Simply by saying 'there is no god apart from God, and
Muhammad is the Messenger of God.' By this declaration the believer announces
his or her faith in all God's messengers, and the scriptures they brought.
What does Islam mean?
The Arabic word 'Islam' simply means 'submission', and
derives from a word meaning 'peace'. In a religious context it means complete
submission to the will of God. 'Mohammedanism' is thus a misnomer because it
suggests that Muslims worship Muhammad rather than God. 'Allah' is the Arabic
name for God, which is used by Arab Muslims and Christians alike.
