I'm talking about religion. I think it does. Islam is derived from the Arabic root "Salema": peace, purity, submission and obedience. In the religious sense, Islam means submission to the will of God and obedience to His law. Everything and every phenomenon in the world other than man is administered totally by God-made laws, ie. they are obedient to God and submissive to his laws, they are in the State of Islam. Man possesses the qualities of intelligence and choice, thus he is invited to submit to the good will of God and obey His law, ie, become a Muslim.Submission to the good will of God, together with obedience to His beneficial Law, ie, becoming a Muslim, is the best safeguard for man's peace and harmony.
Islam dates back to the age of Adam and its message has been conveyed to man by God's prophets and messengers, including Abrahim, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad.
When you submit, you feel peace.
That's what I see when I look at Islam. When you totally and completely give yourself up to Allah (SWT), you feel peace. No matter what happens (good or bad) you never lose that submittance. That is the test of life. Will you still listen when you've been knocked down?
When you accept that good will come to your life, and so will bad, and that no matter what life throws at you, that's when you truly become
'liberated'
