A tiny greeting with a big reward. Return Salam with kindness, and feel the difference! A Lesson from Surah Baqarah and Hadith. In Islam, the simple yet powerful act of greeting one another with "Salam" (peace) holds profound significance. It is not just a polite gesture, but a reflection of the values that shape the Muslim community. This is beautifully highlighted in the 86th verse of Surah Al-Baqarah: "And when you are greeted with a greeting, greet with a better one or return it with the same. Indeed, Allah is ever, over all things, an Accountant۔" (Al-Baqarah 2:86) This verse teaches us the importance of greeting others with peace and kindness, and even encouraging us to return a greeting with something better. It signifies the beauty of spreading peace, fostering unity, and creating an environment of warmth and goodwill within the community. Prophet Muhammad ﷺ emphasized this act in numerous Hadiths. He ﷺ said: "You will not enter Paradise until you believe, and you will not believe until you love one another. Shall I not tell you something which, if you do it, you will love one another? Spread Salam among yourselves." (Sahih Muslim) These teachings show that "Salam" is not just a greeting; it’s a means of cultivating love, strengthening bonds, and embodying the true spirit of Islam. Small Deeds, Big Impact Often, we overlook the smaller deeds thinking they hold little value, but Islam teaches us that even the smallest acts of goodness, like offering a "Salam" carry great weight in the sight of Allah. They contribute to building a harmonious society, where peace reigns and hearts are united. Let us try to be people who spread peace wherever we go. Start by offering "Salam" to your neighbors, friends, and even strangers. Reflect on its deeper meaning and the positive impact it can have on our lives and the lives of others.
