Quoted from Wikipedia that in Arabic, Islam (Arabic: إسلام, lit. 'surrender [to God]') is a verbal noun of Form IV which comes from the verb سلم (salama), from the triliteral root س-ل- م (S-L-M), which forms a large class of words mostly related to the concepts of surrender, salvation, and peace. In a religious context, it refers to total submission to God's will. A Muslim (مُسْلِم), the word for a follower of Islam, is the active participle of the same verb form, and means "one who surrenders (to God)" or "one who submits (to God)". In the Hadith of Jibril, Islam is presented as one part of a triad which also includes imān (faith), and ihsān (perfection). Islam itself has historically been called Mohammedanism in the English-speaking world. The term has fallen into disuse and is sometimes considered offensive, as it implies that a human being, not God, is central to the Muslim religion.

The Islamic religion teaches that the basic concept of divinity in Islam is explained in one surah called Surah Al-Ikhlas which only consists of four verses. The first verse of this surah states that the Almighty God is named Allah. The second verse explains the abilities He has as God, namely as a place to ask for everything. Then, in the third verse, it is stated that His nature is childless and unbegotten. The fourth verse also mentions His nature, namely that there is nothing like Him. In Islamic teachings. Allah is the only God who has the right to be worshiped, has the best names, and has the highest qualities and characters. The teaching of Islamic monotheism is called tawhid, which is defined as the unity of Allah in things that are God's specialty and that He requires. Allah's unification in matters specific to God is divided into two discussions: monotheism rububiyah and monotheism asma' wash-shifat, while Allah's unification in matters that He requires is discussed in monotheism uluhiyah.
