ٱلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ
Assalamu alaykum
“Peace be upon you”
Spreading salam
When Muslims meet, we say 'Assalamu alaykum', peace be upon you. The reply is 'Wa alaykum assalam', and peace be upon you too.
Manners at mealtime
Before eating we say 'Bismillah', in the name of Allah. We eat with our right hand and eat from the food closest to us. When we finish, we say 'Alhamdulillah', all praise is for Allah.
Little things, big rewards
When someone sneezes and says 'Alhamdulillah', we reply 'Yarhamukallah', may Allah have mercy on you. Being gentle with animals, saying please and thank you, and sharing are all part of adab.
“Say Bismillah, eat with your right hand, and eat from what is near you.”
