I’m non-Muslim, but I have many Muslim friends, and I have lived with a Muslim family.

Indeed, it is your greeting and the greeting of your descendents”. The authors are not responsible or liable for the intentional, reckless, or negligent actions of any individual. They view the non-Jews as pseudo-animals. Greeting is a moral act, a way of acknowledging presence, showing respect and courtesy.

Ik zie al die talloze PVV-lovers op deze website, al klaarzitten, naast hun computer of laptopschermen, klaar om iets pikants te schrijven, zodra ze die woorden: *Salaam Aleikum* zien/lezen!.

The majority said that it is obligatory

2. The Quran reminds believers to reply to a greeting with one of equal or greater value: "When a courteous greeting is offered you, meet it with a greeting still more courteous, or at least of equal courtesy. In Israël wordt sjalom op dezelfde wijze gebruikt als salaam in de Arabische landen. Swaam Alaik, since the real salaam way is Assalaam wa-alaikum wa rahmatulla………… but could give me the real meaning of above 4 kinds of incomplete salaams. Some of the members of the group believe one can say “Wa’alaikumus-Salam’ (Peace be upon you also) only, without warahmatullah (And Allah’s Mercy) while majority of them believe the response should be according to the greeting.

I know namaste literary means just ‘I bow to you but some people give complex backgrounds like ‘The God in me bows down to the God in You’ etc. Common in the Arab world, the greeting was one of the few linguistic conventions of Eastern or "orthodox" Islam that the Nation retained in its original, Arabic form. It’s all up to you. I wonder, should I initiate a greeting? I am from India and from a Hindu dominated area. Shaykh Abdul-Azeez Bin Baaz while commenting on the Hadith earlier stated, said: “This indicates that we respond to them if they initiate it.

Also if by chance he lead the paryer in jamah (Since he is a senior guy and know how to pray), we should have to avoid him or leave the jamah. Yet a third group takes a midway position by saying when conditions call for it or make it necessary, Muslims may initiate the greeting of salaam.

Enter it to remain [forever].’”. I’m really glad to see it esp. Furthermore, the Quran states that "peace" is the greeting that angels will extend to believers in Paradise: “Their greeting therein will be, 'Salaam! The name "al-Salaam" is a Name of Allaah, may He be exalted, so the meaning of the greeting of salaam which is required among Muslims is, “May the blessing of His Name descend upon you.” The usage of the preposition ‘ala in ‘alaykum (upon you) indicates that the greeting is inclusive. I’ve come across Christians who read the Islamic writings i share and respond with kind words and enthusiasm.

My quandary is the ‘correctness’ of me (a non-Muslim, or “kafir” if you will) to initiate Islamic greetings of peace Assalamu alaikum to my Muslim friends. That being said, does saying salam to a non-Muslim in the singular imply that they are not accompanied by angels? This group go further to assert that the salaam that Prophet Ibrahim (Peace be upon him) said to his father in Qur’an 19:47 was a mere farewell and good will, and it was not meant as a greeting. This view tries to reconcile between the first two. Allah takes careful account of all things" (4:86). Please clarify my doubts. The phrase appears a total of 7 times in the Quran, each time as salamun ʿalaykum (Arabic: سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ‎). one did not address a woman unless one had to.

They say [to them], ‘Peace be to you!

Questions cannot be asked through this form. Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: they differed as to

Even then they view the convert as a person who was already a Jew and the conversion revealed what was hidden.

In my view, when you speak and exemplify the best in Islam… it can only be good. If this reason is not there, and the Jew or Christian says, Salaam H/K/Saheeh And the servants of the Most Merciful are those who walk upon the earth easily, and when the ignorant address them [harshly], they say [words of] peace, Malik True servants of the Compassionate (Allah) are those who walk on the earth in humility and when the ignorant people address them, they say: “Peace;”[63]. Before I met some of my Muslim friends, I’d generally meet snide comments about Islam with indifference. Therefore, this paper attempts to x-ray the actual facts about the subject from the Qur’an and Sunnah, and to clarify which opinion may be stronger or more applicable to our contemporary context. When he wants to get up and leave, let him say 'Peace'. I was worried that I was offending them.

and this is the correct view. please try to reply me on email.

The believers are mirrors for each other. Islam, as a comprehensive way of life also recognizes this norm as a right, and goes to the extent of specifying how it should be done: ‘Assalamu alaikum’ meaning ‘peace be upon you’ or more perfectly: ‘Assalamu alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa barakatuh’ meaning “Peace, Mercy and Blessings of Allah be upon you”.

Sufyan At-Thawri was reported to have said “If you see a man doing something over which there is difference of opinion among scholars, and which you believe to be forbidden, you should not forbid him from doing it“, He also said: “If you say salaam (to the non-Muslims), then surely (some) pious people did the same, and if you don’t, indeed, (some) pious people did same.”. It is not necessary to reply a typed salaam whether that be by email or other forms of instant messenger. So if this friend of yours is acting that much friendly and wants to greet you with your Islamic culture do treat him/her in the same way and DO translate it for him/her.
