Islam :  Entering Into Health

A name is the most significant hallmark of a school of thought, as we judge them mostly by their names. The word “Islam” means “entering into health.” In every language, there are some words that are lexically synonymous but convey very different meanings. If God has named a religion, this name should convey the main philosophy and the eventual purpose of that religion. This means that when one comes across this name, one should understand the essence of that religion and the results of believing in and basing their behavior on that religion. In the Quran, God emphasizes that He has chosen “Islam” as the name of the religion. This emphasizes the fact that the core of Islam is health, health in all physical, mental, spiritual, moral, social, and cultural aspects of life.

This specific emphasis on health in Islam is most evident in greetings between Muslims. In Islam, greeting with “سلام علیکم” (“salaam alaikum”), which means “health be upon you,” is an obligatory act. This means that the first thing a Muslim should say when meeting someone is wishing that person good health in all parts of life. This fundamental concept gives us a way to judge everything with glasses of “healthiness.” Anything that endangers the health of a society or an individual is considered a sin, and anything that helps to improve the healthiness of the society and its members is deemed a mandatory part of the religion. We can then judge the right/wrong interpretations of the Quran based on the aforementioned fundamental criteria. This also prevents formation of new misinterpretations of the Quran and deviations from the essence of the religion.

When one comes across the name chosen for this religion and its followers—Islam and Muslims, respectively—and one finds out that both of these words are derived from the word “سلم” (“salamah”) meaning “being healthy,” one immediately understands: This school is abundant with methods and practices to reach maximum healthy and liveliness in all facets of life. This religion’s ultimate purpose is to make the world a place full of happiness, peace, and health.

However, what most people have heard about Islam is very different from its real meaning. Submission, surrendering yourself, and absolute obedience are the most prevalent meanings associated with Islam. The Quran believes that true religion is innate in everyone. Therefore, human beings should learn to live healthy lives and to become healthier every day, because their inborn religion will guide them only when they are healthy.

Islam – The Way of Health

What is the meaning of Islam? Does it mean submission? Islam is religion of health not submission. This book proves literally that Islam does not mean submission at all. Reasoning is based on knowledge, wisdom, and evidence. No scholar is able to reject it by any scientific reason or logic of Qur’an. This book reveals an absolute and undeniable fact that had been hidden amidst the lost reality of religions. Islam is the way of health.

In this book, the meaning of Islam has been investigated from an etymological point of view. The term ‘Islam’ (‘اسلام’) is rooted from ‘سلم’ which means “entering to health” and it has become transitive by taking it to “باب الافعال”. Therefore its literal meaning is “making healthy and giving health”.

The Islam religion means “the way of making healthy and giving health and avoiding harm”. This is the truth meaning of Islam. Name is the main representative of a school of thought, especially about Islam religion, which according to the Muslim’s beliefs, God himself has determined its name in the holy book of Qur’an[1]. The name of Islam reflects the structure, basic concept and content of the religion. Every rule and command of the Islam religion has to follow this structure, and results in health. Everyone who hears the truth meaning of Islam realizes what this way is. What he/she has to avoid and what should do.

This book discusses historically why this meaning has been concealed throughout the history; the most important reason is the warrior spirit of Muslims during the first decades after its prophet’s death. While based on Islamic faith, followers, leaders, and Islamic societies should not do anything that leads to harm or hurt in family, society, and nature.

It is demonstrated how fruitful this new meaning could be. In such Islamic society: 1) suicide, war, and despotism is denounced. 2) Protecting the environment is the most significant feature. 3) Gaining knowledge and cognition, freedom of thought and speech are most admirable behaviors.
