greeting is something that you say
or do upon meeting someone
or passing by them.

When we say meet,
we mean come together

or come near.

Lesson 2: How the Islamic Greeting began.

Muslims have their own special way of greeting.
How do we know how to greet each other?
We can learn this by the Quraan or ahadith (or
sayings) of Allah’s Messenger, Prophet Muhammad

Sit back while your Ummy, Abi, or teacher reads to
you the story about the beginning of the Islamic, or
Muslim, greeting.

HOW THE SALAAM (GREETING) BEGAN.

Narrated Abu Hurairah [radhi-yAllâhu 'anhu]: The Prophet [sal-Allâhu
'alayhi wa sallam] said, "Allâh created Adam in His Image, sixty cubits
(about 30 meters) in height. When He created him, He said (to him), 'Go and
greet that group of angels sitting there, and listen what they will say in
reply to you, for that will be your greeting and the greeting of your
offspring.' Adam (went and) said, 'As-Salaamu 'Alaykum (peace be upon
you).' They replied, 'As-Salaamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullah (Peace and Allâh's
Mercy be on you).' So they increased 'wa Rahmatullah.'
