The word "Islam"
The name of this religion is Islam, which is the root of "Silm" and
"Salam" which means peace.
Salam may also mean greeting one another with peace. One of the beautiful names
of Allah is that He is the "Peace". It means more than that: submission to the
One Allah, and to live in peace with the Creator, within one's self, with other
people and with the environment. Thus, Islam is a total system of living.
A Muslim is supposed to live in peace and harmony with all these segments;
hence, a Muslim is any person anywhere in the world whose obedience, allegiance,
and loyalty are to Allah, the Lord of the Universe.
