...building civilization? Muslims always say that they are the first who brought civilization to Earth. They believe that the World before them was a barbarian planet with no moral rules controlling it. But the fact is that many civilizations came before and after Islam. Each including Islam has contributed in building our present modern global civilization. Why don't Muslims recognize the great civilizations of the Romans, Greeks, Mayans, Indians, Nubian, Egyptian, Aztec, Etruscan, Persian, Chinese etc... Why do they always claim to be the first to do everything? Why don't you accept our modern civilization?
Sorry, but was Spartacus a Muslim? Was Alexander a Muslim? Was Buddha a Muslim? was Virgin Marry a Muslim (Don't lie to your selves)? Didn't Muhammad had two sex-slaves (i.e. Jawari)?
 
OK here is the Muslim perceptive,

Muslims regard as prophets of Islam (Arabic: نبي‎) those non-divine humans chosen by Allah (the standard Arabic-language word for "the God") as prophets. Each prophet brought the same basic ideas of Islam, including belief in a single God and the avoidance of idolatry and sin. Each came to preach Islam and told of the coming of the final law-bearing prophet and messenger of God: Muhammad. Each prophet directed a message to a different group and each prophet taught minor variations in Sharia (or the practice of religion) to a different target-audience. These variations constitute applications of Islam: mainstream Muslims do not consider them discrete versions of Islam.

Islamic tradition holds that God sent messengers to every nation. Muslims believe that God sent only Muhammad to convey the divine message to the whole world, whereas he sent other messengers (rasuls) to convey their messages to a specific group of people or to a single nation.

Unlike Judaism and Christianity, Islam distinguishes between a direct messenger of God (rasul) and a prophet (nabi). Both function as divinely inspired recipients of God's revelation. However, in addition, rasuls receive a divine message or revelation for a community in book form. Thus the rasul category forms a subset of the nabi category.

Muslims regard Adam as the first prophet and Muhammad as the last prophet; hence Muhammad's title Seal of the Prophets. Islam regards Jesus as a rasul (and sometimes as a nabi) because he received wahi (revelation) from God, through which God revealed the Injil (Gospel) to him.[1] Muslims believe that God has sent over 124,000 prophets all over the world, as mentioned in the Sahih Hadith
