DISSEMINATION OF SALAAM (GREETING)

When we want a person to join our front, we should go closer to him and negotiate him, keeping in our minds his tendencies and mental faculties, and to win his sympathy by extending our co-operation to him in his personal grievances, provided he likes such a gesture from you because service and cardiac attachment are such a function that lays down the foundation of friendship inadvertently. Propagate your religion but tactfully and judiciously. Don't attack directly on the tenets to which he is adherent. Your initial move should be around winning his sympathy and confidence. To achieve this goal, you should lend him a helping hand. When he reposes his trust in you, please start advising him in a Luscious and attractive style. If he counter-attacks you with some questions, satisfy him with your answers to your best. While talking to your addressee, don't ignore his mental capacity and as gush, don't waste your propagational talents through hasty, idiotic and irritative attitude. Converse with every individual, every group and every class within their thinking range and according to their ability and mental capacity and social position. Your propagational campaign should he laid down on to those points which are the conflict of your viewpoints and viewpoints of your addressee with mutual understanding and amenity. If you criticize, it should be constructive and indicative of your sincerity and love. Keep your image unmaligned with the sentiments of obduracy and obstinacy, hatred and bigotism. If you feel such sentiments emanating in your mind, lock your mouth and bid adieu to that sitting.

 

Allah says:

 

" Call to the way of your Lord with sapience and fair exhortation and argue with them in the batter way".

 

It is narrated by Hazrat Anas (R.A.) that the Prophet (P.B.U.H.) advised him emphatically saying:

 

"O Anas: When you enter your house, greet your family. It shall invoke the benediction for you and for your family. "

 

Asma D/o Yazeed says : I was sitting with some ladies and when the prophet (P.B.U.H) passed by us, he greeted us.

 

Hazrat Umme Hani says : I came to Prophet (P.B.U.H.) and greeted him. He questioned about me and when I introduced myself, he welcomed me.

 

 Our Prophet (P.B.U.H.) told:

" May I indicate you such a thing. whereby your mutual love and affection shall increase. Disseminate the greeting among you."

 

He (P.B.U.H.) also ordered

 

" Disseminate the Salaam (greeting) and you will be secured by Allah. "

 

A Muslim's right to his brother is to greet him whenever he meets him. The Prophet (P.B.U.H.) was greeting so more-often that when his followers disappeared if any tree came in between them, He (P.B.U.H.) used to greet them as soon as they made their appearance.

 

The Prophet (P.B.U.H.) said:

 

"The best of you (both) who greets first".

 

He ( P.B.U.H) also said:

 

"It is not decent for a Muslim to disconnect his brother for more than three days. When they meet, one turns his face in this direction and the other turns his face in that direction. while the best of them (both) who greets first".

 

Greet vocally and loudly so that it may be audible to the  greeted person. If you signal either your hand or head while greeting, if situation so warranted it is not unfair. This is on the presumption that the greeted person is so far from you that you think your voice out of his hearing range, or the greeted person is deaf and he can't hear your voice. Then you can signal with greeting.
