Islam
Yes, this is what the word "Islam" means (submission to the will of God). (The Arabic term 'islam means "submission" and itself comes from the term 'aslama, which means "to surrender, resign oneself.")
But it does not mean (as Muslims believe) that man should just sit down and wait for things to happen. Rather, to seek their goals and work to make good achievements that serve both present life and the afterlife, as Muslims scholars describe it.
In Islam, the fundamental duty of each Muslim is to submit to Allah (Arabic for "the God") and whatever Allah wants of them. A person who follows Islam is called a Muslim, and this means "one who surrenders to God."

No Pakistan is not middle eastern it is in South Asia. just because it is mainly a Muslim country does not make it middle eastern. Bangladesh and Indonesia are Muslim countries too and they are NEVER said to be middle eastern. Just because Pakistan has problems with terrorist does not make it middle eastern either. Pakistan used to be part of the Indian empire so was Bangladesh and so how could Pakistan be middle eastern if it used to be part of the Indian empire? it has Indian races too not middle eastern so that makes it obvious Pakistan is NOT Middle Eastern. Also, the Middle East is part of Asia. This is like asking "Is France a European country or a Nordic country". (Nordic means Northern European)
