Sayap Timur

assalamualaikum..

this have to be the first post i have to write…. but because i have so many post already i think it is better than not to post at all… and i want to explain the meaning of this (or these) word(s) for my friend in Japan…

Salam is an Arabic way to greet of peace and showing respect to others and it have the meaning “peace”.
As-Salāmu `Alaykum (السلام علÙ� كم) is an Arabic language greeting used in Muslim cultures. It means “Peace be upon you.” It is also transliterated as Assalamu ‘Alaikum or As-salaamu Alaikum. The traditional response is “wa `Alaykum As-Salām“, meaning “and on you be peace”.
The greeting is almost always accompanied by a handshake (when exchanged between persons of the same gender). The exception is Eid (that marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan), when the hand shake is customarily preceded by three embraces. This practice however is not based on any Islamic ruling.
In addition, wa-Raḥmatu llāhi wa-Barakātuhu means “and the Mercy of God and His blessing”. The response to this greeting is wa-‘Alaykum us-Salām wa-Raḥmatu llāhi wa-Barakātuhu –”And on you be the Peace and Mercy of God and His Blessing”.
The term in Arabic uses the second person plural, even when used to address one person, similar to the use of vous in French. However the term may also be used addressing a person in the singular form both masculine and feminine, the dual form, or the feminine plural. This is how they are said:

As-Salāmu `Alayk(a)—Peace be upon you (m. sing.)
As-Salāmu `Alayk(i)—Peace be upon you (f. sing)
As-Salāmu `Alaykunn(a)—Peace be upon you (f. plural)

(Note: According to classical Arabic pronunciation, the last letter in each word is not pronounced unless it is followed by another word.)

Similarly, the word “As-Salām” (السلام) may be replaced by “Salāmun” (سلامٌ). This form of the word is used in a passage of the Qur’an describing the greeting of the Angels towards the inhabitants of Paradise:

And angels shall enter unto them from every gate (saying) Salaamun ‘Alaykum (peace be upon you) for you persevered in patience! Excellent indeed is the final home!’— (Ar-Ra’ad 13:23-24)

The form “Salāmun `Alaykum” is especially used in Turkey, where it is spelt “Selamun Eleyküm“.

ok… i think that will be all… fiuhhh… it is too much for me.. and please correct me if i’m wrong (CMIIW).. because the wrong things is comes from my self, the right things could comes from you.. and the absolute truth comes from Allah SWT.

wassalam…

note : the word in the bracket are arabic, if you can not read the word, it just because your coumputer doesn’t support arabic, just read the word in latin, it’s how to speel it.
