Beyond linguistic distinctions, there is actually very few differences between Islam and Muslim.
Definition of Islam and Muslim
Or, you can continue to read "The Star's" version of this...
- Islam : the meaning comes from the Arabic verbal noun (like a gerund) s-l-m. When appropriate vowel markers are added the word Islam appears. The etymology of s-l-m is to submit, accept, or surrender. From this comes Islam’s conventional definition of surrender to God.
- Muslim : also has its roots in the s-l-m verb. It is a participle of the verb and refers to a person who engages in the act of submission, acceptance, or surrender. Therefore a Muslim is a person who submits to the will of God, or a follower of Islam.
And I did not say Islam, but Islamist.
