In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Kind
Assalamu alaykum Wa Rahmutallahi Wa Barakhatu Yaa Ummati

Muhammad, Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him said None of you believes till I am dearer to him than his father, his child and all mankind.
(Bukhari, Muslim).

Those who are nearest to God are they who are first to give a salutation.
(Ahmad, Tirmidhi, Abu Dawud).

When you go into your family, give a salutation. It will be a blessing both to you and to your family.(Tirmidhi).

The God's messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) passed a mixed company of Muslims, polytheists who worshipped idols and Jews and he gave them a salutation.(Bukhari, Muslim).

There are six good qualities which one believer should display to another; he should visit him when he is ill, be present when he dies, accept his invitation when he gives one, salute him when he meets him, say 'God have mercy on you' when he sneezes and act sincerely towards him whether he is absent or present. :)

"Heaven under the Mother's Feet" :inlove: :love: that is so beautiful :)

I think d drinking is, drink in 3 sips and say "Alhamdulillah" after each sip. *i think* :)

[.: Anna :.]

i think it just means like we're part of Allah's creation....& all creatures are, so treat em nice and dont like squash insects for no reason etc...NOT in the christian "son of God" kinda way!!!!

the drinking...ya mean like say alhamdulillah after every 3 sips? am sure ma teacher must hav explained in the lesson else i wudnt have written it...but i can't remember!!
cos normally w@ i just do is "bismillah" or "bismillahirahmaan arraheem" drink it :p "alhamdulillahi aladhy attamaana hadha wa razaqeenee wa ghayr hawla minee wa la quwwa"

Words to be used for offering Greetings
It is recommended for the one offering greetings to say: `As-Salamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu'. The reply is `Wa `Alaikum us-Salamu wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu.'

851. `Imran bin Husain (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: A man came to the Prophet (PBUH) and said: "As-Salamu `Alaikum (may you be safe from evil). Messenger of Allah (PBUH) responded to his greeting and the man sat down. The Prophet (PBUH) said, "Ten (meaning the man had earned the merit of ten good acts).'' Another one came and said: "As-Salamu `Alaikum wa Rahmatullah (may you be safe from evil, and Mercy of Allah be upon you).'' Messenger of Allah (PBUH) responded to his greeting and the man sat down. Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "Twenty.'' A third one came and said: "As-Salamu `Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu (may you be safe from evil, and the Mercy of Allah and His Blessings be upon you).'' Messenger of Allah (PBUH) responded to his greeting and the man sat down. Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "Thirty.''
[Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi].

Commentary: This Hadith shows that we can earn ten-fold good rewards by greeting a person in the Islamic way. There will be a further ten-fold addition to it if we say, "As-Salamu `Alaikum wa Rahmatullah". may you be safe from evil, and the Mercy of Allah be upon you). And if we say, "As-Salamu `Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu'' may you be safe from evil, and the Mercy of Allah and His Blessings be upon you), thirty-fold good reward comes to us. But Ahadith are silent on increasing more words to Salam. So this much will suffice.

852. `Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said to me, "This is Jibril (Gabriel) who is conveying you greetings of peace.'' I responded: "Wa `Alaihis-Salamu wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu (may he be safe from evil, and the Mercy of Allah and His Blessings be upon him).''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Commentary: This Hadith affirms the excellence of `Aishah (May Allah be pleased with him). It also tells us how to respond to the Salam of a third person, that is, we should say, "Wa `Alaihis-Salamu wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu.'

853. Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported the Prophet (PBUH) used to repeat his words thrice so that the meaning thereof would be fully understood, and whenever he came upon a gathering of people, he would greet them. He would repeat Salam thrice.
[Al-Bukhari].

Commentary: This Hadith tells us about one aspect of the Prophet's excellent manners that he would take due care of showing regard for the sentiments of people. The whole of a gathering is not supposed to hear the Salam of somebody and respond to him. A single person can represent the gathering in this regard. Yet, it was characteristic benevolence of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) which prompted him to repeat his saying "As-Salamu `Alaikum'' thrice so that everybody would hear it and may not have a feeling of being neglected.

854. Al-Miqdad (May Allah be pleased with him) reported in course of a long Hadith: We used to reserve for the Prophet (PBUH) his share of the milk, and he would come at night and offer greetings in such a manner as did not disturb those asleep and was heard only by those who were awake. In fact, the Prophet (PBUH) came and offered greetings as usual.
[Muslim].

