Where Was Islam Founded?

Islam as a religion started in Arabia under the guidance of Muhammad in the seventh century. Muhammad performed the unification of several tribes of Arabia as per Islamic law and guidelines. However, following Muhammad's death in 632, there arose a period of uncertainty as to who would be the successor to Muhammad as the leader of the Muslim community. Abu Bakr arose as the leader after much conflict, and was made the first caliph of the Islamic community.

Today Islam ranks secondly in the world, in terms of a religion having the most followers (approximately 1.4 billion followers), coming after the religion of Christianity. Its adherents are called as Muslims, and they believe in Muhammad as the God's final prophet and the Quran as their holy book.

As of today, Muslims are found all over the world, the prominence of Islam being noted in countries such as Pakistan, Afghanistan, Egypt, Yemen, Kuwait etc.

I think Islam was founded when Almighty Allah created the souls of all those people that are bound to be born from the very beginning of history till the day of judgement.
Then Almighty ALLAH asked all of them.
