The word Islam literally translates in English to "become peaceful, acceptance, submission, self-surrender

As for Muslim, it means literally "submission" but has the connotation of a peaceful submission before God. It is a choice, as well.

I got my information from the book "No God but God", written by Reza Aslan. Aslan is an American Muslim and a prominent religious scholar that studied at Harvard.
