The Top Ten
1 Muhammad (Islam) Muhammad ibn Abdullah (570 AD - 632 AD) was an Arab religious, social, and political leader and the founder of the world religion of Islam. According to Islamic doctrine, he was a prophet, divinely inspired to preach and confirm the monotheistic teachings of Adam, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and other prophets. He is believed to be the Seal of the Prophets within Islam. Muhammad united Arabia into a single Muslim polity, with the Quran as well as his teachings and practices forming the basis of Islamic religious belief.

Your primary and biggest mistake is you call Muhammad PBUH as the 'founder'of Islam which is gravely incorrect. He was the last Prophet 9f Islam sent by Allah swt and the first human on earth is Ht. Adam PBUH. How does he become the founder?
