Dar es salaam is popularly believed to originate from the Persian-Arabic word Bandar-ul-salaam meaning in Swahili Bandari ya Salama. (Dari salaam) He changed the name of Mzizima to Dari Salama "Dari "means the upper roof or terrace sheltered and "Salama means safe heaven/place where someone could rest in peace ".due to the truth that he found the place very and he took it without bloodshed.
