WHO IS HE?

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah,
Sub: Who is he?
It is absolutely irrelevant to club salafi ideology with Bin laden. Bin laden doesn't have salafi methodology instead he was a student as well as a follower of Mohd Qutub, Brother of Sayed Qutub, one of former leaders of Muslim brotherhood, a brotherly organisation of Jamaate Islami. Even it was very clearly explained in JIH’s one of the book series ‘Islamic Encyclopaedia’ (Islamic Vikzhanakosham) 7th volume, page number 60. But, deceptions are being considered as part of their life and the ideology itself built upon this falsehood, now JIH’s leaders and activists are trying to conceal their relation with Bin Laden. Even the so called shura member of JIH, Shaik Mohammed Karakunnu, who worked behind the same book, now bigmouthed to people to say a bitter lie that Bin Laden is a Salafi (in a speech at Payanoor, Kannur, he said that salafees are the Terrorist and Bin laden is a Salafi, in contrary to his previous claim in his book that Bin Laden is a well known Ihwani) and the so called believers of JIH, as they already surrendered their brain to Ameer and Shura members (it is the minimum requisite for their party membership), uttering this falsehood repeatedly.
And say: "Truth has come and Bâtil (falsehood) has vanished. Surely! Bâtil is ever bound to vanish." (Al-Isra 17:81)
It is regret to say that many people do not know anything about Salafi creed and methodology. Salafi scholars in the Saudi have been strongly criticised the act of terrorism and suicide bombing and hence, terrorists have even been attacking to disturb the stability of the Saudi govt. If Saudi's salafis are giving support to Bin Laden's Al Quida terrorist group, why do these terrorists attacking the Saudi? I request the readers to study and evaluate the role of Sayeed Qutub and Abul Ahla Maududi in spreading extremism among the Muslims all over the world through their deviant pseudo writings.
The recent development in the interpretation of 'Global terrorism' by some western intellectuals is an insight for all the people in general and Muslims in particular. According to them, it was a global network before but after the bombings in Briton now they were realised that it is not a network instead it is based on an evil ideology which is inspired from the books of modern Islamic (?) writer Zayed Qutub, one of the leader of Ihwanul Muslim (Muslim Brotherhood) in Egypt who was a real proponent of Abul Ahla Moududi, the founder of Jamaate Islami.
Zayed Qutub was hanged to death and consequently, the leaders of Muslim brotherhood fled to Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries. The then rulers of Saudi were given shelter for these leaders. Mohd Qutub, brother of Zayed Qutub was the one renowned personality among them and he was posted as lecture of one of the institutes in Saudi. But he never changed his ideology of Muslim brotherhood and hence, produced a number of extremist among the Muslims. One of the greatest products of him is Usama Bin Laden. In fact; there is no much difference in the ideology of Muslim brotherhood and the Jamaate Islami.
So please do not misunderstand that salafis and Qutubs/Maududis having the same methodology while understanding and practicing Quran and Sunna in their day to day life. Salafis have been adhering strictly the Quran and Sunna with the Manhaj (methodology) of the pious predecessors. They are not like Muslim brotherhood or Jamaate Islami instead they inviting people to Islam primarily with highlighting the principles of Monotheism (Thouhid) as well as its ever existing values irrespective of changing world and society.
