A man asked the Prophet, “What Islamic traits are the best?”
The Prophet replied, “Feed the people, and greet those whom you know and those whom you do not know.”
[Bukhari]
Nowadays we see that salaam is not considered the right of every Muslim. People will only give salaam to the people that they only know. In fact, if you offer salaams to strangers today they might look at you funny and trying to figure out if they know you. Because of that, you are not willing to give salaam to strangers anymore. Nevertheless, let us make an effort to revive this sunnah for the love of the Prophet and as a practice of one of the best traits of Islam.
Follow the sunnah, then you will get the jannah..InshaAllah.
