  I have to disagree somewhat here...Abraham is the Father of the Jewish and Muslim Linages. Christianity is more for the Gentiles(non-Israel peoples). Although Christian, Muslim and Jewish religions are refered to as the Abrahamic religions. Funny how Adam was the "first" Man and talked personally with God everyday in the cool of the evening and yet we have no teachings from him or from his direct offspring included in modern religions.

  Um, no. It isn't. In all actuality, scholars now believe that Abraham was a religious follower of the first monotheistic religion known as Zorastrianism. Which happens to be the mother religion of Judaism, Christianity, and Muslim.

  Quran does not mention specifically Abraham being the first one who submitted to Allah- the Creator God; it is general and open. Adam or any other person before him, since the time humans existed, who submitted to Him could be:
  
  [2:113] Nay, whoever submits himself completely to Allah, and is the doer of good, shall have his reward with his Lord. No fear shall come upon such, neither shall they grieve.

  Being the First ... Adam, is the First Prophet of God and the First Muslim, in his Progeny are Prophets, Noah, and his descendant, Abraham, and in his progeny,. are Imran, and his children ... all were Followers of The Word of God ... hence, Muslims ... Peace be upon them all ... But for short whiles.
  
  But their children, and followers, went totally errant, rejected The Word of God, ridiculed the Followers, and unjustly murdered the Prophets of God ... These mischievous ones, were Rejected for ever ... and shall thus remain Vagrants, till the Judgment Day.

  It was Adam, the first Muslim. Muslims are the followers of Islam, which believes in Unity of God and From Adam to Muhammad, all Prophets' believe was in One God. So it was Adam who was the first Muslim on Earth.

  This question is quite ambiguous. Since it was the one which was created for the first time by Allah Subhanahu Wata'ala was the first Muslim in this world. It was not Nabiyullah Adam 'Alaihis Salam but, it can be Jibril - the Greatest Angel among the whole Angels, because Angels had been created by Allah before other creatures. Some stories that I have got said, it was the soul of Rasullaahu 'Alaihi Wasallam (Muhammad) was the first creature created by Allah - which automatically was the first Muslim in the world.

  Islam didn't exist yet. Abraham is widely known as the father of many religions . this is accepted by the bible,the torah as well as the koran. In the Bible, this is merely an exercise of the Abrahamic Covenant, God's promise to Abraham. Even Muslims believe this.

  I understand that Muslims consider Abraham the father of three religions but to consider Abraham as the first Muslim is entirely different and impossible because it doesn't make sense chronologically. So no, Abraham is not the first Muslim.

  The term "Muslim" started after the advent of Muhammad; those who among other things belived Muhammad as a truthful Messenger Prophet of the Creator-God Allah YHWH are called Muslims. The word "Muslim" however existed in Arabic before the advent of Muhammad and meant one who submits to the Truth and is peaceful; in this sense Abraham and other Messengers Prophets including Moses and Jesus are Muslims.

True Muslim (Mohammedan)
He is a true Muslim who does not harass the humble and the meek. It is written in the Commandments of Prophet that he is not a Muslim who frightens his neighbour, whether the neighbour is a believer (Momin) or un-believer (Kafar). He who persecutes his neighbour goes straight to hell even though he may offer prayer (Namaz) throughout the night and keep fast for the whole day.
He is a Mohammedan who preserves the honour of soul
and obeys the Lord's instructions.
He who provides comfort to all,
know him to be a true Muslim.
Dadu ! A Muslim is always compassionate to others.
He provides comfort, pleasures to all and gives trouble to none.
He does not eat the dead nor kills those who are alive.
He practises devotion and paves the way for meeting the Lord.

  Qur’an 3:56 “As for those disbelieving infidels, I will punish them with a terrible agony in this world and the next. They have no one to help or save them.”
  
  Qur’an 4.89 They desire that you should disbelieve as they have disbelieved, so that you might be (all) alike; therefore take not from among them friends until they fly (their homes) in Allah’s way; but if they turn back, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them, and take not from among them a friend or a helper.

