(ISLAM) Greetings in the light of the Quran

 

Greetings, in the light of the Quran

 

- When a (courteous) greeting is offered to you, meet it with a greeting still more courteous, or (at least) of equal courtesy [4:86]

 

- When you enter houses, greet each other with salaam (i.e. a prayer for the safety, security and well-being of each other), invoking Allah's blessings and countless pleasures [24:61]

 

- Enter not houses other than your own, until you have asked permission and greeted with salaam (i.e. a prayer for the safety, security and well-being of) those in them [24:27]

 

- When the believers come to you, greet them by saying "May peace and Allah's Rahmah be upon you" [6:54]

 

- When you come across people who personify the characteristics of Jahlia (pre-Islamic era) such as ignorance, bigotry, enmity, fierceness, wickedness, excitability,  show them true Islamic qualities (of peace, open heartedness, leniency and generosity) [25:63]

 

- Always keep in mind that your time and energy is not to be wasted in useless and frivolous matters.  If per chance you pass by a place where such a conversation is going on,  just turn away quietly and gracefully (25:72), telling those people, "Unto us shall be accounted our deeds and unto you your deeds.  We cannot take part in what you are doing.  However our hope is that you should remain in peace and well being; but after seeing and knowing what you all are doing, we cannot join a group of ignorant people" [28:55]

 

- If anyone sends you an offer of peace do not say to him "you are not sincere in your offer" [4:94]
