Who is the first Muslim? In the Verses, it is used both for Abraham (pbuh) and Muhammad (pbuh).

Dear Brother / Sister,

The term Islam is the common name of all the True paths from Adam (pbuh) to Muhammad (pbuh), because the word Islam means submission to Allah and obeying His laws. It is also the main purpose of religions.
Furthermore, the term Islam, as a word derived from the root “Silm”, which means guaranty to the peace and wealth of individuals and societies. It is also the common feature of the True Religions. 
-When the issue is examined from that point of view, there is no doubt that each prophet is the first Muslim of his time. Abraham (pbuh) was the first Muslim of his time and Muhammad (pbuh) was also the first Muslim of his time.
“Say: I was commanded to be the first to submit to Him. (Namely I was commanded to be the first to obey His rules).” (Al-An’am –the Cattle-, 6/14)
In the Ayah above, Muhammad (pbuh) was commanded to be the first to submit and obey Allah’s rules before everybody.

It is clear enough from the explanations above that there is no conflict between the statements of two Ayahs.
