Hadith of the Day - October 24th, 2008

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle said, "The riding person should greet the walking one, and the walking one should greet the sitting one, and the small number of persons should greet the large number of persons." [Bukhari]

Another narration also adds, "The younger person should greet the older one."


This is just one small reason of many reasons why we call Islam the religion of peace. Rasulullah (saw) even taught us simple etiquette such as who should greet whom first.

Salaamu alaikum muhammad.
One of the sunnah's that are fading from our lives is the Islamic greetings of peace, Now days salaam has been restricted to only those whom we know. We should greet each muslim, it brings us closer us ummah. It binds us together and reminds us that we are one ummah despite the mess that we are in.
