The Word Islam

Question :

Why is our religion called "Islam"?

Answer:

Because one who enters it submits (Aslama) himself to Allah, and he surrenders to (Istislam), and abides by, all of the judgements that come from Allâh and from His Messenger ﷺ . Allah Almighty said:
"And who turns away from the religion of Ibrahim except him who fools himself?"

He also said:
"When his Lord said to him, "Submit (i.c., be a Muslim)!" He said, "I have submitted myself (as a Muslim) to the Lord of all that exists."

And:
"But whoever submits his face (kimself) to Allah and he is a good- doer then his reward is with his Lord."
