What does Islam mean?
In Arabic, Islam (Arabic: إسلام, "submission [to God]") is the verbal noun originating from the verb سلم (salama), from triliteral root س-ل-م (S-L-M), which forms a large class of words mostly relating to concepts of wholeness, submission, sincerity, safeness, and peace. Islam is the verbal noun of the root, and means "submission" or "total surrender". In a religious context, it means "total surrender to the will of God".
