In Arabic, the word Islam (إسلام, al-Islām) means “submission [to God].” It is a verbal noun from Form IV of the root سلم (S-L-M), which relates to submission, safeness, and peace. In a religious sense, Islam refers to total surrender to the will of God. The related term Muslim (مُسْلِم) is the active participle of the same verb form, meaning “submitter (to God)” or “one who surrenders (to God).” Some Quranic studies scholarship cited in the content also argues for different semantic emphases in the Qur’an, such as islām relating to monotheism and muslim to monotheism. Historically, the content notes that Islam was sometimes called “Mohammedanism” in English-speaking contexts, a label that has fallen out of use and is sometimes considered offensive because it can imply that a human figure (rather than God) is central. In the hadith of Gabriel, Islam is presented as one part of a triad alongside imān (faith) and ihsān (excellence), framing Islam within a broader religious structure.
