There are two things that need to be highlighted here:
1 Islaam was always there. Every prophet was a Muslim so Islaam didn't start roughly 1400 years ago
2 one is not a muslim since his birth. Our souls already existed long before Adam as walked the Earth. There is this "Qalu Balaa" event that took place where Allah gathered every souls and asked us:"Am I not your Lord?" and we responded with "No you are!". We are considered muslims since that event....long before Adam as was send down.
 
Asalam alaykum

Being awwal al-Muslimeen or Awwal al-Mumineen means to be Muslim/Mumin when no one else is. To believe when no one else around you believes and to submit and obey Allah even when no one else around you submits to or obeys Allah.

In this sense we are all commanded to be the first of the believers even if those around you are not believing in nor following the message. Not to wait around for the herd to follow the Truth before you do. In this we have countless examples from the Prophets of Allah (May Allah 'Azza wa Jal send His Peace and Blessings Upon them All).

Allahu 'Alim
