Mohammed recieved the Quran from Allah through the Angel Gabriel, so he founded Islam. Hence Islam is a 'revealed' religion, like Christianity & Judaism. The difference between them & a Tolkienien religion is that those faiths make a clear claim that their teachings come from God, & thus
must be True. If Moses, Jesus & Mohammed had just said 'This is what I
believe God revealed to me, what do you think?' there would probably have been a lot less blood shed by their followers over the centuries.
