What Is Islam?

Where Did The Religion Start?
====Islam started since the beginning of this world. First Adam(PBUH) was sent, later whenever man goes towards evil Allah sent messengers for preaching and bringing back on the right path. All the Messengers came for a particular area or community while the last prophet Mohammad(PBUH) came for the entire mankind, and after that no prophet will come according to Quran. Abraham(PBUH), David(PBUH), Moses(PBUH) and Christ(PBUH) were the prophets of islam, who came with the same teachings of calling towards one God(Allah), as He is superior and merciful and other than Him nobody can harm and profit you. As time passed people started calling them the sons of God(Judaism & christianity) and shown the wrong meaning of their teaching for personal benefits and worldly profits. ====