  Christianity wasnt developed for Gentiles who couldnt change their bloodline. Gentiles could become Jews through cetian steps, there were rituals for such things. Christianity came about because people, Jews alike Saul of Tarsus for one, stood on the hope and belief that Jesus was the Messiah that came and freed them from the law. Under Christ is a New Covnant with the people. There is no law only Christ. One who tires to save himself with the law now does so in futility. One who tries to save himself through belief in Christ and following the law is pretty much saying Christ isnt who he said he was. The law became abolished through Christ, he is the fullfilment of the law.

I'm not going to read all the responses in order to shape my answer...

However, it is my understanding that Muslims see themselves as following more closely to the traditions of Abraham than Christians or Jews, though they are all intrinsically related.

On another note, Abraham was a polygamist....he had wives and concubines...and many children in and out of wedlock that he disowned and left no inheritance to.... He is the first father of bastards...of fatherless children...of single-parent families...

He tried to incorporate Jews and Christians, but got angry a ways through and turned on them...thus you see why he changes his views on Jews and Christians.... at first he said nice things and peaceful things...then he got angry and changed to "kill them and lay in wait for them"...

  libby where it says "kill them and lay in wait for them"... ???
  
  libby, eg which Islamic flag? Because there is no Islamic country in the world which has a Islamic flag. All Islamic countries are run under a democratic system and not the Sharia Law.
  
  And have you also done extensive research on the God of the Bible, i.e Jesus.
  
  1) How he beacame God or Son of God (In fact Sun God)?
  
  2) Why Christians started using Solar Calendar instead of Lunar which Jews and Muslims follow?
  
  3) Why the holiday of the Christians become "Sun-day"?
  
  4) Why the birth day of Jesus is celebrated on 25th, even though there is no evidence of it in the Bible?
  
  Let me share my extensive research with PROOFS, remember with PROOFS.
  
  The divinity of Jesus was decided by a vote in the 4th century by Constantine, a Roman Emperor and a Sun worshiper. For almost 300 years Christianity had a rather small following. It was not until the Emperor Constantine adopted it as his personal religion that it spread out of the Mediterranean area and really caught on. Constantine converted to Christianity in 312 CE. He decided to use Christianity as a way of unifying his fragmented empire but before doing so he had to organize the religion its self. Using his powers to directly influence Christian doctrine, Constantine introduced and presided over the first ecumenical council at Nicea in 325 to settle ideological disputes in the Church. One of the disputes he settled was if Jesus was divine or not. The matter of Jesus had to be determined because Constantine decided to make Christianity the official state religion of Rome. He supported the deification of Jesus because he believed that it would be popular among his subjects whose current religions were led by contemporaneous god-men such as Mithras and Dionysus. Therefore, most of the Arian bishops were excluded from the council. At this council, Jesus was declared divine by a vote. All text contradicting this belief was burnt. Even theologians maintain that Jesus’ divinity, and the related doctrine of the trinity was not part of the teachings of Jesus and the apostles, but merely invented by the church centuries later.
  
  For example, in a sermon given in August, 1964, at New York City, theologian James A. Pike declared, "The Trinity is not necessary. Our Lord never heard of it. The apostles knew nothing of it."
  
  Victor Paul Wierwille, founder of "The Way International," claims in his book, Jesus Christ Is Not God, that the early church (to 330 A.D.) never believed in the Trinity or in Christ’s deity. In the entire Bible, one cannot find the word "trinity" anywhere. The only verse that hints at it is this:
  
  I John 5:7 "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one."
  
  And this verse is recognized as an interpolation, an added forgery, by reputable Bible scholars and apologists alike. I John 5:7 is not found in any ancient manuscripts prior to 500 CE.
  
