∙ 15y agoIslam is a complete way of life. It is a guidance for Muslims from God. It covers all things people do in their lifetime. Islam tells us the purpose of our creation, our final destiny, and our place among other creatures. Islam is an Arabic word which means submission, obedience, and peace. Submission is acceptance of God's commands. Obedience means putting God's commands into practice. Submission and obedience to God brings peace. A person who accepts the Islamic way of life and acts upon it is a Muslim. Allah, another Arabic word, is the proper name of God. Muslims prefer to use the word Allah rather than the word God.