They (the disbelievers, the Jews and the Christians) want to extinguish Allâh's light (with which Muhammad SAW has been sent - Islâmic Monotheism) with their mouths, but Allâh will not allow except that His light should be perfected even though the Kâfirûn (disbelievers) hate (it). (At-Tawbah 9:32)

The Satanic dominance in Cinema & Acting

All praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds
Peace and blessing of Allah be upon our beloved Prophet Mohammed
I seek refuge in Allah from Satan, the accursed
In the name of Allah the most beneficent, most merciful
O you who believe! Enter perfectly in Islam (by obeying all the rules and regulations of the religion) and follow not the footsteps of Shaitân (satan). Verily! He is to you a plain enemy (Al-Baqarah - 2:208)
Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wabarakatuhu,
Sub: Beware of shaitaan/ satan as he is the prime enemy of mankind
The present scenario of the so called ‘worldly changes’ even severely affected to some Muslims and so, they have so badly been trying to cope up with the phenomena of worldly changes beyond any time limit or even without any boundary. There is a general tendency among the people to reconsider and do necessary modifications in their way of life as well as the way of thinking. Most of the people are enthusiastically after the beautification of desires, glamorization of trends, new Look, fashions, colorful life style, and modernization in appearance or behavior. And hence, the urge or the profound religious impulses to do righteous deeds and get more close to Allah with virtue and piousness (Taqwa) are overlooked or ignored by the overwhelming influence of Iblees/satan (may curse be upon him) and his soldiers. Unfortunately there are ‘some’ so called Muslims also desperately trying to adopt these abrupt changes, developments, innovations in their every sphere of life without much adequate perspective of Islam. They believe Muslims also go with hand to hand and shoulder to shoulder along with the so called advancement of Media, Technology etc. The forces of evil have taken these opportunities to even mislead the Muslims from the straight path. Beware of Shaitaan since he is the prime enemy of mankind as Allah says: "Get down, one of you an enemy to the other [i.e. Adam, Hawwa (Eve), and Shaitân (satan), etc.]. On earth will be a dwelling place for you and an enjoyment, - for a time." (Al-A'raf 7:24)
Regret to say that people those who are bigmouthed on the imperial invasion of America on Muslim countries are completely conquered by the cultural invasion of America and the West. Their insincerity and hypocrisy towards the America and her occupation unveiled as most of them find livelihood by working in the companies of America and other western countries. They also accepted the culture of Americans by adopting the imperial beard (French beard or clean shaven), imported road march, solidarity with atheist, pagans, cinema, acting etc. Even the ‘culture of the west’ has established an imperial colony in their house, heart, dress, appearance etc.
When the Ihwanees, jamaat e islami etc lost their ideological importance and the influence on the people they forced to adopt some modern approach to maintain their existence. The abrupt changes of Jamaat e islami both ideologically and pragmatically have been forced them to act as an ultra secularist party in Kerala. But fortunately, the existing highly social awareness among the majority of the people of Kerala, JIH’s excessive pretention to keep ‘solidarity’ with the so called Tagooti institutions(?), social services, social issues etc could reveal their unending struggles to remove the already damaged image of JIH.
Mass Media
Due to having the striking nature on the viewers and audience, visual media especially Cinema, TV etc have dominance or the power to defeat over the mind and heart of the common people. In fact, people have been addicted to these mass communications. Some of the opportunists have taken these chances to spread their heretical pseudo thought, ideology, modern out look, progressive trends etc by producing, distributing Cinema, the artificial portrayal of human characters, repulsively in the banner of Islam as named ‘Islamic Cinema’.
Those who fear Allah and His wrath should understand the difference between documentary and Cinema as some of the ‘modernist’ often mixing these two terms to mislead the Muslims.
Documentary: it is a visual program presenting the facts and information about a person or event by emphasizing or expressing things as perceived without distortion of personal feelings, insertion of fictional matter, or interpretations. It is absolutely deals with the realistic things.
Cinema:
It is a form of entertainment that enacts a story by sound, Music and a sequence of images giving the illusion of continuous movement. Some modernist Muslims are trying to classify Cinema as conventional Cinema and contemporary Cinema at present. In fact, there are no such classifications for cinema but those who want to justify the devil may care acts of their organization are desperately trying to glorify cinema as a Medium. The only motive behind the creation/ production of a cinema is profit oriented and hence, it advancing more vulnerably in promoting violence, sex, hostility, mockery, romance, sexual arousal, suicidal impulses etc. It gives an opening or providing means of access for the sin and the forces of evil getting very comfortably some footsteps into. Allah says follow not the footsteps of Shaitân (satan). Verily, he is to you an open enemy. (Al-Baqarah 2:168)
Some people have been completely addicted to this cinema craze and even they are considering some of the film stars as deity and so, building temples for their favourate actors or actress to place their statue to worship them as God. Unfortunately, these so called film stars reached in a position to decide the political power of the state and even the day to day functioning of the social life. Due to the devastating influence of Shaitaaniyat of cinema and acting, the so called fans of film stars even committing suicide for the sake of their ‘film star deity’. It is seen very common in Thamilnadu and some other state of India. Majority of the people are in this states have been affected with this ‘Cinema mania’ like epilepsy. The prime enemy of mankind shaitaan/Iblees (curse be upon him) has taken pledge to Allah that he will deviate people from worshiping Him alone by associating partners with Him. Satan has achieved this goal through the so called ‘Medium of Cinema’ by turning many people to ‘film star worshipping’. The most reprehensibly, the Cinema and acting are getting so charismatic and high popularity even among some of the so called Muslims nowadays. Let us seek refuge in Allah.
