But why?
Salaam is a special greeting that Allah gave us, and in the Quran He calls it blessed and good. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us that saying salaam to each other helps us love each other. A kind greeting and a happy smile make people feel safe and loved.
“Shall I not tell you of something which, if you do it, you will love one another? Spread the greetings of Salam amongst yourselves.”
