The pronunciation of a surname can vary between several different pronunciations!. Think of the way tomato is pronounced!. Personally unless told different I would pronounce this name with soft vowels and three syllables!. A web site called "name lab" says:

Muslim: from an Arabic name denoting a follower of Mūsā al-Kāzim (died 1183), the seventh imam of the Shiite Muslims, who is revered as a saint!. Kāzim means ‘one who controls his anger’!.
