Was Mohammed the first Muslim?

It says in the Qu’ran that Muhammad was the first Muslim. Let’s say that he was indeed the first Muslim, it means the people who Islam regards as the “prophets of Islam” Abraham, Enoch, David, Jesus, Noah etc could not have been Muslims because Muhammad received his ‘revelation’ in 6AD. Oops!

Qu’ran 6:161-163. Say, “Indeed, my Lord has guided me to a straight path - a correct religion - the way of Abraham, inclining toward truth. And he was not among those who associated others with Allah.”

Say, "Indeed, my prayer, my rites of sacrifice, my living and my dying are for Allah, Lord of the worlds.

No partner has He. And this I have been commanded, and I am the first [among you] of the Muslims."

Who can utter better words than one who invites to GOD, works righteousness, and says, “I am one of the submitters”?
Quran (41:33)

The word ‘Submitter’ is the english equivalent of the Arabic word ‘Muslim’. The true meaning of this word is profound and has been greatly misunderstood. A submitter is defined as a person who submits to the will of God. The state of submission is a very personal relationship that takes place between an individual and almighty God and is the only acceptable form of worship by God. Therefore a ‘Submitter’ is not just the name of a person following a specific religion rather it describes one’s absolute devotion to God alone.
Anyone can be a submitter when one recognizes God’s absolute authority and reaches a conviction that only God possesses all power and no other entity possesses power independent of God. The natural result of such a realization is to devote one’s life and worship absolutely to God alone.
Where’s the reference in the Quran that all prophets were Muslims?
“The Prophet (Muhammad) believes in what has been sent down to him from his Lord, and (so do) the believers. Each one believes in God, His Angels, His Books, and His prophets. (They say,) ‘We make no distinction between one another of His prophets…’”
(Quran 2:285)

“And ask (O Muhammad) those of Our prophets whom We sent before you: ‘Did We ever appoint gods to be worshipped besides the Most Merciful (God)?’”
(Quran 43:45)

“And, indeed We have sent prophets before you (O Muhammad), of some of them We have related to you their story, and of some We have not related to you their story…”
(Quran 40:78)

“And We did not send any Messenger before you (O Muhammad) but We revealed to him (saying): ‘none has the right to be worshipped but I, so worship Me.’”
(Quran 21:25)

You shall strive for the cause of God as you should strive for His cause. He has chosen you and has placed no hardship on you in practicing your religion - the religion of your father Abraham. He is the one who named you “Submitters” originally.
[Quran 22:78]

Abraham was neither Jewish , nor Christian; he was a monotheist; a Muslim; he never was an idol-worshiper. The people most worthy of following Abraham are those who follow him and this prophet (Muhammed), and those who believed. God is the Lord of the believers.
[Quran 3:67-68]

Then we inspired you (O Muhammed) to follow the religion of Abraham, monotheism; never was he an idol-worshiper.
[Quran 16:123]

Say, “We have believed in God and in what was revealed to us and what was revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and the Descendants, and in what was given to Moses and Jesus and to the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and we are Muslims [submitting] to Him.”
[Quran 3:84]

In other words, the definition of Muslim is fluid and every human being is born a Muslim? That’s what Muhammad claimed……In Christianity, Psalms 51:5 says, “Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.” Because each child was born with the original sin in them, everyone needs a Savior (Jesus). Not even a one day old baby is considered sin free. It’s the opposite in Islam. What is the purpose of an Islamic conversion if you were always a Muslim?

Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah’s Apostle said, “Every child is born with a true faith of Islam but his parents convert him to Judaism, Christianity or Magianism, as an animal delivers a perfect baby animal. Do you find it mutilated?” Then Abu Huraira recited the holy verses: “The pure Allah’s Islamic nature with which He has created human beings. No change let there be in the religion of Allah. That is the straight religion but most of men know, not.” (30.30) (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 2, Book 23, Number 441).

Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, “Every child is born with a true faith of Islam and his parents convert him to Judaism or Christianity or Magianism, as an animal delivers a perfect baby animal. Do you find it mutilated?” (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 2, Book 23, Number 467)

One other thing……In order to become a Muslim you must say the following words out loud (as a confession). The shahada says: “There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his prophet.” You claim that becoming a Muslim is about submitting, but that’s not the whole story. Abraham, Moses, Noah even Jesus never once recited the shahada. I think this is one of the greatest inconsistencies of Islam, but there are many more….

5

Saying the Shahaadah is an essential condition of entering Islam, but whoever is born Muslim does not have to utter the Shahaadah because he is judged to be a Muslim,all prophets were born as believers

6

The Qu’ran says that everyone was born Muslim.

If every human being was Muslim from birth, then kaffirs don’t exist (by definition), but we find that they do………

How?

I am afraid you are one of these people describe in these verses
“Allah has set a seal on their hearts and on their hearing; and on their eyes there is a covering, and for them awaits a mighty punishment.”

“And even if We had sent down to them the angels [with the message] and the dead spoke to them [of it] and We gathered together every [created] thing in front of them, they would not believe unless Allāh should will. But most of them, [of that], are ignorant.”

Wht is meant by fitrah is the religion of Islam, as stated in the hadeeth narrated by Muslim from the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), who said: “Allaah said: ‘I created My slaves as haneefs (believers in pure monotheism), then the Shaytaan misled them from their religion; he forbade them what I had permitted to them and commanded them to associate others with Me for which I had not sent down any authority.’” What it means when it is said that a child is born as a Muslim is that he is born inherently ready, when he reaches the age of discretion, if he is given the choice between Islam and its opposite, to prefer Islam over its opposite and to choose Islam as his religion, so long as there is nothing to prevent him from doing so, such as his whims and desires or tribalism. Following his desires makes him prefer falsehood so that he may attain some share of leadership or wealth, and tribalism or racial pride makes him follow his forefathers or elders, even if they are not following true guidance. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
