Re: Peace instead of Salam
There is no replacement for Salaam, what peace or what any other greeting ?? Does those greetings means ALLAH BLESS YOU ??
Definitely NO.. Hazrat Muhammed (S.A.W.) used to say “ASSALAAM-O-ALAIKUM” which means Tum per Salaamti ho.. Istlaahi meanings “Tum per ALLAH ki rehmat ho”
We Are MUSLIMS and our belief or Preaching should not get out of the TRUE PATH…
Quran says:
When those who believe in Our Ayat come to you, say: “Assalamun 'Alaikum” ; your Lord has written (prescribed) Mercy for Himself, so that if any of you does evil in ignorance, and thereafter repents and does righteous good deeds (by obeying Allah), then surely, He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
Reference: [Surat-ul-Inam 6:54]
&
And verily, there came Our messengers to Ibrahim (Abraham) with glad tidings. They said: Salam! He answered, Salam! and he hastened to entertain them with a roasted calf.
Reference: [Surah-e-Hud 11:69]
So what good is it in saying other greetings ?? and why Do we have problem with paying Salaam ??
