Greetings Of Peace
By Zainab Habib
The Islamic way – whenever Muslims meet,
They greet each other with salutations of peace
.............When God sent Adam (as) to greet the angels, He said:
..........“Their reply will be yours and your offspring’s as well.”
“Assalaamu ‘Alaikum” to the angels Adam (as) said
“Assalamu ‘Alaika wa Rahmatullah” they said
.............“Peace be upon you,” was what Adam (as)said
.............“Peace and God’s mercy be upon you” they said.
‘As-Salaam’ is God’s attribute, so when you say this
It’s a supplication as well as remembrance of Him.
.............It’s also a pact, this simple exchange
...........“We’ll steer clear of causing each other any pain.”
“Oh brother of mine, you’ll be safe from me.”
“No harm from my hand or tongue will there be.”
.............Our Prophet (saw) has told us, so we must do so
.............Greet those we know and those we don’t know
Of the rights Muslims have on each other, one is this
To greet them and answer the greeting they give
.............To not do so, amounts to being miserly
.............A good Muslim just [..cont.]