  One of the other things that Constantine changed was the Calendar. Muslims and Jews follow the lunar calendar, which is more accurate. Christians also used to follow the lunar calendar, but they switched to the solar calendar because it was instituted by the Emperor Constantine. Since he was a sun worshiper, he followed the "solar" calendar. He also decided to celebrate Jesus' birthday on the 25th of December although there is no evidence of that in the Bible. December 25th was the birthday of a pagan god but Constantine merged that into Christianity, so that it would be acceptable to his people, as they already celebrated that day. Constantine also made "Sunday" the holy day for Christians, again because he was a sun worshiper.
  
  ---> Current Bible prove Constantine put Jesus in the place of Mithra and now Christians pay him adoration originally paid to the PAGAN SUN-Gods!:
  
  "I am the root and offspring of David, AND THE BRIGHT AND MORNING STAR." (Revelation 22:16)
  
  It is crystal clear that the SUN is the "BRIGHT AND MORNING STAR".
  
  HEY libby, do you want more Proofs, then reply, i have plenty of evidence.

"Allah chose Adam, Nooh (Noah), the family of Ibrahim (Abraham) and the family of Imran above the Alameen (mankind and jinns). (Quran 3:33)

Islam is not only a religion, it is a way of life. Islam does not trace itself back to a founder like other religions do. Muhammad (PBUH) is far from the founder of Islam. He finished Islam, he completed it. If any human is to be given the title of the founder of Islam, it should be Adam (PBUH). He was the first man and the first prophet sent to the world.

---> The meaning of the words 'Islam' & 'Muslim'. Islam is derived from Arabic word "Salema" means peace, purity, surrender, submission and obedience. Muslim means 'one who submits to the will of God'. According to this meaning, all the prophets starting from Adam (PBUH) to Muhammad (PBUH) were Muslims. The religion which Abraham (PBUH), David (PBUH), Moses (PBUH), Jesus (PBUH) preached was Islam. Muhammad (PBUH), the last prophet of God, only restored & enforced the message of 'submission to the will of God', preached by the earlier prophets. The word Christianity & Judaism doesn't even exist in your holy books. In fact, Christianity takes its appellation from the name of Jesus Christ and Judaism from the name of the tribe Judah, wherein it took its birth. The word 'Islam' enjoys the unique distinction of having no such association with any particular person or tribe. It is a universal religion & it is an attributive title, whosoever possesses this attributive, may he belong to any race, community, country, or clan, is a Muslim.

---> "Muslim" is not a new word that is found only in the Qur'an. "Muslim" is just the Arabic form. This word already existed in both Hebrew and Aramaic. It is derived from the root "S L M". The words "Salam" and "Islam" are also derived from this root. "Salam" means peace. The Aramaic equivalent of the Arabic word 'Muslim’ is "Mushlam". It is derived from the root "SH L M". The words "Shalom" and "Shlama" are also derived from this root. "Shalom" means peace. Both Islam & Shlama means peace acquired by submission to the will of God.

---> Every prophet that came to this world stressed on the concept of One God, and told people to worship One God alone. Nothing is worthy of worship besides, or along with, that One True God.

The first commandment of the Jews is: "Thou shall not take any god except One God" [Deuteronomy 6:4].

Jesus is reported to have said: "The Lord God, the Lord is One." [Mark 12:29].

Similarly, God says in the Quran: "Your God is One God; there is no god but He, Most Gracious, Most Merciful." [Quran 2:163].

---> "Al-Islam" is Arabic. "Shlama" is Aramaic. The meaning is the same. In Arabic, the word "Al" is added before a word to make it definite. Similarly, in Aramaic, the alphabet "a" is added at the end of a word to make it definite. So, in Aramaic, "a" is added after Shlam to make it "Shlama," and in Arabic "Al" is added at the beginning to make it "Al-Islam." Both mean the same: To submit oneself to the Will of God.

Jesus said: “All of You who Submit your will to God, are my true Brothers and Sisters.” (Mark 3:31-35).

