Islam - Etymology
In Arabic, Islām derives from the three-letter root Sīn-Lām-Mīm (س-ل-م), which means "submission; to surrender; to obey; peace". Islām is a verbal abstract to this root, and literally means "submission/obedience," referring to submission to Allah. Compare that root with the cognate word in Hebrew, shalom, which derives from the root shin-lamedh-mem (ש-ל-ם), which has cognates in many Semitic languages, and means completeness, fulfillment, wellbeing, a concept usually encapsulated by translation in the word peace.
Other Arabic words derived from س-ل-م:
- Salām, meaning "peace", which is also part of a common salutation, As-Salāmu alaykum (Peace be upon you).
- As-Salām (The Peace) is one of the 99 names of God found in the Qur'an.
- Muslim, a follower of Islam, an agentive noun meaning "one who surrenders" or "submits" to God.
