IslamTo enter into peace through surrender to God is an Arabic word which means ‘peace’ and ‘obedience’. A MuslimOne who surrenders willfully to God is someone who follows Islam, wants to live in ‘peace’ and is ‘obedient’ to God.
Muslims live in all parts of the world: Europe, Asia, North America, South America, the Middle East, the Far East, Africa, Australia. Some countries have many Muslims and some have a few.
No one knows for sure exactly how many Muslims there are in the world, but there are thought to be about one billion. That is the same as one in every six people in the world.
Muslims do not all look the same. They may have different coloured skin, have different cultural backgrounds, speak different languages, wear different clothes and even eat different kinds of foods.
