What does Islam mean?
The Arabic word ' Islam' simply means ' submission' and derives from a word meaning ' peace'. In a religious context it means complete submission to the will of God. Islam teaches that one can only find peace in one's life by submitting to Almighty God (Allah) in heart, soul and deed. The most important truth that God revealed to mankind is that there is nothing divine or worthy of being worshipped except for Almighty God ( Allah ), thus all human beings should submit to Him.
