OMG Nope. Do a research. If a non-muslim says salam to you, you should say Wa Alaikum. Here’s the reason, as far as I know.

Salam means peace. Saam means death. In old days, kaafirs used to come to Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) and other sahabas and used to say (on purpose) “Saama Alaikum” (death be upon you). Sometimes it was so hard to distinguish whether they said Assalam-o-Alaikum or Saam-o-Alaikum. Therefore. the reply in return used to be “Wa alaikum” (on you too). So if they said peace be upon you, the reply would be on you too, and if they said death be upon you, the reply would be on you too. Whatever they sent on Muslims was sent back on them in return.

Like I said, it’s not something bad to say “Wa Alaikum” because it means on you too, just like when someone says have a good day, you say “you too” and we don’t think it’s bad because it’s not. It’s just a shortcut.

This is the reason I’ve been told by teachers. Aagey Allah ko pata.

:k: shikra.
