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(pbuh) rather than God. 'Allah' is the Arabic name for God, which is used by Arab Muslims and Christians alike(
a more clear concise description of the term 'Allah' will be given later)
