he knew not.

About 500 AD. Various tribes of Arabs were fighting each other in the Desert. He told them - do not waste your resources on fighting each other - become united under Islam and fight the rest of the World instead. He was very successful.