---> Jesus called God as ‘Alah’: Arabic word for God is “Allah” while Aramaic word for God is “Alah”. Since Jesus spoke Aramaic, he referred to the Lord with the name “Alah”. This word is spelled alap-lamad-heh (A L H), which are the exact correspondent letters to the Hebrew word for God found in Genesis, which is “Eloh”. “Elohim” is the plural form, but the “im” in Hebrew is used for respect, so “Elohim” does not indicate the plurality of God. So “Allah” is exactly the same as “Alah” and “Eloh”.

---> Prayer: In Arabic, prayer is called “Salah” while in Aramaic, it is called “Salee”. Both mean the same thing: ‘to pray’. Worshiping God has been one of the most basic teachings of all prophets. God says in the Qur'an: "Observe the Salah for it prohibits evil and vice." [Qur'an 29:45]

Let’s see what the Bible has to say about praying in Genesis 20:17:

Aramaic: Wa ‘salee’ Abraham qadam Allaha.
Translation: And Abraham ‘prayed’ to God (Allah).

---> Greeting: Jesus greeted in the same manner as Muslims do. He greeted saying 'Shalom alay kum' (Luke; 24:36). The Islamic greeting in Arabic is "Asalamu alay kum." The meaning of both these greetings is “Peace be on you.” Shalom means peace, just as in Arabic, Salam means peace. The manner in which Jesus greeted and in which Muslims greet is the same, again indicating that all prophets followed the same religion, and the same way of life.

Those were they unto whom Allah bestowed His Grace from among the Prophets, of the offspring of Adam, and of those whom We carried (in the ship) with Nooh (Noah), and of the offspring of Ibrahim (Abraham) and Israel and from among those whom We guided and chose. When the Verses of the Most Beneficent (Allah) were recited unto them, they fell down prostrating and weeping. (Quran 19:58)

  Of course Muhammad said in his Qu'ran to serve one God.. he was doing his best to get all religions to come to the supreme moon god... but the jews and Christians knew what he was doing! Everybody ask him to prove himself as a prophet and he could NOT... he even said he could not in the Qu'ran.. .yet in the Torah... which even the Qur'an says is the true word of God... every prophet called by God is followed by miracles to prove they are of the one and only true God...
  
  I also agree... Jesus did say "Alah"... it was his language... but "Allah" was the moon god... go look at the history books... and "Allah" was the supreme moon god that Muhammad's dad worshipped too... and they prayed five times a day facing Meccah to the moon god... seems very similar to Islamic to me... Muhammad knew what he was doing... look at how many people he deceived! But he had help... that angel in the cave was not an angel.. it was satan.. he was very deceptive! This is why Muhammad foamed at the mouth after his "visits"... go read some more of the history.

  First of all, Quran is not the word of Muhammad (PBUH), its the word of God.
  
  2ndly, where does Muhammad (PBUH) said in the Quran that he can't prove himself as a prophet?
  
  3rd, I told you earlier that performing miracles is not an ultimate criteria to judge one's prophet-hood. Even Jesus (PBUH) performed miracles by the power of God, not by his own power. He was powerless without the help of God.
  
  4th, Thanks libby for agreeing that he called God 'Alah'. I thought you would even reject this and laugh on me but thanks anyway.
  
  Funny, after confessing that Jesus called God Alah but it is moon God, does that imply that Jesus was worshiping the moon God, Alah?
  
  5th, we pray 5 times a day facing Makkah, but its only a direction, not that God is himself present there. He is above in the Heaven. Before Makkah, Muslims used to pray facing Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem. But verses revealed during the prayer and prophet (PBUH) changed his direction to Makkah.
  
  6th, If the angel (Angel Gabriel), who with the permission of God, used to reveal the Quranic verses to Muhammad (PBUH) during 23 years in the cave of Hira, was Satan then why 113 chapters out of total 114 chapters of the Quran starts with:
  
  "I take refuge of Allah from Satan the rejeted"
  
  How can Satan ask a Muslim to take refuge from HIMSELF while reading HIS own book ??
  
  In fact, its the Biblical God who is actually Satan, Bible says so...
  
  Who incited David to count the fighting men of Israel?
  
