Which term describes a follower of Islam?

• A. Moslems
• B. Islamists
• C. Believers
• D. Muslims

Answer: (D)

Muslims is the term used for a follower of Islam. It comes from the Arabic word Muslim, meaning “one who submits [to God],” and in English it functions as the standard noun for a follower, with the plural form Muslims. Older spellings like Moslems appear in some older texts and are less common today. Islamists describe people who advocate a political interpretation of Islam, not all who practice the faith, and Believers is a general term that isn’t specific to Islam.
