Today I was browsing some of AquaCool archive because I really miss her writing in JP and I found a very cool post titled "WHAT DOES THE WORD 'ISLAM' MEAN?"
She starts explaining that the word Islam is a verb not a noun, Arabic is my mother language but honestly I've never paid attention to that and appearently it makes a real difference (shame on me but walahi I didn't know)
Then she start explaining the meaning of the VERB Islam
later she explains where Jewish, Christianity and Islam meet
Finally she included a link for an American born Texan, who was born a Christian and a son of a Christian Minster; He Himself had preached Christianity for 50 years of his life.
And now converted to Islam. He knows all the old and new testaments cover to cover and is more capable than I am to explain to you in video presentations:
And much more Videos ; Main Site.
Thank you Iman for such cool post

She starts explaining that the word Islam is a verb not a noun, Arabic is my mother language but honestly I've never paid attention to that and appearently it makes a real difference (shame on me but walahi I didn't know)
The wordIslamis a VERB not a NOUN.
Let me repeat that one more time: The wordIslamis a VERB not a NOUN.
Judaism is a NOUN after Judah. Christianity is a NOUN after Christ
Islam is an Arabic VERB.
The word MUSLIM is an Arabic word that means: The person who does the VERB ISLAM.
If you WALK then you become a WALKER
If you READ then you become a READER.
If you ISLAM then you become an ISLAMER = MUSLIM in Arabic.
Most statements that come from people who attack Islam would sound to us like:
How come you READERS are acting as WALKERS while you claim to only be READERS?
Then she start explaining the meaning of the VERB Islam
This is what we Muslims always mean when we ask people to know what Islam is? What does it mean? Where does it come from?
I hear people say Islam = PEACE, this is not correct the word PEACE in Arabic is SALAM not ISLAM.
Islam comes from the ROOT word in Arabic SALAMA which contains the following 5 words:
Surrender, Submission, Obedience, Purity/Sincerity and Peace.
Open any Arabic dictionary if you can read Arabic and you will find what I've said above.
ISLAM is a VERB that means: SURRENDER your will to god Allah; OBEY his commandments; be in total SUBMISSION to what he wants you to do all the time; and do all the above PURELY / SINCERELY for his sake alone; in order to achieve PEACE between your soul and him the one and only creator.
later she explains where Jewish, Christianity and Islam meet
A MSULIM is a person who doesISLAM: SURRENDER your will to god Allah; OBEY his commandments; be in total SUBMISSION to what he wants you to do all the time; and do all the above PUERLY / SINCERILY for his sake alone; in order to achieve PEACE between your soul and him the one and only creator.
The Hebrews were asked by Moses [Peace be upon him] to: SURRENDER their will to god; OBEY his commandments; be in total SUBMISSION to what he wants them to do all the time; and do all the above PURELY / SINCERELY for his sake alone; in order to achieve PEACE between their souls and him the one and only creator.
The Jews were asked by Jesus [Peace be upon him] to: SURRENDER their will to god; OBEY his commandments; be in total SUBMISSION to what he wants them to do all the time; and do all the above PURELY / SINCERELY for his sake alone; in order to achieve PEACE between their souls and him the one and only creator.
Read the Jewish commandments and you will see that they state the above.
Read the Christian bibles, testaments and you will find that they command people to do the above.
ISLAM is what god Allah has always commanded all of us to do. It is the word and way of god Allah
The prophet Moses [Peace be upon him] commanded people to DO ISLAM.
The prophet Jesus [Peace be upon him] commanded people to DO ISLAM
The prophet Mohammad [Peace be upon him] commanded people to DO ISLAM.
Finally she included a link for an American born Texan, who was born a Christian and a son of a Christian Minster; He Himself had preached Christianity for 50 years of his life.
And now converted to Islam. He knows all the old and new testaments cover to cover and is more capable than I am to explain to you in video presentations:
- What is Islam and why is it misunderstood today?
Why Islam and terrorism don't ever mix? And how Islam declared war on terrorism suppression and oppression 1400 years ago in the from of JIHAD.
Women's rights in Islam vs. men's rights and explains the EQUITY that Islam has for men and women alike; and how does EQUITY in Islam greatly surpasses the EQUILITY that some women are asking for today? And why 70 % of new Muslims are WOMEN?
