    Assalaamu alaykum wa Rahmatullaahi wa Barakaatuh yaa faDiilata s-Shaykh, HafiZakumullah

    Jazaakumullaahu khair for a delightful lesson. I would never have imagined that this commonly used phrase could be so utterly friendly, warm, kind and caring in meaning! Alhamdulillaah, I, (and I am sure all of your students too), cannot help but continue to be impressed by the absolute beauty of the Arabic language, through your lessons.

    And Inshaa Allaah, I think I will remember your incredible explanations of this phrase everytime someone says it to me!

    Wasalaamu alaykum wa Rahmatullaahi wa Barakaatuh

    I thought i mastered this these words to the fullest. However, this concise lesson made it known to me that the more you learn, the more you realized that you don’t know.
    Just have to JazakallAhu khairan for all your efforts.

    The Arabic word “Salaam” doesn’t mean peace or greeting. It means “Surrender or submit.” According to Persian historians, in the seventh-century Arab attack on Persia[Iran], Arabs Killed, raped, plundered and demanded Iranians to surrender, submit, “Tasleem” to Arab sword. when ever a petrified Iranian saw an Arab out of fear of getting killed, raped, or pay “jaziyah” [tax paid to Arab conquered,] they clearly while their head bowed, uttered “Salaam” meaning I submit, I surrender. Thus the word salaam.
    Best,
    George H. Hassanzadeh
