The word “Islam” is an Arabic word that means “submitting and surrendering your will to Almighty God (Allah)”. The word comes from the same root as the Arabic word “salam”, which means peace. The name for the religion of Islam was both revealed by Allah and carries a deep spiritual meaning – only by submitting one’s will to Allah can one obtain true peace both in this life and in the life hereafter. Islam teaches that all divinely revealed religions originally had the same essential message – which was to submit whole-heartedly to the will of Allah and to worship Him and Him alone. For this reason, Islam is not a new religion but is the same divinely revealed Truth that Allah revealed to all prophets, including Noah, Abraham, Moses and Jesus (May Allah’s peace and blessing be upon them all).