  "Now again the anger of the Lord burned against Israel, and it incited David against them to say, "Go, number Israel and Judah." (2 Samuel 24:1)
  
  "Then Satan stood up against Israel and moved David to number Israel." (1 Chronicles 21:1)
  
  Now libby adress all these points one by one with proofs and don't beat around the bush.

  In this verse 17:93, Muhammad makes an unequivocal admission that he had no miracles. It happened when the Arabs asked him to demonstrate for them one of a list of miracles they listed for him in this and the three preceding verses. His answer was clear and indisputable: I don’t have a miracle; I am only a human.
  
  Verse 20:133
  
  “They say: “Why does he not bring us a sign from his Lord?” Has not a Clear Sign come to them of all that was in the former Books of revelation?”
  
  Verse 17:59
  
  “And We refrain from sending the signs, only because the men of former generations treated them as false: We sent the she-camel to the Thamud to open their eyes, but they treated her wrongfully: We only send the Signs by way of terror.”
  
  Verse 20:133
  
  “They say: “Why does he not bring us a sign from his Lord?” Has not a Clear Sign come to them of all that was in the former Books of revelation?”
  
  Verse 29:50
  
  They say: “Why are not Signs sent down to him from his Lord?” Say: “The signs are indeed with Allah and I am indeed a clear Warner.”
  
  Verse 6:37
  
  “They say: “Why is not a sign sent down to him from his Lord?” Say: “(Allah) hath certainly power to send down a sign: but most of them understand not”
  
  Verse 13: 7.
  
  “And the Unbelievers say: “Why is not a sign sent down to him from his Lord?” But thou art truly a warner, and to every people a guide”
  
  Verse 20:133
  
  “They say: “Why does he not bring us a sign from his Lord?” Has not a Clear Sign come to them of all that was in the former Books of revelation?”
  
  There's many more...but I think this gets the point... his people kept asking why he could perform no miracles and he kept saying he was simply a warrior!
  
  Jesus taught that even satan can cast out demons.. .and that satan can come as an angel of light! Satan is very deceptive! So it makes perfect sense to me that he would say things to mislead someone!
  
  Mathew 6:6,
  "But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you"
  
  Mathew 6:9
  Jesus said to pray like this: Pray then like this: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name..."

  LOL libby you are 100% right, you have made Muslims point MORE stronger. Muhammad (PBUH) was indeed a human and yes he clearly said that Miracles are with God and he is only a clear warner. This is EXACTLY EXACTLY EXACRLY what Jesus (PBUH) said in the Bible:
  
  "Ye men of Israel hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know." (Acts 2:22)
  
  "I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me". (John 5:30)
  
  "…I cast out devils by the Spirit of God…."(Mathew 12:28)
  
  "…I with the finger of God cast out devils…." (Luke 11:20)
  
  libby, the message of Jesus (PBUH) for people who thinks like you, is very clear:
  
  "Not everyone who says to me, ’Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ’Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles? Then I will tell them plainly, ’I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’" (Matthew 7:21-23).

  Wow---so now you agree God is his Father and he is his son!
  
  I agree, not everyone will enter heaven who thinks they are doing right...
  
  Why do you persist in trying to debunk someone elses religion? Is your religion that shallow that it must put down others?
  
  Let me give you some advise: Worry about your own religion and stop quoting Biblical verses in a cowardly attempt to put down another's religon so it makes your own seem more logical! Let it stand on its own! Be peaceful and stop the nonsense! How about that?

  Thanks for your advise. I don't need to worry about my religion, its the fastest growing religion in the world. I know its the TRUTH and if you want to discuss about my religion, you are MOST MOST welcome.

  Yes I will be sure and hold my breath! It's funny how you must try and find the word "Muhammad" in the bible! I'm sorry but I have read the Bible many, many times and no where is the word Muhammad, neither in Enlgish, Hebrew, nor Arabic!
  
