In Arabic, Islām derives from the three-letter root س-ل-م, which means "to be in peaceful 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 Hebrow, shalom, which derives from the root shin-lamedh-mem (שלם), 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:
- Salaam, meaning "peace", which is also part of a common salutation, As-Salaamu alaykum (Peace be upon you).
- As-Salaam (The Peace) is one of the 99 names of God found in the Quraan.
- Muslim, a follower of Islam, an agentive noun meaning "one who surrenders" or "submits" to God.
