Best Answer

It comes from the word salam, which means peace. The word Islam means submission. It comes from the story of Abraham, who submitted himself to God. Hence, Islam is about submitting oneself to God.

Likewise, Muslim means anyone who submits. This is why Muslims believe Adam to be the first Muslim.

Submission is acceptance of God's commands. Obedience means putting God's commands into practice. Submission and obedience to God brings peace. A person who accepts the Islamic way of life and acts upon it is a Muslim. Allah, another Arabic word, is the proper name of God. Muslims prefer to use the word Allah rather than the word God.The Holy Book in Islam is the Koran/Quran.
