Islam is the name of the religion, or more properly the ‘way of life’, which Go
(Allah) has revealed and which was practiced by all of the Prophets and Messengers of
Allah that He sent to mankind. Even the name stands out unique among other religions in
that it means a state of being; it does not refer to any particular person, such as Christianity,
Buddhism or Zoroastrianism; a tribe like Judaism; or a nation like Hinduism. The root Arabic
word from which Islam is derived implies peace, safety, salutation, protection, blamelessness
,
wholesomeness, submission, acceptance, surrender, and salvation. Islam specifically means
being in the state of submission to Allah, worshiping Him Alone, and reverently accepting
and obeying His Law. Through this submission, the peace, security, and wholesome well-
being implied in its literal meaning is achieved. Hence, a Muslim or Muslimah is a person
(male or female) in that state of submission. A person’s Islam weakens through sins,
ignorance, and wrong-doing, and becomes nullified in totality by associating partners with
Allah or disbelieving in Him.
