peace

Arabic translation: سَـلام، السَـلام

English term or phrase: peace
general
Daniel
Arabic translation:سَـلام، السَـلام
Explanation:
The word is pronounced SALAM, with a short first syllable and a long (stressed) second syllable.

Depending on what you mean by peace (whether transcendent peace, cessation of hostilities, or something in between), there are a number of synonyms, near and distant, but SALAM is the most general term.

In Arabic, abstract nouns (when used abstractly) take the definite article AL (which is attached as prefix). In this case the L in AL takes the sound of the first consonant sound in SALAM, so that AL-SALAM sounds ASSALAM.

Both SALAM and AL-SALAM are written above in Arabic script. If your computer is correctly configured to display Arabic text, you will be able to see what the words look like.
