What is the definition of the word: muslim?

Question

answer: person who submits themselves to God.

So, if you are reading the Koran, exchange the english definition for the following words. Allah (God) muslim ( sumbmission to God).

There are others, but the muslims key their whole Allah is true because the Koran uses these words, and these words mean God, etc..

Lets look at 3:52, here is a gross misuse of the words for their gain.

Koran english translation " Bear witness that we are muslims"
the disciple pledging their alliance to Jesus.

Now use it in the completed english translation:

"Bear witness that we submit ourself to God."

Now, I will accept muslim as a way to get people use to seeing Arabic words or whatever, but to base an arguement that this is the reason the koran is the word of "God" is ludacrous.

Also, the language they would have spoken would have been Aramaic. Not arabic. Arabic wasnt a language until 400 + years later.

The earliest Arabic written document is written in 512 AD, ...

so the arguement that Arabic was the languag is absurd.

Johnsonwriter, the newer dictionaries have teid muslims directly to islam. The arabic word means to submit to God.

Keep looking, you will see. They are getting words changed in recent history.

For some reason it is PC to attack any religion except Islam.

Scary...

You really know your stuff.

Answer 2

A Muslim is a follower of Islam, not someone who submits themselves to God. Ishmael, born before Muhammad, was the first man to speak Arabic. And if you translate Arabic to English, you will never get the true meaning of what was said because some words in Arabic do not have a literal translation in English. Therefore, you need a transliteration--Arabic is translated to English, then transliterated into the context the Arabic is used in. You're information is completely wrong.

Answer 3

Well Allah was originally the moon god who just happened to be the god of Muhammad's family that somehow became the one true god.

Answer 4

Muslims, Direct decedents of Ishmael , because of Sarah and Abraham's disobedience, A thorn in the side if Israel

Answer 5

let me say to every unmuslim here; the war this asker and whom are like he are fighting is a war of hate.

The main stream of Muslims lives good and are good people in every community they live in (USA - EUROPE) and they - the Muslims - hate terrorists and what they do. you cant try to show that Islam is a secret evil organization consists of hate with 1300,000,000 member.. if someone said this , that means he is crazy

I want to say that those people like YOU who gave their life to fight Islam and want everybody to hate Muslims are calling for DESCREMINATION, HATE then WAR between the main 2 religions in the world. AND THAT WAR IS BETWEEN THE ONLY 2 RELIGIONS WHO WORSHIP THE SAME GOD (jews also worship the same God but they all are 14 millions , so am talking about the main 2 religions who pray to OUR God , THE GOD OF BOTH OF US .

WE MUSLIMS ARE THE ONLY RELIGION ON EARTH BESIDE CHRISTIANITY WHO BELIVE IN JESUS .

we pray to the God of muses , and all previous religions of the same stream .

I'M SO UNHAPPY AND I FEEL BITTERNESS TO SEE PEOPLE LIKE YOU ARE CALLING FOR EVERYBODY TO JOIN SUCH DIRTY EVIL WAR OF HATE BETWEEN THE 2 MAIN RELIGIONS .

WHAT DO YOU WANT ? WAR ? you saw how hard is fighting in Iraq which population is about 20 million, now we are talking about 1.3 billion and I'm sure that will be not good to anyone

We have people like you among Muslims and those are less than 1% , those are called extremists , and if you once moved to the stage of ACT , by the way of thinking you have, you will turn in your next step into a TERORIST , just like them … they began like you , they were talking to muslim people specially youth about the evil west , America the great Satan , the crusader war against us , they call Christians crusaders , and we have to take a move now before it become too late, (sounds famillier?) before they destroy us and destroy Islam… then step be step the act came as the greatest struggle to DEFEND our nation from THE ATTACK OF THOSE CRUSADORS IN AMERICA AND EUROPE !!!! the same language , am I right ???? the same language you are using now …. it's the The language of extremists, the language of all terrorist .

such hating people are the same, are the other side of one coin with the Islamic terrorists who gave their life to fight everybody else.

TO EVERYBODY THERE, don't listen to the sound of evil and hate. And remember, Muslims HATE terrorists, so everybody else: DONT LISTEN TO THE VOICE OF YOUR TERRORISTS

P.S : I'M FROM Egypt , me and almost everyone I met since el zarkawy was killed were so happy with his death , and we all consider him an evil terrorist ( those few people who were not that happy were narrow minded enough to consider him a freedom fighters against the invading army , but even those – who are very few amongst Egyptians – don’t accept the terrorist acts of killing civilians , decapitating hostages and those horrible and dirty acts )

Answer 6

Your definition is faulty.

From dictionary.com:

"A believer in or adherent of Islam."

That is the definition.
