The word "Islam" is an Arabic word which means "submission to the will of God". This word comes from the same root as the Arabic word "salam", which means "peace". As such, the religion of Islam teaches that in order to achieve true peace of mind and surety of heart, one must submit to Allah.

Islam is not a new religion because "submission to the will of God", i.e. Islam, has the same eternal message revealed through the ages to all of God's prophets and messengers. Muslims believe that all of God's prophets, which include Abraham, Noah, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad (May Allah Peace be upon them All), brought the same message of Pure Monotheism. For this reason, the Prophet Muhammad was not the founder of a new religion, as many people mistakenly think, but he was the Final Prophet sent to mankind.

the way of Islam is the same as the way of the prophet Abraham,and all the prophets, they submitted themselves completely to God and worshipped Him alone without intermediaries.

To become a Muslim, a person of any race or culture need to say and believe in a simple statement, the shahadah, that bears witness to the belief in One God and that Prophet Muhammad is the last prophet of God.
