"Islam" is an Arabic word which means "submission, surrender and obedience to God." In religious terms, this means that the individual who embraces Islam as his religion must put the Almighty first and foremost in his life, bowing to His wishes in all matters great and small. Everything in the universe-the sun, the moon, the stars— have all completely subjugated themselves to God's will. But there is a difference between the status of man and that of the physical world.
The physical world has been given no option but to submit to God, whereas man has been given free will, so that he may opt for either good or bad ways. To this end he has been given a thinking faculty, and a conscience with which to make moral judgements for himself. He is not bound by fixed laws like all other created beings. He has been given freedom of thought, option and action. It is through this liberty of choice that man is being tested.
