Islam is an Arabic word meaning submission, it means that you totally submit to God, and worship Him only with no other partner. Here also I must explain what does worship means? It doesn’t mean that you only pray, its meaning is much much wider, to worship God is that you look at Him as your master, no other master controlling you, so He is the ONLY one whom you are loyal to, He is the ONLY One whom you rely on, He is the ONLY One whom you fear, He is the ONLY One who judges you and puts rules for you, why? Because He is our Creator, He is the Creator of the Universe and Creator of everything, He is the Mighty, the Compassionate, the Merciful,the Omnipotent, the Omniscent. He is the One who created the Universe.
