How Do You Greet in Islam? 
In Islam, greeting others is extremely important. But how do you greet people? Whether you are greeting a fellow Muslim or a non-Muslim, it is important to follow the correct protocol. Here are some tips to help you greet people correctly. Also read on to know how to greet the dead.
Greeting people with as-salamu ‘alaikum
The Muslim greeting as-salamu ‘al-aikum has its roots in the Quran and the Hadith. The Quran says that Muslims are obliged to return greetings with politeness. The Hadith book, Sahih al-Bukhari, also mentions this greeting. It is also used in the Quran to greet angels and prophets.
In Islam, greeting people with as-Salamu ‘alaik�m is a Sunnah. Responding to this greeting is Wajib, which means essential. When we respond to a greeting, we absolve ourselves of any sin and are no longer held responsible for any wrongdoing. Conversely, if we fail to respond, we are responsible for the sins of the whole group.
Greeting people with as-Salamu ‘alaik�m is a part of Islam’s daily routine. It is an expression of gratitude and love. It is one of the many ways Prophet Muhammad expressed his affection and love to other people. For true believers, the greeting is a prayer in itself. The intention is to shower benedictions upon other Muslims.
Greeting people with salaam
Greeting people with salaam is an important part of Islam. The phrase is associated with numerous important deeds, and is considered one of the foundational principles of Islam. There are three distinct forms of exchanging salaam. Each form has a specific grade, according to the extent of its use.
The first form, salaam, is required of Muslims, but not in every situation. In some cases, people do not return the salutation, or feel that it is rude to do so. In this case, it is recommended that Muslims return Salaams with a more appropriate greeting. The Prophet (s) taught Muslims to do this.
Other scholars of Islam, however, argue that initiating a salaam is not permitted. While this is generally understood as an honor, some scholars consider initiating a salaam with a non-Muslim to be an insult, and this practice is also frowned upon by some Muslims.
Greeting non-Muslims
In Islam, greeting non-Muslims is a social responsibility. Although the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) commanded Muslims to avoid greeting other people, there are several reasons for greeting people of other faiths. First of all, it is good for a Muslim to be the first to greet a non-Muslim. This shows a person’s sincerity and is often a sign of love and affection.
Second, greeting a non-Muslim with “peace” is considered a sign of respect and love. However, a Muslim who deliberately refrains from greeting a non-Muslim is disrespecting the other person, thereby violating the commandments of Islam.
Third, greeting non-Muslims requires a Muslim to say “wa alaikum,” which means “peace.” This is the correct response to the salaam used by most people, but Dr Zakir Naik argued that “wa alaikum” meant “peace” and that all Muslims should greet kaafirs with this greeting. In this article, we will discuss the differences between the two views, including quranic and hadith references.
Greeting the dead
Greeting the dead in Islam is considered a Sunnah. Prophet Muhammad taught us to greet the dead with the phrase “Alaikum.” In addition, the Prophet said that the act is Wajib, which means “essential.” Greeting the dead is a requirement for a Muslim and the act is not optional, because it absolves the individual of all responsibility. Otherwise, the whole group will be held accountable for its actions.
Islam teaches that Muslims should greet the dead, because this is a way to ask Allah for mercy. The deceased should be greeted as loudly as possible. In fact, some scholars have stated that the greeting should be heard with clarity. Greeting the dead also involves the Muslim presiding over the funeral service.
Greeting the dead in Islam is a sign of respect and honor. It is an honour to greet the dead in the presence of non-Muslims, as the Prophet said. However, the act is also a sign of humiliation for Muslims.