Those who are producing cinema with a name of Islamic Cinema (?) also do not free from presenting it with exaggeration. Due to the exotic nature of cinema, mixing up the realistic character of a person in a more unrealistic manner and hence, produce artificial individual characters, events, scenes, relations, situations etc. It is not a great thing to glorify but it is absolutely a way for following the order of Satan by changing the personality of the actor and his nature to the character of a different person as usually seen in Cinema and acting. Qur’an says as shaitaan said;
Verily, I will mislead them, and surely, I will arouse in them false desires; and certainly, I will order them to slit the ears of cattle, and indeed I will order them to change the nature created by Allâh." And whoever takes Shaitân (satan) as a Walî (protector or helper) instead of Allâh, has surely suffered a manifest loss. An-Nisa - 4:119
Those who can pretend more effectively to convert a particular role of character in more artistic way will be considered as a good actor. A God fearing Muslim should not be an actor since he has to live always with the remembrance of Allah without hypocrisy or pretention or acting instead he/she has to live as an obedient slave of Allah in more realistically and naturally in this world as a traveler to go anytime to the eternal world as a response to the call of Allah. May Allah help us to die as a pious, righteous, God conscious Muslim. Aameen
Does an end justify its means?!
In Islam, to achieve certain objectives its approach also must accordance with the teaching of Islam. Islam is not a religion to justify its followers for their any act even they called it as Islamic. So the means used to acquire certain goals whether it is in religion or Dunniya must be based on the teaching of Qur’an and the beloved prophet (peace be upon him). Both the mankind and the Jinn is an intelligent creation of Allah with a free will to choose his way of life. But the great enemy of mankind, Shaytaan (curse be upon him) and his companions had taken strong oath to mislead people from straight path. So, they also will try to find out new methods to fulfill his goal to lead people to eternal disaster i.e. hellfire. Allâh cursed him. And he [Shaitân (satan)] said: "I will take an appointed portion of your slaves; (An-Nisa 4:118) He has been developing new way of distorting Islamic teachings and hence, gradually deviating the Muslims from the remembrance of Allah. For this purpose Shaitaan has given a term for Muslims as ‘ISLAMIC’ as a misnomer to call the so called developments and progressiveness of the contemporary world. He [Shaitan (satan)] makes promises to them, and arouses in them false desires; and Shaitan's (Satan) promises are nothing but deceptions. (An-Nisa 4:120)
Islamic Dating:
Dating, the so called pre marriage relation of a boy and a girl by leaving the house to go somewhere is become so common in the developed (?) world. With the influence of Mass Media like Cinema, TV, the flirting, the Playful behaviour intended to arouse sexual interest between man and women are getting an easygoing attitude among even Muslims. It is one of the tricks of Shaitaan as he beautifies this FLIRTING as a natural feeling of human being. Even there are many websites giving opportunity for friendship between boys & girls as named as ‘ISLAMIC DATING’. Do this mingling of opposite sex, with an Islamic banner, permissible in Islam?!! Never. No God fearing Muslims could justify this ‘Shaitaaniyat’ even some of them later turned to the legal wedding knots after dating.
Islamic Swimming Suit:
Islam is the only religion strictly prohibited both man and woman from displaying their private parts open or exposed in public. There are stringent conditions in Islam both for man and women while appearing in public. He / she has to keep the modesty and should down their gaze. The girls and matured women should wear Hijab to guard their modesty and honorableness. So, Shaitaan and his companions have been trying to bring the respectable Muslim women into his path and now he has succeeded in this venture by introducing the so called ‘Islamic Swimming Suit’. He is whispering to Muslimah (Muslim woman) that there is no harm to swim in beach or public swimming pool if you wear an ‘Islamic Swimming Suit’. I seek refuge in Allah from the whispering of the Shaytaan and man. The same Shitaan had whispered to our forefather & mother as Qur’an says Then Shaitân (satan) whispered suggestions to them both in order to uncover that which was hidden from them of their private parts (before); he said: "Your Lord did not forbid you this tree save you should become angels or become of the immortals." (Al-A'raf 7:20) Does this ‘Shaytaaniyat’ permissible in Islam even if you call it Islamic Swimming Suit?! Never. No God fearing Muslims could justify this Shaytaaniyat even woman gets exercise, fitness and have good (?) leisure time from swimming.
