Detailed explanation-1: -The word “Islam” means “submission to the will of God.” Followers of Islam are called Muslims. Muslims are monotheistic and worship one, all-knowing God, who in Arabic is known as Allah. Followers of Islam aim to live a life of complete submission to Allah.
Detailed explanation-2: -Linguistically, Islam means “submission to God", referring to the total surrender of one’s self to God (Arabic: , Allāh), and a Muslim is “one who submits to God". Muslims believe that God revealed the Qur’an to Muhammad while he existed, and that Muhammad is God’s final prophet.
Detailed explanation-3: -As a religion, Islam stands for complete submission and obedience to Allah-that is why it is called Islam. The other literal meaning of the word “Islam” is “peace.” This signifies that one can achieve real peace of body and of mind only through submission and obedience to Allah.
Detailed explanation-4: -The ordinary word in English is “Muslim". In the 20th century the preferred spelling in English was “Moslem", but this has now fallen into disuse. The word Mosalman (Persian: , alternatively Mussalman) is a common equivalent for Muslim used in Central and South Asia.
