Greetin in Islam
Assala-u-alaikum. Before down of Islam, the Arab used to greet each other with expression like HAYA KALLAH which means my Allah keep you alive. Islam introduced a new greeting ASSALAMU ALAIKUM. It means may you be saved from all forms of grief, hardship and misery. Allah subhanahu wataalah says in Qur'an:surah Alhashir#23 He is Allah and there is no other worth worshipping than Him. He is the sovereign lord, the Holy one,peace ,keeper of faith, the Guardian, the majestic,
the mighty,the powerful, the superb, Glory to Allah who is above all that which they ascribe to him.
asslam is one of the glorious names of Allah. We understand the meaning, significance and use of this word salam. Assalam-u-alaikim, This Islamic greeting is better than the greeting of love which is used by all the other nations. This is due to the following reasons:-it not just an expression of love but the reason and logic for this love is expressed in the form of a supplication or wishing that you be saved from all forms of grief. This sublimation is not only for life as the Arabs used to say but for a life full of goodness. It remained us that we all depend on Allah. Nobody can harm or benefit anybody without Allh's will Hence it is a form of worship of Allah.""""""""Do you know what is SALAM?
The speaker is announcing that you will remain entirely unharmed and safe from me. We concludes that salam is a remembrance of Allah.expressions of love between Muslims.
