Greeting the muslim.

[Ismail Dalbani]

Among the rights of the muslim upon the muslim mentioned by the prophet in his statement:"When you meet him, give him the greeting of peace by saying "as-salamu ^alaykum" or "as-salamu ^alaykum warahmatul-lahi wabarakatuh". This is a recommended matter and not an obligation. Verily the greeting of peace is a cause of love and supporting one another. The Prophet (salla Allahu 'alayhi wasallam) said: <<By the One in Whose control is my soul, you will not enter Paradise until you believe, and you will not have all the qualities of the righteous believers until you love each other. Shall I not direct you to something that if you do it, you will love each other? Spread the greeting of peace amongst yourselves.>>Narrated by Muslim.
