Question:
The issue of those previous statements is secondary. They claim that there is a god, the god of light, who is the god of good, and we said the god of evil. So what is the origin of the phrase "good morning" or "good evening" that is widespread on the tongues of many people?
Answer:
It is an abbreviation. Their intention is "May Allah give you a morning of good" or "May Allah give you an evening of good," but they abbreviate it and say "good morning" or "good evening." This is the abbreviation. They do not intend to hold the belief of the Majus.
