Did you get up today and say
"As-Salaamu Alaikum" to your mate or your youngster? Or then again
did you welcome them with a "Good day" or even an easygoing
"greetings"?
Have we been showing our youngsters
the significance of hello each other with salaam? Or on the other hand when we
watch them leave for school, do we send them off with a 'bye', rather than
"As-Salaamu Alaikum", the dua for harmony and gifts?
For a few of us, this may appear to be
a minor issue. Or then again it might even be a 'reformist' issue. In any case,
in our scurry to 'adjust', we fail to remember that colloquialism
"As-Salaamu Alaikum" is the best hello there might at any point be.
This was the training and instructing
of Prophet Muhammad (Sal Allaahu Alaihi wa Sallam), the best model for
humankind. Also, it was Allaah Himself that recommended the way of hello among
Muslims "As-Salaamu Alaikum" [not 'salaams' or 'good day' or 'hello'
or 'howdy' or whatever]
"At the point when the
individuals who trust in Our Ayaat (verifications, stanzas, signs, and so
forth) come to you, say: "Salaamun Alaikum" (harmony be on you)..…
" (Surah al-An'aam:54)
Ibn al-Qayyim says:
"Allaah, the Sovereign, the Most
Holy, the Peace, endorsed that the hello among individuals of Islam ought to be
'As-Salaamu Alaikum', which is superior to every one of the good tidings of
different countries which incorporate outlandish thoughts or untruths, like
saying, 'May you live for a very long time,' or things that are not exact, for
example, 'An'im sabaahan (Good morning),' or activities that are wrong, like
bowing in hello. In this manner the hello of salaam is superior to these, on
the grounds that it has the importance of security which is life, without which
nothing else can be accomplished… ." (Badaa'i' al-Fawaa'id)
"As-Salaamu Alaikum" is the
best Dua
The word 'salaam' comes from the root
'salema', which suggests to disassociate oneself from malevolence and damage.
Hence, when we welcome different Muslims, the hello signifies: "No damage
will come to you from me (may no malicious come to you, may no mischief come to
you)
What's more, since As-Salaam is
additionally one of the Beautiful Names of Allaah, the hello of salaam likewise
signifies, "May the gift of His Name slip upon you, may Allah be with you,
may Allah direct and ensure you."
Subhaan Allaah! What a wonderful
hello!
However, it is totally grievous to
see that a few of us have traded something so lovely for something revolting,
when we quit saying Assalaamu Alaikum and began with 'Good day' or 'Howdy'. It
is particularly pitiful to see a portion of our childhood, who don't have the
foggiest idea how to say the words unmistakably and appropriately. Some say
'Saakum", some murmur something unlimited softly and some don't try to say
anything by any means! Furthermore, on the off chance that they are in effect
truly pleasant to you, they could very well toss you a 'hello' from a remote
place.
And surprisingly those of us who do
say salaam, a few of us are so closefisted or reluctant in doing as such.
Despite the fact that, at the hour of the Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaihi wa
Sallam) the Sahaabah would rival each other to see who could give salaams
first. They would go to the market just to say salaam to individuals they knew
and to individuals they didn't have a clue.
The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaihi wa
Sallam) said: "The best of the two people is the person who starts with
salaam." (Related by an-Nawawi)

isn't superior to the final remaining one." (Abu Dawud and Tirmithi)
For what reason would you need to
quit any trace of something excellent for something monstrous??
It is dismal to see that with regards
to the questions of Dunya, we endeavor our most extreme to give our families
and companions the best. However with regards to good tidings, we fail to
remember the most excellent and thorough hello "As-Salaamu Alaikum",
which is additionally a supplication… .a petition of harmony and gift… .of
safety and insurance from all mischief and all malicious… ..a gift that Allaah
Himself sends down to His cherished slaves… … a hello of individuals of Jannah
itself.
Significant note: The head ought to
never be twisted or bowed as an indication of hello. We twist our heads just to
Allah. It should likewise be accentuated that other body motions in any
structure or shape (for instance, causing a stir, broadening the arms,
grinning, winking, and so forth) can't supplant the excellent hello of
"As-Salaamu Alaikum".
