According to Islam, God created mankind for a single, noble purpose: to worship Him and lead a virtuous life
To convey the message of Monotheism, God sent 1000's of prophets to mankind. Well-known prophets include Adam, Aaron, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Ishmael, Isaiah, David, Daniel, Ezekiel, Moses, Jacob, Jonah, John, Jesus, Solomon, Muhammad and more.
Why are Noah, Abraham, Moses and Jesus called Muslim Prophets?
It is true that ISLAM is a new religion that started in 632 AD, but consider the following:
All prophets sent by God preached MONOTHEISM
The belief in a single God and not associate partners with Him through false dieties, idols, statues, man-gods etc. By preaching Monotheism and submitting to God's Will, all prophets are considered "in essence" as MUSLIM PROPHETS or followers of ISLAM.
ISLAM is an Arabic word translates as 'Submission'
All of God's prophets preached "Submission" to God. So, "in essence" all prophets were MUSLIM PROPHETS, even though they observed earlier Laws (i.e. Jewish etc.)
