Jihad and Peace
The words Islam and Muslim are from the same Aramaic/Semetic root, and the
words Salām, Shalom, and Salem are all translated as “ peace,” “peace that comes
from submission to God,” “whole,” “ complete,” “intact.”
Explain why “submission” is the major theme of Islam, keeping in mind this
history of the words’ meanings.
Identify examples of the connections between “submission” and “ peace” or
wholeness” within the practice of Islam.
