EtymologyEdit

Borrowed around 1615 from Arabic مُسْلِم‎ (muslim, “one who submits”), the active participle of أَسْلَمَ‎ (ʔaslama, “he submitted”), verb form IV from the triliteral root س ل م‎ (s-l-m), "to be whole, intact". The verbal noun إسْلام‎ (ʔislām) means literally "submission". In a religious sense, الْإِسْلَام‎ (al-ʔislām) translates to "faith, piety", and مُسْلِم‎ (muslim) to "one who has (religious) faith or piety".
