Many of my relatives told me that prophet muhammad told the people to offer salah . But , I wonder if Jesus , Noah, Abraham, Adam didn't they read Salah , the must have done it then why do we say Prophet Muhammad is the founder of Salah and as well as the founder of Islam ?

    What is your source — other than your family — that Muslims say that the Prophet ﷺ was the founder of Islam or the founder of the prayers? This is not the Islamic belief at all. – III-AK-III Apr 16 '18 at 21:54

Salah was already enjoined on Musa and 'Isa along with the Children of Israel. Muhammad told people to offer salah according to the timings and method that was enjoined upon him.

لِكُلٍّ جَعَلْنَا مِنكُمْ شِرْعَةً وَمِنْهَاجًا

To each of you We prescribed a law and a method.
