Peace is one of the central themes of Islam. In fact, the Arabic word Islam is derived from the same Semitic root (s-l-m) as salām, meaning peace, wholeness, and well-being. One of God’s names in the Qur’an is As-Salām (“The Source of Peace”). As-Salām

Greeting of Peace

The most common expression is the traditional greeting:

As-salāmu ʿalaykum

Peace be upon you.

The customary response is:

Wa ʿalaykum as-salām

And peace be upon you also.

This greeting reflects the importance of wishing peace upon others in daily life.
