What does As-Salam mean?

Salam means the One who is free of every fault and calamity and who grants peace to His servants. “Islam” and “as-salamu alaykum” come from the same root; in other words, submission and peace belong to the same family of words. The greeting with which the people of Paradise will be received also derives from this name.

In the Quran: It is listed in Surah al-Hashr, verse 23; in addition, in Surah Ya-Sin, verse 58, the word “Salam” appears as a word coming from the Lord.
