1550: judaism and islam Mar 12, 2019

Buddhism is named for the 'Buddha', Christianity is named for 'Christ', and Judaism is named for 'Judah', not because he was the favorite son of Isaac in the Bible, but because it was the last Jewish kingdom and 'Judea' was the name outsiders learned. However, 'Islam' did not gain its name from something like this. Instead, the word comes from the root S-L-M and means 'submission' or 'surrender'; it is also related to the Arabic 'salām' (سلام), and the Hebrew 'shalom' (שלום) which mean 'peace'.
