Question:
The questioner who used the code letter (M) says: I hope you will clarify the meaning of Islam?
Answer:
The meaning of Islam is: submission to Allah through the oneness of Allah, and obedience to Him in humility and submission. This is the meaning of Islam. It is said: So-and-so submitted to so-and-so, meaning: he humbled himself to him, obeyed him, and gave him what he wanted. So the meaning of Islam is: humility to Allah, and submission to Allah through His oneness, sincerity to Him, obedience to His commands, and leaving off His prohibitions. This is Islam. Allah the Exalted said: [Al Imran: 19]. And the Muslim is called a Muslim because he is submissive to Allah, humble and obedient to Him, Glorified and Exalted is He, in doing what He commanded and leaving off what He prohibited.
Islam is also applied to everything that Allah and His Messenger commanded, such as prayer, fasting, Hajj, faith, and so on; all of it is called Islam. As Allah, may He be Exalted, said: : [Al Imran: 19]. And He the Exalted said: [Al Ma'idah: 3]. And He, Blessed and Exalted is He, said: [Al Imran: 85].
So the Muslim is the one who submits to the command of Allah in speech, action, and belief. And Islam is: submission to the command of Allah, surrender to the command of Allah, and humility to the command of Allah in all aspects. Yes.

Allah the Exalted said:
Indeed, the religion in the sight of Allah is Islam
إِنَّ الدِّينَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ الإِسْلامُIslam is also applied to everything that Allah and His Messenger commanded, such as prayer, fasting, Hajj, faith, and so on; all of it is called Islam. As Allah, may He be Exalted, said: :
Indeed, the religion in the sight of Allah is Islam
إِنَّ الدِّينَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ الإِسْلامُThis day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favor upon you and have approved for you Islam as religion.
الْيَوْمَ أَكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دِينَكُمْ وَأَتْمَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ نِعْمَتِي وَرَضِيتُ لَكُمُ الإِسْلامَ دِينًاAnd whoever desires other than Islam as religion - never will it be accepted from him, and he, in the Hereafter, will be among the losers.
وَمَنْ يَبْتَغِ غَيْرَ الإِسْلامِ دِينًا فَلَنْ يُقْبَلَ مِنْهُ وَهُوَ فِي الآخِرَةِ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَSo the Muslim is the one who submits to the command of Allah in speech, action, and belief. And Islam is: submission to the command of Allah, surrender to the command of Allah, and humility to the command of Allah in all aspects. Yes.
