Mufti Menk – Greeting People in a Good Way

00:00:00 --> 00:00:01

To be able to greet

00:00:01 --> 00:00:04

is an islamic teaching. To be able to

00:00:04 --> 00:00:05

respond to a greeting

00:00:06 --> 00:00:09

is a quranic injunction. You have to. Someone

00:00:09 --> 00:00:11

says, Assalamu alaykum. You like it or you

00:00:11 --> 00:00:12

don't like it, you have to say, Wa

00:00:12 --> 00:00:14

Alaikum Assalam. The minimum.

00:00:14 --> 00:00:16

You like it or you don't like it,

00:00:16 --> 00:00:17

you have to say Wa Alaikum Assalam. The

00:00:17 --> 00:00:18

minimum.

00:00:20 --> 00:00:21

May Allah grant us acceptance.

00:00:22 --> 00:00:22

Why?

00:00:23 --> 00:00:25

Why do we say that's the minimum? The

00:00:25 --> 00:00:25

minimum because

00:00:27 --> 00:00:29

someone made a prayer for you, may peace

00:00:29 --> 00:00:30

be upon you. Wow,

00:00:31 --> 00:00:33

what an amazing way of greeting people. May

00:00:33 --> 00:00:34

peace

00:00:34 --> 00:00:36

be upon you. I'm in search of peace,

00:00:36 --> 00:00:39

so are you. May peace be upon you.

00:00:39 --> 00:00:39

Assalam.

00:00:40 --> 00:00:42

All types of peace. I pray that you

00:00:42 --> 00:00:44

have good health, I pray that you have

00:00:44 --> 00:00:47

contentment, I pray that everything goes good for

00:00:47 --> 00:00:48

you, you have a good job, I pray

00:00:48 --> 00:00:51

that you get, you know, sustenance from Allah,

00:00:51 --> 00:00:53

your worries are taken care of by Allah,

00:00:53 --> 00:00:56

difficulty is taken away from you, and so

00:00:56 --> 00:00:58

and so much more. I pray for that,

00:00:58 --> 00:01:00

and the blessings and the mercy of Allah

00:01:00 --> 00:01:02

upon you. That's a Muslim when I'm just

00:01:02 --> 00:01:03

saying, Hi.

00:01:04 --> 00:01:05

That's what it is.
