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.
The religion of Islam means the acceptance of and obedience to those teachings of God which He revealed to His Last Prophet, Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa alihi wasallam
Islam is a monotheistic Abrahamic religion that originated in the 7th century CE in the Arabian Peninsula. It is based on the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad, who Muslims believe received revelations from God (Allah) through the Quran, the holy book of Islam. The word “Islam” itself means submission to the will of God. Muslims follow a set of religious practices and beliefs, including the Five Pillars of Islam, which are the declaration of faith (Shahada), prayer (Salat), fasting during Ramadan (Sawm), almsgiving (Zakat), and pilgrimage to Mecca (Hajj). Islam has over a billion followers worldwide and is one of the world’s major religions.
The word “Islam” in its linguistic sense means submission or surrender. In Islamic terminology, it refers to submitting oneself to the teachings and laws of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and accepting the religion that he brought, known as Islam.
In contrast to “Iman” (faith), when the term “Islam” is used, it typically refers to the outward actions and practices of the religion. This includes acts of worship such as bearing witness to the oneness of Allah, performing prayers (Salat), observing fasting (Sawm), giving charity (Zakat), and undertaking the pilgrimage to Mecca (Hajj), among others. Practicing and expressing these teachings and beliefs as taught by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is referred to as “Islam.”
Over time, the term “Islam” has come to represent the entire religion brought by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and encompasses both the belief (Iman) and the practices (Islam) that make up the faith of Muslims.
