Who is the Prophet who founded Islam?

• A. Moses
• B. Mohammed
• C. Jesus
• D. Abraham

Answer: (B)

The main idea is recognizing who established Islam as a distinct faith with its own revealed scripture and community. The Prophet Muhammad is considered the messenger who received the Qur’an and, over about two decades in Mecca and Medina, organized the early Muslim community and codified its worship, laws, and practices. This is why he is spoken of as the one who founded Islam in the sense of founding its organized religion and final, complete revelation.

Moses, Jesus, and Abraham are highly revered prophets within Islam and were instrumental in guiding people toward monotheism, but they did not establish Islam as a distinct organized faith with a revealed book and a defined community in the way Muhammad did.
