Question : What is the prescribed form of the salam? One of you, please, share what you know.
Answer : Well done, may Allah bless you. The salam is "As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh." Now, I have found people who say "Marhaban" (Hello) instead of the salam. Yes? It is not the salam. Even if they fill the air, the land, and the sea with it, the word "Marhaban" is not the salam. And the one who teaches his children the salam says, "Say bye-bye." Now, what does that mean? Yes, it means "goodbye." Did he teach them the Islamic etiquettes? No, he did not teach them.
