Brief description

Among the salutations of various nations, Salam', the Islamic salutation and greeting, has a special luminosity, because it indicates both welcoming and peace, pleasure and friendship, and also wish for peace from God for the other party.

For this reason, salutation of the people of Paradise is Salam, and angels of mercy receive the virtuous and good- doers with Salam. But unfortunately, some Moslems refuse this Islamic rule supposing that not saluting shows their high dignity and saluting reduces their rank and make themselves deprived from the great virtue mentioned in above tradition.
