In the name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful.

And remember your Lord within yourself 
In humility and in fear
Without being apparent in speech,
In the mornings and the evenings 
And do not be among the heedless.
The Koran: Chapter 7, Verse 205.

.

The correct spelling is "Moslem," in Arabic it is pronounced with a hard "s" whereas in written English when a single "s" turns up in the middle of a word it is pronounced "z," thus the Arabs say Mosslem which in spoken English is pronounced Mozlem. The term predates Islam and was used to describe those who have surrendered to the will of the Almighty in the days of Prophet Abraham, which similarly predate the Jewish religion.

Old Testament is not Judaism though.

Judaism was formed when the Judeans were sent into exile in Babylon, where they picked up Babylonian religious aspects and maintained them as an oral tradition until finally being written down as the Talmud centuries later. In this way, what we know as Judaism is younger than Christianity.

Also, it is of note that Moses was not a Jew, and that it would not be possible for anyone to even be called anything like a Jew until generations later, when Jacob-Israel's son Judah had sons (trivia: Hebrews were patrilineal, while modern Jews are matrilineal); a biblical Hebrew and a modern-day Jew are not really related.
