.gif) The word "Islam" is derived from the Arabic root "SLM" which means, among other things, peace, purity, submission and obedience. "Islam" means submission and total devotion to God alone. Similarly, the word Muslim is used in the Qur'an to describe one who submits to the will of God, and devotes his worship to Him alone. The Qur'an considers Abraham, David, Moses, Jesus, Muhammad, and all other messengers and prophets, as Submitters, including any of their true followers.
