The answer

The word "Islam" refers to submission to Allah, affirming His Oneness, and following revelation. This is common to all followers of the Prophets, with some differences in legislation. The message of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) abrogates what preceded it, and no other message is accepted after his prophethood. All humans must believe in him, support him, and follow him. Therefore, it is permissible to say that Islam came fourteen centuries ago, based on the date of the Prophet's (peace be upon him) prophethood and death.
