Do you actually give salam to the people that walks right next to you?Would it harm you to give salam to a muslim? Would it cost you anything by giving a salam to a muslim? Why am i asking these such things is because, nowadays most people would only give salam to the people they know or they recognize. What about the others? Our brothers and sisters who are muslims? Shouldn't we greet them by giving salam?
Abu
Hurairah (ra) related that Rasulullah (saw) said, "You shall not enter
Heaven unless you have Faith and your Faith is not complete until you
show love towards one another. Would you want me to show you how you can
achieve this? Shower your Salam upon one another."
When we give a salam to another muslim, and the other muslim answers it,we are actually praying for each others peace in life. By that our relationship will become closer. See! You're not only creating a bond and making friends but you're also gaining deeds by giving a salam. Don't wait for others to greet you, you gotta start it first.
Give salam to others. do it for the sake of Allah. For the girls, i know most of the guys would give a salam to tackle right? Whether his intention is good or bad, just answer him for the sake of Allah. Who knows you might end up being with him for the rest of your life. hehe. owh and there's also one thing i would like to share here. Sheikh Abdulbary did also said about giving gifts to our love ones.
Aishah(ra) related, "Rasuluallah(saw) received and gave gifts."
Abu
Hurairah(ra) related that Rasulullah (saw) said, "Let the one who is
driving give salam to the one walking; let the one who is walking give
the salam to the one sitting; let those who are small in number (or
alone) give salam to those who are in a larger group and let the younger
one give salam to the elderly."
