There was no Islam before Mohammed. It was his 'dreams' that began it.
You are Correct!
I didn't "Clarify" that exactly correctly did I?
Arab communities used the Torah but concentrated on a limited portion but exclusively on the Books of Moses, Noah, & Enoch. They were rather selective and did overlook portions of the fore mentioned books when it suited their view of the Jews. They also selected other portions out of the Torah when it suited their (version) of their reality.
I should have more inclusive in what I meant when I specified "Early" as it should have been "Pre" Islamic text.
My Humble Appologies.........
