The Truth About - Muslims Everyone is asking about Muslims - who they are, where they come from, what they believe and what they are doing around the world. Some are interested to know why so many people are turning to Islam and how it has become the worlds fastest growing religion in the world today, being only second to Christianity. Good questions. But before we begin, it is necessary to provide some understanding of the meaning of words from the Arabic language so as to better present an accurate picture of what is ISLAM and who are the MUSLIMS. According to the Arabic dictionary, the word Muslim comes from the word Islam. The word Moslem is inappropriate in both spelling and meaning, as there is a word in Arabic, mozlum which means a wrongdoer or oppressor and does not come from the same root. Both Muslim and Islam come from the same root: S, L, M (silm) - meaning; to submit in peace; surrender in obedience; and this immediately implies a relationship between two entities, one being superior to the other or in charge of matters. It must be mentioned before going any further, the teachings of Islam are based on the Recitation of Speech (Arabic; Quran) to Muhammad, peace be upon him, and his teachings (sunnah).