  It was funny when you tried to push him into the Songs of Solomon, which everyone knows the entire songs are between lovers... and there are some who believe it is Jesus that it speaks of... read the entire thing and it's clear!
  
  I've already read the Qu'ran many, many times as well! And I'm not impressed! I find it sad! I wont go any further with that, because I don't think God appreciates this nonsense! What does it help?

The Israelites and the Muslims are cousins. The line of Esau and Jacob (brothers). From Jacob came the Israelites and Esau by marrying into the descendants of Abraham son Ishmael (the son of the African, Egyptian slave girl). Ishmael was the nation of Muslims and Esau married into that Nation,which is why the Jews and the Muslims have such similarities with eating habits, belief and prayer. We are cousins!

  Holding firmly onto this belief, Prophet Nuh (peace and blessings be upon him) said, as quoted in the Qur’an, (But if ye turn back, (consider): no reward have I asked of you: my reward is only due from Allah, and I have been commanded to be of those who submit to Allah's will (in Islam)) (Yunus 10: 72).
  
  (When his Lord said to him, Be a Muslim, he said: I submit myself to the Lord of the Worlds. And the same did Ibrahim enjoin on his sons and (so did) Ya`qub. O my sons! surely Allah has chosen for you (this) faith, therefore die not unless you are Muslims) (Al-Baqarah 2: 131-32).
  
  The enchanters in the story of Prophet Musa and the Pharaoh, likewise said, according to the Qur’an, (But thou dost wreak thy vengeance on us simply because we believed in the Signs of our Lord when they reached us. Our Lord, pour out on us patience and constancy, and take our souls unto Thee as Muslims (who bow to Thy will)) (Al-A`raf 7: 126).
  
  Consider also what Prophet Sulaiman wrote to the Queen of Sheba (Bilqis) according to the Qur'an, starting his message to her in the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful: (Be ye not arrogant against me, but come to me in submission (to the true religion) [Muslims]) (An-Naml 27: 31)
  
  Based on the above, Islam is the religion of all prophets; all of them called for what Islam calls for and declared belief in Islam. Thus, the message of Islam, which Almighty Allah sent with Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is the seal of the religions, or, to be more precise, the messages of all previous prophets of Almighty Allah. It completes what was missing in these messages and rectifies the distortions, additions, and the like, that befell them. That is why Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “I have been sent (as a messenger from Almighty Allah) so that I perfect the noble ethics.”
  
  So the message of Islam was revealed to confirm whatever Scripture was before it and to verify it, as Almighty Allah addresses Prophet Muhammad: (And unto thee have We revealed the Scripture with the truth, confirming whatever Scripture was before it, and a watcher over it) (Al-Ma’idah 5: 48).

Whatever you call first Muslim or believer, was Adam father of mankind. In the Quran first Muslim is Prophet Mohammad, this is the proof: Say: "Verily, my Lord hath guided me to a way that is straight, - a religion of right, - the path (trod) by Abraham the true in Faith, and he (certainly) joined not gods with Allah." Say: "Truly, my prayer and my service of sacrifice, my life and my death, are (all) for Allah, the Cherisher of the Worlds: No partner hath He: this am I commanded, and I am the first of those who bow to His will.”(6:161-163)
One of those verses states that Prophet Mohammad is following the path of Abraham and also the last verse states that he is the first Muslim. One of the meanings of Islam is submission to the God. Some people said in this forum that Abraham was father of Muslim, Jewish, and Christians, That is not right but he was father of Jewish and Arab.

The term "Muslim" started after the advent of Muhammad; those who among other things belived Muhammad as a truthful Messenger Prophet of the Creator-God Allah YHWH are called Muslims. The word "Muslim" however existed in Arabic before the advent of Muhammad and meant one who submits to the Truth and is peaceful; in this sense Abraham and other Messengers Prophets including Moses and Jesus are Muslims.

Do you mean first in status or first in time?

The former (first in status) is Muhammad; the Seal of the Prophets and Messengers.

The first in time who submitted to the Creator-God is Adam who first to have Converse with the Creator-God.
