The Arabic word Islam literally means ‘surrender’ or ‘submission.’
Islam, as a faith, means total and sincere surrender to God so that one
can live in peace and tranquility. Peace (Salam in Arabic, Shalom in
Hebrew) is achieved through active obedience to the revealed
commandments of God, for God is The Just, The Peace. The name Islam is
universal in meaning. Islam is not named after a tribe of people or an
individual, as Judaism is named after the tribe of Judah, Christianity
after Christ and Buddhism after Buddha. Islam is not a name chosen by
human beings; it was divinely communicated from God. Islam is a global
faith, not of the East or the West. Islam is a complete way of life,
implying total submission to God. One who surrenders his or her will to
God, voluntarily, is called a Muslim. It was not Muhammad (SAW) but Adam
(S.A) who first brought Islam to humanity. Then, each Prophet and
Messenger came to exhort the people to a clear understanding of God’s
commandments. They offered teachings relevant to that time, until God
chose the final Prophet, Muhammad (SAW), to come with the Last Testament
referred to as the Qur’an. Allah is an Arabic word, meaning ‘The One
and Only True Deity’, the proper name of The One who created the heavens
and the earth. Arabic-speaking Jews and Christians also call God by the
name Allah. For a Muslim, Allah is the greatest and most inclusive of
names for God, denoting The One who is adored in worship, The One who
created all that exists.
