November 01, 2023, 03:44:32 pm Zainab_M: Allahhuma ameen .. ameen.
November 01, 2023, 03:43:43 pm Ruhi_Rose: Yes .. making lots of dua everyday ..... watching those real life video clips, my face feels wet with tears all the time.  May ALLAH grant the best to these wonderful, brave & steadfast martyrs,  Ameen ya Allah.
November 01, 2023, 03:38:26 pm Zainab_M: Keep praying, praying a lot for Gaza. It's worse than a prison .. it's a concentration camp.  Children as young as 10 or 11 are having to care for their younger siblings ages 2, 3 and 4 becoz many have lost both parents.  It's a very, very, very tearful situation there.
October 26, 2023, 03:40:19 pm N. Truth Seeker: Don't forget to look up MV Blog Zainab's Lounge for our Gaza updates.
October 20, 2023, 04:24:44 pm Zainab_M: Right sister Heba.  Gaza hospital bombing has the fingerprints of Israel all over it.  For Israel this is no big crime.  They have done this and much worse many times in the past and intend to do the same and worse many more times in near future.
October 20, 2023, 04:20:20 pm Heba E. Husseyn: Catching Zionist lies isn't hard. Soon after Gaza hospital bombing killing and maiming hundreds, Israel was quick to accuse Islamic Jihad of a misfired rocket.  That didn't sound plausible because IJ does not have such sophisticated bombing devices.  Zionist lie was fully exposed when anglican archbishop of Jerusalem,Hosam Naoum,  said today that 3 or 4 days prior to boming Israel had warned Gaza hospital to evacuate. Yet CIA claims in its flawed analysis that the rocket did not come from Israel.  But conveniently does not explain how Israel could have known 4 days earlier that a "misfired" rocket from IJ was coming.  Yet on the basis of this flawed & bias analysis of CIA, Biden is comforting Israel he believes Israel didn't do that war crimes bombing.
July 29, 2023, 03:02:07 am Zainab_M: Yesterday was Ashura, Muharram 10, 1444 (July 27, 2023).  Read about this very tragic day and details of the world's greatest 7th century revolutionary: WHO WAS HUSSEIN.
June 28, 2023, 09:48:39 am Zainab_M: Walaikum As Salaam.  This was the first Hajj open to all after the pandemic. It was attended by 2.6 million Muslims.

Walaikum Salam brother.

Alhumdulilah and thank you.   Your write-up contains useful information.  But we disagree with one specific point here.   The terms 'Islam' and 'Salam' are independent, not inter-weaved.  That's Muslim Villa's opinion because the Noble Quran does not elucidate any such notion that the term 'Salam' springs from "Islam" is also evident from the Verses you quoted.  Islam is submission to Allah's will.  Peace, love and kindness no doubt constitute an important part of the ideology of submission.  But we cannot literally say Islam means peace, these are two different words.

'Salam' is the greeting of peace incumbent upon the follower of 'Islam'
Kindly focus on the original Quran and not on the the words in brackets which translators often insert to represent their varying interpretations.  We have already addressed this subject at Don't get confused between the words 'Islam' and 'Salam' because it's been a common  oversight for a while.

A secondary root of Islam maybe "al-salam" or peace.  But the text of the Noble Quran  makes the assertion of Allah Almighty abundantly clear that the focus of His Message is submission to Him alone as the  believer's way of life and in Arabic that is 'Islam'   involving submission to Him at all times, in times of peace, war, ease, or hardship.   

As also indicated in many Quranic Verses including the ones you quoted, peace is an essential quality of a submitter.  But "Islam" and "Salam" are independent terms with separate connotations and 'Islam' for sure takes precedence.   There are many folks who are not Monotheists or they maybe atheists or agnostics yet they too may practice peace or offer peace.  But that does not make them Muslims ... that does not make them followers of Islam .... because they are not submitters to Allah alone. 

The idea of linking 'Islam' and 'salam'  arises because of two reasons.  One reason has already been stated in Sister Zeynab's post (link posted above) when our Muslim clerics try to gratify participants of interfaith dialogues which have become a trend in the West since the past decade or so.  Secondly, the terms "Islam" and "Salam" have a similar rhythm bringing along an inaccurate notion that both are intertwined having the same root. 

Islam is not about pacifism which I already clarified previously in my response to your post Do' and Donts in the Quran.    Linking Islam with pacifism is not MV's concept lest our readers misunderstand us.   I would reiterate, 'Salam' is the greeting of peace incumbent upon the follower of 'Islam' (submitter).
