“Islam is derived from the Arabic word salam which means peace. It is also derived from the Arabic word silm which means to submit your will to Almighty God. Islam, in short, means peace acquired by submitting your will to Almighty God. A person who acquires peace by submitting his will to Almighty God is called as a Muslim.”
This is the commencement of the below fascinating lecture by the celebrated Muslim scholar, Dr. Zakir Naik.
