What does ISLAM means...

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ ادْخُلُواْ فِي السِّلْمِ كَآفَّةً وَلاَ تَتَّبِعُواْ خُطُوَاتِ الشَّيْطَانِ إِنَّهُ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ 

"O you who have believed, enter into Islam completely [and perfectly] and do not follow the footsteps of Satan. Indeed, he is to you a clear enemy." (2:208)

'ISLAM' means believing one God that is ALLAH subhanahu wa ta'ala and submitting oneself in worshipping Him alone, obeying His commands by performing the righteous deeds and abondoning shirk.
