#Islam_is_the_way 🔽🔽🔽 (1) 1. What is Islam?
The word Islam is derived from the Arabic root "salama", which means; peace, purification, submission, and obedience, among other things. In the religious sense, the word Islam means submission to the will of God, and thus one enters the realm of Peace, which is Islam. It is noteworthy that Peace is one of the Divine names.
Islam, submission to the will of God, and obedience to His law, does not mean in any way the loss of individual freedom or surrender to fatalism. When people abide by the laws of their countries, they are considered sound citizens and nobody says that they lose their freedom by their obedience to the law. Similarly, the person who submits to the will of God, which is a good will, and obeys the law of God, which is the best law is a sound person and does not lose his freedom. Submission to the will of God does not take away the individual freedom nor does it curtail it. On the contrary, it gives a high quality freedom. It frees the mind from superstitions and fills it with truth. It frees the soul from sin and wrong and quickens it with goodness and purity. It frees the self from vanity and greed, envy and tension, fear and insecurity. It frees man from subjugation to desires and false deities (idols, men, money, society, family, power, celebrities, etc) and unfolds before him the beautiful horizons of goodness and excellence. Submission to the will of God is the best safeguard of peace and harmony. It enables man to make peace between himself and his fellow man on one hand, and between the human community and God on the other. It creates harmony among the elements of nature.
