What is
Islaam?
The word "Islaam" is an Arabic
word that means "submitting and
surrendering your will to Almighty
God".
The word comes from the same root
as the Arabic word "salam", which means
peace.
Unlike the names used for other
religions, such as Buddhism, Hinduism and
Christianity, the name for the religion of
Islaam was both revealed by God and carries
a deep spritual meaning - only by
submitting one's will to Almighty God can
one obtain true peace both in this life and
in the life hereafter. Islaam teaches that
all religions originally had the same
essential message - which was to submit
whole-heartedly to the will of God and to
worship Him and Him alone.
For this reason, Islaam is not a
new religion but is the same divinely
revealed Ultimate Truth that God revealed
to all prophets, including Noah, Abraham,
Moses and Jesus.
