Advantages of saying As-Salaamu Alaikum
Saying As-Salaamu Alaikum has a number of benefits, some of which are listed below:
- Saying As-Salaamu Alaikum earns you a lot of rewards.
- Salaam is a part of Imaan. When a man asked the Holy Prophet (SAW) which component of Islam is the best, he responded, “Feeding the needy and giving salaam to those you know and those you don’t know.” (Bukhari)
- Our beloved Prophet (SAW) stated, “When two Muslims meet (say salaam), shake hands, and separate (with each other), their sins are pardoned.”
(Abu Dawud) As a result, we can say that As-Salaamu Alaikum is a means of purging sins.
Read 7 Sunnah of eating- Revive a Sunnah - Saying salaam is a way of gaining entry to Jannah. “You will not reach Paradise until you believe, and you will not believe until you love one another,” Allah’s Messenger (SAW) declared. Should I not inform you about something that will make you love each other if you do it? Spread salaam (peace greetings) among you.” (Muslim)
- Allah Almighty states in the Holy Quran, “Then those who feared their Lord shall be driven into Paradise in groups.” When they get close enough, the gates will be opened, and the keepers will greet them with “Salaamun ‘Alaikum,” you have done well. “Enter and live in it for the rest of your life.” (39:73 in the Quran). Salaam is the salutation of the people of Jannah, according to this passage of the Noble Quran.
- Salaam is a way of exchanging peace and blessings
- Giving Salam is Sunnah, our Prophet (SAW) used to give Salam
In a nutshell, Salaam is a blessing that Allah Almighty sent down for us, and we should use it to gain Allah Almighty’s blessings. Salaam is also a source of reducing arrogance and allowing us to get closer to one another. May Allah Almighty assist us in reviving the Sunnah of greeting one another with “As-Salaamu Alaikum”! Ameen
