Why Is Jesus Believed As A Prophet In Islam?

Muslims define islam as "submission to the will of Allah. They also define a muslim as one who submits to the will of Allah.

Even though the Qur'an claims that all prophets were muslims because of the definition it gave to islam, none of those prophets was told by Yahweh that his religion was islam and that he was a muslim, neither did the prophets themselves ever acknowledged they were muslims. This goes to prove that there was no islam before Muhammad, otherwise all prophets, Jesus and the Apostles would have mentioned it or why would they be called muslims without their knowledge and after they had gone?

Is the definitions of islam and muslim not coined to include all those who believe in God?

Is it not an attempt to make believe that Allah, Muhammad's and muslims' god is also the God of prophets in Israel by calling them muslims?

Why would the Quran call Moses, a Jew who led the Jews away from Egypt a muslim?

Do you still call today's Jews muslims as they still believe what they believed at the time of Moses?

At the time Moses was the leader of the Jews, Kaaba and the Arabs were already in existence and the worship of Allah was ongoing by pagans and doing all the rituals, which muslims adopted as islamic worship till today. There is no doubt in the fact that Moses and the Jews were on their journey to Canan under the guide of Yahweh and they didn't recognize those rituals that was ongoing in Mecca.

This shows Allah was being worshipped differently in Mecca when Yahweh was dealing with the Israelites differently on their way to the promised land, Canaan. The big question is: At what point in history did Yahweh and Allah became the same Being? Or at what point did Yahweh adopt Islamic rituals as his own rituals?

Doesn't the fact that the Jews under Moses didn't take part in islamic rituals in Mecca show they were not muslims by Islamic standard?

Why would Yahweh not enjoin islamic rituals on the Israelites if he is the same Allah of the muslims?

Moses, David, Solomon, Elijah, John, Jesus etc are all Jews and they adhere to Jewish laws, practices and culture, any other Muslims can come and argue. I don't need to waste my precious time arguing this.

Lol at guy above me. Only albhagdadi thinks Allah is a different being from the Almighty God whom Jesus and Moses referred to whenever they prayed.
OP you could have just itemized your questions to make them easier.
Anyway let attempt to your "questions"
1. Muslims believe Jesus was a prophet and a good servant of the Almighty God just like Moses, Ibrahim, Noah, Zachriah and million other sent to caution and guide their people to worship the ONLY ONE TRUE GOD WHO created them and never to associate any partner with Him.
This we believe because we are told so in the Glorious Qur'an.
You don't have to believe us, but we do anyway.

You should have known the words Islam and Muslim are basically Arabic words and words can have equivalents in another language, the main thing is that they should refer to the same thing. For example the Jesus in the topic was never called that in his life time. It is a mere corrupted translation of his original name. So does that mean Christians aren't referring to Isah (AS) when ever they say Jesus?

The nomenclature of the true religion is less important than the commandments of the religion, that is why Moses emphasized the importance of the ten commandments.
You can be a Muslim without even ever hearing of the words Islam, Muslim, Allah or Muhammad (SAW).
This is because Allah (SWT) only judges you by what is contained in your mind not what you say or do.
There is a passage in the Quran where Abraham (AS) was wondering WHO is really his creator. He knew it couldn't be any of those idols that his people were worshipping. He looked at the sun and moon and the stars and wondered whether they could his God. But he realized each of them has a shortcoming that they all disappear after sometime.
He then prayed and asked WHOEVER IT IS THAT CREATED HIM, and certainly deserve his worship to reveal Himself to him so that he may not go astray and begin to worship that which is inappropriate.
At the end God Almighty revealed and guided Abraham and even sent him to call his people to the right path.
There is a similar incidence with one of the Pharoah's wives, who truly believed there's a Supreme being above all who ALONE deserves to be worshiped. And she was also guided to the right path and saved.
From Adam (AS) to the last human on earth whoever believes in the oneness of Almighty God, His supreme right to be worshiped as the creator and sustainer of the universe, and believes in his sent messengers and their message is basically a Muslim and the only candidate qualified to make heaven.

Nobody is answering the questions in the OP.

Yahweh was dealing with the Israelite differently even at the time of Abraham as there is no record of Israelites coming to Mecca to perform islamic rituals. At what time did Yahweh approve islamic worship for the Israelites?

Why would anybody think Abraham established Kaaba for the Arabs and God established Jewish religion for the Israelites at the same time?
