A board that instructs how to say Salaam correctly Passing by one of
the lanes in theold part of town I spotted this board. The hoarding
installed in front of one of the oldest talkies in the city, tells how
to say the Salam [Salaam] correctly.
The scripts reads, 'Salam ka sahihtariiqa' or the 'Right way of
greeting the other person'.
It is 'Assalam-o-Alaikum' or 'Assalamu-Alaikum', not Salam Alaikum.
And the reply is Walaikum Assalam.
As the words are in Arabic, it is possible that people may not know
the exact pronunciation. I've commonly heard 'Assalam-Walaikum' also.
It can be a religious issue, just a linguistic exercise or an age-old
habit due to which people only greet others with the first half of the
sentence, as if they are in a hurry.
I haven't seen such boards and hence took the photograph. Apart from
Urdu, it also mentionsthe correct 'Salam' in devnagari [Hindi script].
As far as the meaning goes, it is 'Peace be upon you' and the reply is
'So be on you'.
For people with roots in Awadh [region around Lucknow], we were always
more accustomed with the 'secular' Adab [pronunciation: Aadaab]. It
still comes more natural to me. Just like Khuda Hafiz, which I am more
comfortable though most of my acquaintances now say Allah Hafiz.
The board is installed over a kebab seller's shop. It might get a new
banner or hoarding any day, as these days flex advertising banners
have almost pushed painters out of the job, as they can be easily be
preparedand put up. Hence, I thought, I should click the photo.
Enough words for a post now. Hope I haven't put you in a fix and you
are not thinking whether you spell out the Salam correctly/

*- WHAT ISLAM SAYS -*
-
Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-
