A Muslim or Moslem is a follower of Islam. It means someone who is "submissive to the will of Allah."[1] True Muslims must honor the Shahada, both submitting to the will of Allah and accepting the prophet Muhammad as his apostle.
The older terms "Mohammedan" or "Muhammedan" ("follower of Muhammad"), are considered offensive and have fallen out of use.[2]
