Islam means submission(to Allah), Muslim is the one who submits. Salam is the Hebrew Shalom,meaning Peace; like Namaste is a Parsi(Avesta language) word meaning respectful salutation. Allah, in Sanskrit(Vedas) is Parmatma/ Parmishwar/ Brahman. In Vedic religion and in Islam the concept about the Supreme Deity is almost similar. The Avtars in Vedas are the Holy Prophets in Islam. Hindus worship Him in a 'Form", the Muslims worship Him as the Formless or One whose Form is beyond human perceptions.

The world "ISLAM" is Arabic for "surrender" or "submission" to the will of Allah. In the language of the Quran, Islam means the readiness of a person to take orders from God and to follow them through. It is not derived from the word, "peace," as it is often misinterpreted. Look it up in any dictionary.

Arabic word means: submission.
You believe God created you, He owes you, He decides weather to grant you good health, intelligence, wealth, power, high position in society...etc, and when you die. You must not complain for the little you have. When you are always thankful, you will be rewarded either now, or in the after life.
We are possessions of God, we agreed to "submit" our souls and bodies to Him.
Salam: is peace.
Salam alaikum: peace be upon you, a form of greeting that you wish the other party peace from God. Like saying "good morning" - peace is good too.

ISLAM is a VERB that means: SURRENDER your will to god “Allah”; OBEY his commandments; be in total SUBMISSION to what he wants you to do all the time; and do all the above PUERLY / SINCERILY for his sake alone; in order to achieve PEACE between your soul and him the one and only creator.
