Peace — Salam — is so central to Islam that it forms the daily greeting between Muslims: As-salamu alaykum, "Peace be upon you." Allah's own name, As-Salam, means the source of all peace. Jannah (paradise) is called Dar as-Salam, the abode of peace. The Quran describes the ultimate state of the believing soul as mutmainnah — at peace, tranquil, content with Allah's decree.
