A '''Muslim''' of '''Moslem''' is a follower of [[Islam]]. It means someone who is "submissive to the will of [[Allah]]".<ref> see [http://media.www.crusaderonline.com/media/storage/paper990/news/2001/10/12/UndefinedSection/What-Do.Muslims.Believe-2470847.shtml What do Muslims believe?] </ref> 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"), is offensive and has fallen out of use.<ref> Additional archaic terms for Muslims include "Hagarene", and "Saracen". Saracen as a term for muslims was limited to the crusade era, although it makes frequent re-appearances in pre-modern polemics. Hagarene was a more common term in pre-modern works, as it denotes the biblical connection of Hagar the mother of Ishmael who is reported as the patriarch of Islam. Additional names for Muslims in pre-modern and Medieval works are generally derived from misspellings.</ref>
