No one ever claimed that Abraham uttered the words "Allahu Akbar." After all, his prinicipal languages were Akkadian and Aramaic. Etymologically speaking, the word "Muslim" is derived from the root SLM, which means "peace" in Aramaic, Hebrew, and classical Arabic. Moreover, Abraham was a Muslim in the sense that he submitted his will unto God. quote]
Muslim is derived from Salaam/ Shalom? I heard it literally came from some Arabic word for submission.
