Islam is a verb and a noun at the same time.
نسمة ايمان
Islam is a verb and a noun at the same time.
The first meaning of "Islam" is the verb from the root "aslama" (a
verb), meaning to: "surrender; submit; obey; sincerity and in peace."
The second meaning of "Islam" is the noun form from the same root, and
it describes the last and final form of the way of life as perscribed
by the Creator for His Creation. This is the name used in Quran for
Muslims to call themselves as followers of "Islam". This would make
them "Islam-ers" in English, but of course in Arabic the prefix "mu"
is added to denote the one preforming the action or verb and instead
it becomes "mu"-"islam" or "Muslim."
"Islam" can be understood in a very general sense to be the true
religion of God, as it is from Him and according to His commandments
without adding to or taking away from the basic precepts.
