islam definition in arabic
Photo: ~Firas. Many religions have a concept of surrendering to God. In Arabic, the word âIslamâ means submission or surrender â however, it was derived from the root word âsalamâ. From this root word, you can also derive the words peace and safety. Many people feel that Islam implies some sort of enslavement to Allah, but others find it more helpful to define the word âIslamâ as surrender.