Islamic Cinema:
A Muslim has to keep and behave according to his conscious mind since it is an alert cognitive state in which you are aware of yourself and your situation. He must try to overcome the influence of sub conscious mind as it is a Psychic activity just below the level of awareness. In a state of conscious mind he always will be remembering his creator and the objective of his creation and so, he/she will be thankful to his creator, the Almighty. A Muslim cannot prefer being a state where he / she is away from the awareness of Allah. Verily, those who are Al-Muttaqûn (the pious), when an evil thought comes to them from Shaitân (satan), they remember (Allâh), and (indeed) they then see (aright). (Al-A'raf 7:201)
Acting is considered as the heart and soul of Cinema. In acting, an actor suppresses his personality in order to reveal the actions and motivations of the character for particular moments in time. The actor is said to be "assuming the role" of another, usually for the benefit of an audience, but also because it can bring one a sense of artistic satisfaction. Actors were traditionally not people of high status, and in the Early Middle Ages actors were often viewed with distrust. In many parts of Europe, actors could not even receive a Christian burial, and any actor forever condemned. However, this negative perception was largely reversed in the 19th and 20th centuries as acting has become an honored and popular profession and art and the resulting rise of the movie star — as regards both their social status and the salaries they command. The combination of public presence and wealth has profoundly rehabilitated their image (?).
In the past, only men could become actors in some societies. In the ancient Greece and Rome and the medieval world, it was considered disgraceful for a woman to go on the stage, and this belief continued right up until the 17th century. In the time of William Shakespeare, women's roles were generally played by men or boys. The British prohibition was ended in the reign of Charles II who enjoyed watching female actors (actresses) on stage. But, with the highest level of condemnation on the so called Muslims who are working behind the Cinema, acting, TV Serials, reality show etc, at present trying to bring the women and girls into the public screen. Such name sake Muslims are repulsively worse than ‘Charles II’ since these so called Maulavees, their followers and their organizations are not only bringing them to public but also arrogantly and recklessly distorting verses of Qur’an and the teaching of Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him) as a proof for this satanic act. Those Scholars and Moulavees conveniently keeping mum by seeing the devil may care acts of their followers, organisations etc, merely for the sake of their organisation, are also would share the responsibility (may be more) of this Shaitaaniyath which may cause destructing cultural tsunami among the Muslim community. Allah says about such people in Qur’an in Al-A'raf 7:175- 176 And recite (O Muhammad SAW) to them the story of him to whom We gave Our Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.), but he threw them away, so Shaitân (Satan) followed him up, and he became of those who went astray.
And had We willed, We would surely have elevated him therewith but he clung to the earth and followed his own vain desire. So his description is the description of a dog: if you drive him away, he lolls his tongue out, or if you leave him alone, he (still) lolls his tongue out. Such is the description of the people who reject Our Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.). So relate the stories, perhaps they may reflect.
Due to their Hizbiyaa towards the organization, leaders and so and so, they are deviating from the principle of Islam and adopting the satanic slogan of “Enemies of my enemy is my friends” and so, they even dare to give interviews, complimentary fatwa, pleasing answers etc in favour of some distressing name sake Muslims(?) of grave worshippers.
Shaitaan couldn’t happy with the progress of his anti Islam work and he discovered some more destructing techniques to stop the propagation of Islam. He whispered to some people that all organizations which even strive in the cause of Allah and for the overall betterment of Muslim community are Bidah and those who are trying to defend Islam and its teaching from the innovators, Deviants, Atheist, Pagans, Idolaters etc are working against ‘Manhaju salaf’ since they are not scholars nor student of knowledge. He finds it is also a wonderful tool to make chaos and confusion among the God fearing Muslims and hence, could keep them as impotent even against the evils of the society.
Even there was a period or still at present majority of Muslims in Kerala, have been considering Cinema, drama, acting etc as a disgraceful profession. Even when the so called Jamat e Islami of Hind decided to vote first time in the history of Indian politics they had given their first ‘Thouhidi vote (?)’ for Lal Krishna Advani of BJP against Rajeshkana of Congress. They were clarified the natural doubts of people by saying “Rajeshkana was an actor and it is loathsome and against the principle of Islam” but when after a long while they voted again to KT Kunchimohd, a film director & a communist, against Abdu Samad Samadani of Muslim League. They again cleared the doubts (?) by saying that they were considering the ‘value oriented vote’ ('moolyaadhistitha raashtreeyam'). People puzzled since they could not understand the ‘Moolyam’(esteem) of KT Kunchimohd than Samadani.
