************************************************************************
This is the reality of Islam. Starting from our Father, the blessed Prophet Adam Alaihis Salam who was created by Allahu Rabbul Alamin, Our Supreme Lord of the Universes in the highest Heavens above from earth taken from all parts of the world by the strongest Malaikat @ Angel, Sayyidina Izra'il Alaihis Salam.
Formed and fashioned by Allah Himself, given the Attributes and Knowledge by Allah the Most Merciful. Knowledge that was not given even to the Malaikats themselves.
In Surah Al Baqarah Chapter 2 Verse 30 in the Holy Qur'an, Allah the Almighty reveals:

Wa-ith qala rabbuka lilmala-ikati innee jaa ilun fee al-ardi khaleefatan Qaloo ataj aalu feeha man yufsidu feeha wayas fikud dimaa wanahnu nusabbihu bihamdika wanuqad disu laka qala innee aa'lamu ma la taa' lamoonSahih International
And [mention, O Muhammad], when your Lord said to the angels, "Indeed, I will make upon the earth a successive authority." They said, "Will You place upon it one who causes corruption therein and sheds blood, while we declare Your praise and sanctify You?" Allah said, "Indeed, I know that which you do not know."When Allah the Almighty shared with His Angels about His Plan to create Mankind in the form of Our Father Adam Alaihis Salam, the Angels queried as to why Allah would want to place upon this Earth, one @ Our Father the Prophet Adam (Peace be upon him) and through Adam, those of us ( the Children of Adam) who would cause corruption [destruction] there in {here on Earth} and shed blood [which has already come to be true - wanton killing and destruction all over the world ever since Adam set foot upon this Earth whilst they @ Allah's Angels continue to glorify, praise and sanctify Him up in the Heavens above!
Allah the Almighty then reminds them that He Knows that which they do not know. Allah then reveals about His Sharing of Knowledge to Adam whilst they are not privy to such 'Ilm.
Transliteration
Wa aallama Adama al-asmaa kullaha thumma- Aaradahum aala al mala-ikati faqala anbi-oonee bi-asma-i haola-iin kuntum saadiqeenSahih International
And He taught Adam the names - all of them. Then He showed them to the angels and said, "Inform Me of the names of these, if you are truthful."From the Qur'anic revelation above, Allah the Almighty shares with us, our Father Adam's history. How Adam's creation was not favored by the Malaikats, Allah's Angels because we @ Adam's progeny are created by Allah having the power to choose whilst they don't.
All that the Angels do are to hear and to obey Allah without question. We who are the Children of Adam are however given the options to choose. The Freedom to either submit to Allah and earn Salvation or follow our base desires and answer for our sins later in the Hellfire.
Professor Moshe Sharon is correct when he says that as far as he has studied and researched about Islamic History all through his life, he has discovered that all of Allah's prophets and messengers were Muslim!
