Are we allowed to use greetings from other religions?
I think not, but am not sure.
Anyone?

you create a lot of silly threads these days.....
The Lover is ever drunk with love;
He is free, he is mad,
He dances with ecstasy and delight.
Caught by our own thoughts,
We worry about every little thing,
But once we get drunk on that love,
Whatever will be, will be.

There's som hadiths that say we reply to greetings from non Muslims by saying..
'Wa'alaikum (And on you)."
Round and round the Ka'bah,
Like a good Sahabah,
One step, Two step,
All the way to jannah

We're not allowed to give 'salams' to non-muslims but if they do 'salam' us then we should reply by saying 'Wa alaykum'.
As for using greetings from non-muslims, I know that we're allowed to use the greeting non-muslims use.
I take it you created this thread after thinking hard and long about the Juma Mubarak thread

Salaam is one of the names of Allah (swt) hence why u cnt use it greeting a non-muslim.

I did not think there was any issue with wishing them peace...
It is only after death that you cannot pray for a non-muslim.

not really sure what the religious view on greetings is.
But apprently your not allowed to say the word salaam because your shortening the actual term Asalam Walikum.
Also i was reading somewhere that you cant actually pray for non muslims while they are alive let alone when they are dead (whoops).
This is only what i have heard so dont quote me on it.

You just said it
When I said salams I meant Assalamu Alaikum.
You are wrong about this, you can say the word salam and as Noor said it is one of the names of Allah (swt).

you can say it, altho obv its better to say the full thing
if someone says asalaamulaikum........you have to respond with equal or better, i.e. walaykumasalaam
if they add wa rahmatullah at the end, again, you have to respond with equal or better. i.e walaykumasalaam wa rahmatillah
and likewise if they add barakatahu at the end

But Allah(swt) is their Lord too, he is everyone's Lord. Ok, they may have a different name for God but it's still the same thing isn't it?

In pre-Islamic Arabia, when people met, they used to greet each other with various greetings. Islam changed and replaced these greetings with this standard form of greeting - Assalamu Alaykum.

say for example a muslim says Asalam Walikum with intentions other than to greet one in the intended way then what?
Do you reply back with Asalam Walikum or ignore then or use an alternative greeting (which shall not be stated on this forum for obvious reasons)?

I have not seen any authoritative texts forbidding you from using greetings from other nations, languages, culture, religions etc yet. However to another Muslim you have to greet with 'Assalamu Alaykum'.

'Wagwan' is patois
There are some Muslims in parts of the Caribbean, and many converts/reverts
But u get many blessings from Allah (swt) just by saying 'assalamu alaikum' to another Muslim, so i guess its probably best to start using it (assuming that u want blessings from Allah (swt))
Winter is the Springtime of the Muslim. Because Allah (swt) has made the nights long for worship, and the days short for fasting!
