Ihyaaud Deen An Effort to Revive Deen in Totality

It has not only shown the path of peace during a person’s life, but has also shown how to show love and peace after a person’s demise.

Sunnats and Aadaab of Greeting (Salaam) – Part 4
1. When replying to the salaam, it is permissible for you to reply with a salaam that is equal to the greeting received. However, if you reply with a longer salaam it will be better and more rewarding. For example, if you were greeted with the words “Assalaamu alaikum”, then you may reply by saying “Wa alaikumus salaam”. However, it is better and more rewarding for you to say “Wa alaikumus salaam wa rahmatullah” or “Wa alaikumus salaam wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuhu.”
