Introduction
Just as the face is the index to the mind, in the same way the words of greetings which are
exchanged amongst people indicate the spiritual role of a society. The gestures, and the expressions of
salutations are, therefore, the indicators of the ideals for which a particular society stands. The
common practice with the pre-Islamic Arabs and the modern West is to greet one another with Good
Morning and Good Evening accompanied by a gesture of the hand or the nodding of head. These
words have no spiritual and moral significance, but just a wish that one should find one's mornings
and evenings happy. The words of greeting which Islam has exhorted its followers to use at the time of
meeting are as-Salam-u-'Alaikum which have a deep spiritual and moral significance behind them
Since the predominant feature of Islamic faith and practice is peace within and peace without, it has,
therefore, been made a watchword which should be repeated on every occasion when two Muslims
meet so that the utmost importance of peace should be constantly inculcated in the mind of every
Muslim, and he should have full consciousness of the great reality that he lives in this world as a
messenger of peace for mankind. peace amongst individuals and nations. -The second important
feature of words of greeting in Islam is that they convey the message of peace not only to the person
who is greeted but to the whole of the Muslim society as it is the plural pronoun that is used for the
blessing of peace. (The pronoun'Alaikum has a evry wide range and all the Muslims come within its
orbit.)
The two words as-Salam-u-'Alaikum may be called the irreducible minimum which are essential for
greeting one another. The Muslims have been commanded to add to this expression some other words
with a view to excelling one another in showering blessing upon the Muslims. The words as-Salam-
u-'Alaikum are generally suffixed with these words Rahmat Allah wa Barakaatuh (mercy of Allah and
His bleasings). These three words:" peace..., mercy" and" blessings of Allah" in fact form the sum and
substance of Islam and the Muslims are asked to shower upon one another these benedictions. so that
they may be able to live in this world and the Hereafter in perfect peace and tranquillity and blessings
and mercy of Allah around him.
According to Imam Nawawl, greeting with the words of as-Salam-u-'Alaikum is a Sunnah, and
responding to it is Wajib (obligatory), but this essentiality is of the nature of Kifaya, meaning thereby
that if a few persons out of the whole assembly or group respond to the greeting it will absolve all of
the responsibility of response but if no response comes forth from any quarter all are held responsible
for it.

said: I simply denied having said it. Abu Salama sad: By my life, Abu Huraira in fact used to report

one.