As an inevitable turnout of unpractical ideology bearers, now JIH and its activist acting, directing, distributing, producing Cinema with a name ‘Islamic Cinema’ if you ask them where is Islam in it?! They will say its name is Islamic as our organization Jamat e (Islami) Hind. Some of the self proclaimed Mujahid under the banner of ‘NMK’ (Naduvathul Mujahideen Kerala) also getting into significant progress in the field of Cinema and acting and moreover demoralising the symbol of Islam, scholars, Jinn etc mahadaAllah. It shows that the Shaytaan (may Allah curse him) has gone further by beautifying some of the Muslims’ desires and so, they are under the impression that they are considered to be among the intellectual, progressive, modernist, creative person etc. Does this ‘Shaytaaniyat’ permissible in Islam even if you call it as Islamic Cinema since it is employed with mingling of man and woman, get involved or mixed-up with ‘pleasure seekers’ and out of wedlock and illegitimately man and woman pretending to be husband and wife, brother and sister?! Let us seek refuge in Allah. As Shaitaan rightly said about these people; indeed I will order them to change the nature created by Allâh An-Nisa - 4:119. Never. No God fearing Muslims could justifies this ‘Shaytaaniyat’ even some Muslims get Job, Money, entertainment, fun, pleasure, fame, glamour from Cinema and acting. Shaytaan has achieved very highness in his goal as he could bring some of the film stars into the so called Ramadan programs and Iftar parties as anchors, presenters, sponsors, invitee etc
And surely, We have created many of the jinns and mankind for Hell. They have hearts wherewith they understand not, they have eyes wherewith they see not, and they have ears wherewith they hear not (the truth). They are like cattle, nay even more astray; those! They are the heedless ones. (Al-A'raf 7:179)
The term ‘Islamic’ used as a Misnomer
And say: "Truth (i.e. Islâmic Monotheism or this Qur'ân or Jihâd against polytheists) has come and Bâtil (falsehood, i.e. Satan or polytheism, etc.) has vanished. Surely! Bâtil is ever bound to vanish." (Al-Isra 17:81)
In the contemporary world the term ‘Islamic’ has been misused largely with an irrational but irresistible motive for defaming Islam and the teaching of Qur’an and the prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him) but the greatest enemy of mankind Iblees/Shaytaan and his companions, soldiers tactically used this unfortunate situation to glorify all evils or the gateway of sin in devastatingly as attractive to the people. Regrettably some of the so called Muslims also followed the footsteps of Satan in this regard. Knowingly or unknowingly they also called it as ‘Islamic’ for example; Islamic feminism, Islamic Fashion Show, Islamic Celebrity, Islamic Terrorism, Islamic Bombing, Islamic Night Club, Islamic Beer parlour, Islamic Publishing House, Islamic Jihad, Islamic Republic of Iran etc. In fact, Islam has no relation with these types of Shaitaaniyat instead it deny the anti Islam slogan of some name sake Muslims “The end justify its means”
O Children of Adam! Let not Shaitân (satan) deceive you, as he got your parents [Adam and Hawwa (Eve)] out of Paradise, stripping them of their raiments, to show them their private parts. Verily, he and Qabîluhu (his soldiers from the jinns or his tribe) see you from where you cannot see them. Verily, We made the Shayâtin (devils) Auliyâ' (protectors and helpers) for those who believe not. (Al-A'raf 7:27)

Beard doesn’t harm

Asaalamu alaikum, May peace and mercy of Allah, the Almighty God be upon you all,
Sub: Does a beard harm people?!!!
It is distressful that some people are getting annoyed after seeing a Muslim with long beard. The Media has set the mind of these people so rigid to think that the long beard is a symbol of a terrorist. Alas!! Does a beard can harm people?!! A Muslim with a long beard always inspected with extra care. Why? Is it possible to make a bomb with beard? Or were those who rained bombs in Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Palestine bearded people? The most notorious dictators in the history of the world were beardless. Sikhs are widely enjoying this individual/religious right without facing any questions.
The long beard of a scientist often considered as a symbol of his intellectual orientation, as well as pastor with a beard is seen as a pious person etc. It is nothing but people's prejudiced and hatred mind towards Muslims and Islam.
