Like so many prophets before him, Muhammad never claimed to have invented a new religion. By his own admission, Muhammad's message was an attempt to reform the existing religious beliefs and cultural practices of pre-Islamic Arabia so as to bring the God of the Jews and Christians to the Arab peoples. "{God} has established for you {the Arabs} the same religion enjoined on Noah, on Abraham, on Moses, and on Jesus," the Quran says {42:13}.