Commentary: Herein, we are told how to offer Salam to people when some of them are asleep while others are awake. Our voice should be so low so as not to disturb those who are asleep and to give a chance to those who are awake to respond to it.

855. Asma' bint Yazid (May Allah be pleased with her) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) passed through the mosque one day and there was a group of women (about ten of them) sitting in the mosque. He raised his hand to offer greetings.
[At-Tirmidhi].

Commentary: To offer As-Salam by the gesture of hand from a distance is forbidden in Islam because it is the way of non-Muslims. However, it is allowed if words are also uttered along with it. Secondly, Messenger of Allah (PBUH) could greet women because he was sinless and permanently stood under Allah's Protection. Yet, it is not permissible to other men for the fear of provoking temptation. But this Hadith can be carried into effect in case one feels that no temptation and evil will be involved in it. For example, a man can greet aged and respectable women. However, Salam to young women is not allowed as it can give birth to wickedness.

856. Abu Juraiy Al-Hujaimi (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I saw Messenger of Allah (PBUH) and said: "Alaikas-Salamu ya Rasulallah! (Upon you be peace, O Messenger of Allah)!'' He said, "Do not say: `Alaikas-Salamu (Upon you be peace).' This is the Salam to the dead.''
[Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi].

Commentary: This is part of a long Hadith which has been mentioned earlier on. Refer to Hadith 796 and the commentary following it.

Yes, but what is the greeting that a muslim should use when greeting a nonmuslim? we can't start with salaam alaikum can we? if a nonmuslim is in a multicultural mood and decides to say "salam alaikum" to a muslim........then should the muslim return the salaam, knowing the person is a kaafir or mushrik?

I'm asking this cuz many of us live or work in areas where their are nonmuslim and we often need to greet them at one point or another........what shall we say in that case?

salaams sis

i think i read a fatwa about this b4...i'll see if i can find it in a min inshallah, but i think it said there is no harm in returning their greeting...aslong as they actually said "salaam" (not saam cos some jews in the old times used 2 say assaaamu alaykum instead, and if the person was not sure if they said salaam or saaam then they should just reply "wa alaykum" cos saaam i think is like curse or something along those lines)
but we dont have to, or shouldnt, initiate the greeting with non muslims.
personally, i know someone did say salaam properly i will reply to them, like this girl @ ma work who always says it to me :)
also i'm pretty sure there is hadith saying we have a duty to return the salaams with either an equal greeting or a better one, although if that just applies to muslims i'm not sure....
anyway...ill look for the fatwa inshallah :up: :D
(btw if they dont say assalaamu alaykum to you first, you could probly use something like "hello" i guess...:confused: )

[.: Anna :.]

ok well i couldnt find the fatwa yet....found this though :p cos i remembered askin this Q before

[AbuMubarak]

the purpose of this post was to tell muslims to shy away from such meaningless words as good bye and hello and hi

and to encourage the muslims to exchange the salaams when greeting and leaving and leave off the khuda hafiz

as far as greeting the kuffar, thats an entirely different topic, which has been discussed here before

[outlandish]

Khuda Hafiz is like a dua as well, not like hello or hi,so dont really see anything wrong in that..

[AbuMubarak]

outlandish

tell me the thawab you get in saying khudah or if khuda is one of Allah's names, or anything good about saying khuda

Best adaab for drinking water. :)

1: Make sure the water is not too hot nor too cold.

2: Sit down facing the Kaa'ba.

3: Say bismillah before drinking.

4: Do not breath into the water.

5: Drink in sips, don't down it in one gulp.

6: Say alhamdullillah when you have finished.

Reported from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that a man passed by the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) whilst he was sitting with some others, and said “Salaam ‘alaykum (peace be upon you).” The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, “[He will have] ten hasanaat (rewards).” Another man passed by and said “Salaam ‘alaykum wa rahmat-Allaah (peace be upon you and the mercy of Allaah).” The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, “[He will have] twenty hasanaat.” Another man passed by and said “Salaam ‘alaykum wa rahmat-Allaahi wa Barakatuh (peace be upon you and the mercy of Allaah and His blessings).”The Prophet(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, “[He will have] thirty hasanaat.”
