He's in Thai household all his companions may Allah

Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala bless them all. I mean

My brothers and sisters in the Arabic language there is a root word made up of three letters

If you notice the term Islam and Muslims sounds quite similar because it also has those three letters

So for us to take a look at Islam and us being Muslims it's important for us to go back to the root

and see what it is that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala wants from us being the root of these three letters

So if you look at those three letters initially you would find something interesting the term Selim means to be saved

For example in the Hadith of the Prophet ﷺ he says

So if you're a true Muslim all the other Muslims should never ever suffer from your tongue or from your hand

So that is the term to be safeguarded and the idea is for us as Muslim to be safeguarded not only should we be looking out for our brothers and sisters

But even Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala would safeguard us being from among those who have submitted unto Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala

If you look at the term Salam it means peace so you would achieve peace look that term Salam also has the same three letters

So if I were to follow Allah's instruction I meant to be achieving peace and at the same time I meant to be ensuring that the others are at peace from my harm

And this is why Selama you Sellimu which also has the three letters means to greet with Salam

When I see you it's my duty to ensure that I greet you with the greeting of peace that is also made by Salam

If I say Assalamu alaykum I'm referring to something very important and that is a prayer for you

I pray that peace be upon you when someone says may peace be upon you isn't that a prayer for them

So we asking Allah can peace be upon you peace be upon you in what aspect of your life

in every single angle or aspect of your life so from me there will be peace my prayer is even if you have other problems you are facing in your life

that have perhaps you served to take in a way the peace in your life

By me greeting you I'm actually saying Allah help this man to achieve peace Subhanallah
