Narrated Abdullah bin Amr رضي الله عنه : A man asked Allah’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم “Which act in Islam is the best?” The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم replied “To give food, and to salute everyone, whether you know them or not.” [by Al-Bukhari & muslim]
Commentary:
Asslam(peace) is one of the names of Allah. To say Asslam (peace be upon you) means that you are in the protection of Allah, as Allah be with you or in your company. To feed the poor and the destitute is an act of goodness, and the fulfillment of the needs of the indigent is of the same order. Greeting everybody (saying ‘As-Salamu ‘Alaikum’), whether an acquaintance or a strange, is a good quality too. Both these acts generate mutual love and remove hatred & ill-will from hearts. All other ways of greeting are no substitute for Islamic way of greeting.
There are three forms for Asslam:
1-Asslamu alaykum (peace be upon you)
2-Asslamu alaykum wa Rahmatu Allah (peace & mercy of Allah be upon you.
3-Asslamu alaykum wa Rahmatu Allah wa Barakatuh(peace , mercy and blessing of Allah be upon you)
The best form to be much rewarded is the complete one.
Instructions:
1-Delivering Asslam is sunnah (optional) but its response is obligatory.
2-Good morning or good afternoon is not the Islamic greeting .
3-We should greet whom we know and whom we do not know.
4-It is permissible to greet by gesture while uttering Asslam(if the other person cannot hear you)
5-We should start phone talk with Asslam.
6-We would say Asslam when we are leaving.
