Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah ..!
Praise belongs to Allah, we praise him, and we ask him for guidance and forgiveness. And we seek protection in Allah from the malice of our own souls, and the evil of our actions. and I bear witness that Muhammad (Peace Be upon Him) is his slave and Messenger.
Islam Teach us, When we meet with a Muslim Brother or A sister or Friend, Best thing Could do give Salaam To Each Other. Apparently by Doing this you Actually asking, May Allah Peace and Bless for each other. SubhanAllah! What Else Could be the better option for the greeting Except this? We can give Salam Instead of saying Hello On Phone. That is really great. Every Time we will do this, We will get the reward from two sides. Firstly we are Asking Good for each Another. Secondly, we are Trying to Keep Alive A Sunnah Of our Beloved Prophet Muhammad ( Peace Be upon Him).
= Abdullah bin 'Amr bin Al-'as (May Allah be pleased with them) reported:
A man asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ): "Which act in Islam is the best?" He (ﷺ) replied, "To give food, and to greet everyone, whether you know or you do not."[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]. Ref: Sunnah.com Book 6, Hadith 1, Arabic Book: Book 6, Hadith 845
I Have a story to share, That I had been experienced in my life. Well, basically two, First one is a positive story, the Second one is bit upsetting but still good for learning. Well, When I was in the village, Used to go to School by riding a bicycle. There was Driver on the same road, used to drive a Mini Truck So roughly. My Father told me to Give him Salam & I did that. After that, He always gave me a bit more space when we cross each other.
On the other hand, I had a Bad experience about salam too, well it really not about salam, actually better to say "a Bad salam giver". He gave me salam and talking like you look like my Younger brother. That Time I already Beard so He said his Younger Bro have Beard like me and some other stuff. In this way, he took me away from the public and Hijack Money. After the incident I left off the habit for few to giving Extra Salaam, May Almighty forgive me. But later on, I realize I'm doing wrong. Random bad person's Behalf cannot take away from the Sunnah Of Beloved Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be upon Him).
Actually, The incident Not a big deal anymore but it opens my Eyes. Now I try To Give salam as much as possible, And alhamdulillah I get amazing feedback. More amazing thing is that sometimes I receive salam from Such a person that holds me to think like why I wasn't First Here.
Well, After Having a Long post, All I wanna make a request Lets Try try to give salam More and more, let's be a part of those people who will be blessed on the day of judgment for keeping alive a Sunnah of Our Propet (PBUH), Let's Make people surprise by giving A salam without spending money or giving heavy gift. Really It amazing and it will amaze you when you will receive from such a person you never expected. May Allah give us the Strength to follow More more Sunah
ZazakAllah Khair
