The Priests in the Bible were called Mosollam & Mosollamoth

[Kareem]

Peace be upon all, Thank you for accepting me in your Forum

Before start, I would like to point that all the biblical quotes are taken from Douay Rheims , The Holy BibleTranslated from the Latin Vulgate and diligently compared with the Hebrew, Greek and other editions in divers languages .

The following names are found in that Bible among a lot of other names:

2 Esdras chapter 10, page 447:

Mosollam   mentioned 2 times under the names of the subscribers to the covenant.

2 Esdras chapter 11, page 448

From The priests, the levites, the Nathinites and the children of the servants of Solomon:
Sellum the son of Mosollam, Saraia the son of Helcias, the son of Mosollam, and the son of Mosollamoth

2 Esdras chapter 12

The name Mosollam is mentioned 4 times .


Discussion:

There are two male names stemming from the word Islam root SLM:


Moslem
Mosallam : a very widely used name in the Arabian Gulf area.

Please check this out at the following link:

Etymology 1

Active participle of أسلم (aslama), from the root س ل م (IPA: /s-l-m/)
مُسْلِمٌ‎ • (múslim) m, plural مسلمون (muslimūn)‎, مسلمة (múslima) f
1.   Muslim

 Etymology 2

Passive participle of سلم (sallama), from the root س ل م (IPA: /s-l-m/)
Adjective
مسلم • (musállam)
1.   unimpaired, intact, unblemished, flawless
2.   accepted, uncontested, incontestable, indisputable, incontrovertible


Further explanation about the spelling in Arabic:

Arabic Langauge has 3 vowels: A (ا), O (و)  and E  (ي) for example the letter M  (م) is written as follows accompanied by a vowel:

م + و= مو   Moo
م+ي= مي  Mee
م+ا= ما    Maa


And the Arabic language has 5 main moves which are written as signs above or below a letter and these are not vowels.

مُ  Mo       سُ   So                  Lo        لُ
مَ  Ma       Sa     سَ           La          لَ       
مِ  Me     سِ  Se                     Le      لِ
مْ  M     سْ  S                       L     لْ
مّ  Mm     سّ   Ss                   Ll        لّ

Moslem is written  مُسْلِم
Mosallam is written      مُسَلّم
And in the Bible Mosollam is written  مُسُلّم


So you can see that the names Mosollam and Mosollamoth mentioned in the Holy Bible are clearly stemming from the word Islam and the root S, L ,M.

Further more you will understand now why the anti-islamic sites and blogs bring the debate of Moslem/Muslim trying to convince us that Moslem is a bad word that we should not adopt any more.

For the sake of the Truth.

As'salamu Alaikum dear brother Kareem (Moslem),

May Allah Almighty greatly bless you for the valuable information akhi.  Yes, please post everything you know and have about this extremely important topic.  There is a world-wide deception done by the ignorant and blind missionaries about Islam supposedly being a foreign religion from their Scriptures that their Scriptures supposedly never knew, or were never like, when in reality Islam is THE ORIGINAL FAITH AND CREED OF THEIR SCRIPTURES AND THEIR RELIGION.  I can't stress enough how important this topic is.  Let us all work together insha'Allah into putting forth everything we have regarding this topic, and I will insha'Allah launch a detailed article that will spell this out in great details, insha'Allah.

You see, every once in a great while, this website comes up with a really huge and thorough article that is really rich in references and quotations.  An example of this is: http://www.answering-christianity.com/detailed_meanings_of_scientific_words_in_verses.htm.

And more recently this: http://www.answering-christianity.com/quran_moral_code.htm, and more to come from the XLS file insha'Allah.

I see this article about ISLAM BEING THE ORIGINAL FAITH, as one of these types of articles, and quite honestly, I see it as one of the most important ones, if not THE MOST important one among all of the comparative religions articles out there, if we research it right, insha'Allah.

I hope this helps insha'Allah.  Any brother or sister that has any addition to this, please don't hesitate to contribute.  And as always, I always give the credit to the contributors in the article, insha'Allah.

May Allah Almighty continue to Help us to spread Islam to the lost mankind.  Ameen.

Take care,
Osama Abdallah
