Islam comes from an Arabic root word, sa-la-ma, which literally means peace, calling for the active participation to employ peace in one’s life. Muslims believe that peace is achieved through submission to the Creator in words, deeds and actions.
“Let there arise among you a band of people inviting to all that is good and just, enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong and unjust. They are the ones to attain felicity.”