Media propaganda
Islam, in terms of its beliefs and practices, is a threat to all capitalistic countries since Islam strictly prohibits prostitution, drugs, adultery, lesbian, homosexual, lottery, alcohol, abortion, interest etc which is one of the inevitable features of every capitalistic country. They gradually realised this fact that if people accept Islam it will be a threat for their existence and hence, trying to tarnish Islam through their media as a terrorist religion. Through this sort of propaganda they are trying to create misconception about Islam to prevent people from accepting it. But they can not put off the light of this true religion as Allah says in Qur'an:
And say: "Truth (i.e. Islamic Monotheism or this Qur'ân) has come and falsehood (i.e. Satan or polytheism, etc.) has vanished. Surely! Falsehood is ever bound to vanish." (Al-Isra 17:81)
I am not overlooking the reality that some sects among the Muslims are responsible to spread extremism in the world and they have led to the birth of destructive political movements, as well as promoting un-Islamic revolutionary modes of thought among the Muslims. Those who criticise Islam, often doing it at the cost of anti social activities and unIslamic practices of some name sake Muslims but in reality We Muslims never blame the religion when Hindus, Christians, Jews, or Sikhs do any wrong. It is despicable to call a terrorist who bears a name of Muslim as ‘Islamic terrorist’. We Muslims do not call Hitler a Christian terrorist even as he was a Christian and killed millions of Jews. We do not call the Americans who put atom bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki and killed millions of innocent people ‘Christian terrorists’, even as the men who bombed were Christians by religion. We do not call anyone a Hindu terrorist even when some of them have killed innocent Christians and Muslims in India during riots etc. So, why this tag on Muslims?
So, before blaming a religion we must see the authentic source of that particular religion instead of looking to the activities of its followers. The authentic sources of Islam are the Holy Qur'an and the Sunna of Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him).
Quran says:” Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and beautiful admonition, and argue with them in ways that are better." [Sooratun-Nahl 16:125]
With the prayers for the peaceful life here and in the here after

"Greeting with Salaam (Peace); should be discouraged or promoted?"

Assalamu alaikum, May peace and mercy of Allah, the Almighty God be on all of you,
Sub: "Greeting with Salaam (Peace); should be discouraged or promoted?"
It is a general practice among people to express greetings upon meeting someone or wish each other. Wishing is a specific expression of feeling of someone who exchanges it according to the demand of the situation. In short, any wish, greeting or salutation should be done according to the specific circumstances.
React to in a certain way always depend upon the way of thought and principles of life of the person. Some greetings or salutations are not fit for every situation as per the logic. For example good morning, good after noon etc is not suitable for people who suffering by the loss of wealth, health or beloved one.
But the greeting of Islam, 'assalamu alaikum, peace be upon you', without question and beyond doubt suit for any situation nevertheless of time, loss, troubles, casualty, happiness, stress, tension, anxiety etc. Because of this reason we Muslims greet people with this extraordinary salutation "ASSALAMU ALAIKUM- May peace and mercy of Allah, the Almighty God be on you"
Greeting of Jesus (peace be upon him) according to Bible
It is not only a practice of Muslims but also was a practice of Jesus (peace be upon him) who greeted his disciples with "Shalom Aleichem" in Hebrew- peace be with you, quite similar in Arabic as Assalamu alaikum, peace be upon you. This same greeting of Islam can be seen in John 20:21 (New International Version) Again Jesus said, "Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you."
It is also stated that one should give the Salaam greeting upon entering a house, even if the house is empty. This is based upon the verse of the Qur'an (al-Noor 24:61) "But when you enter the houses, greet one another with a greeting from Allaah (i.e. say: As‑Salaamu ‘Alaykum — peace be on you), blessed and good." and similar verses you can see in Bible, Luke 10:5,6 (New International Version) "When you enter a house, first say, 'Peace to this house. If a man of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; if not, it will return to you. But unfortunately, the so called followers of Jesus Christ, Christians, given up this practice as they gave up many practices like circumcision (Luke 2:21), prohibition of taking interest/Usury (Exodus 22:25 ), eating Pork (Leviticus 11:6-8), keeping beard (Leviticus 19:27) etc
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) made spreading salaam a part of faith, Al-Bukhaari (12, 28 and 6236). Ibn Hibbaan (505) narrated from ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Umar that a man asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): “What is the best thing in Islam?” He said, “Feeding others and giving the greeting of salaam to those whom you know and those whom you do not know.”
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) explained that this salaam spreads love and brotherhood. Muslim (54), Ahmad (2/391), and al-Tirmidhi (2513) narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
“You will not enter Paradise until you believe, and you will not believe until you love one another. Shall I not tell you about something which, if you do it, you will love one another? Spread salaam amongst yourselves.”
So my brothers and Sisters in humanity, you should not either hesitate or discourage people from greeting Salaam "ASSALAMU ALAIKUM" but should promote it as Prophets Mohammed, Jesus (peace be upon them) has done by giving a better reply "wa alaikum al salaam wa rahmadullahi wa barakaathuhu - be on you the peace, mercy and blessing of Allah, the Almighty God".
