salam

Spread salam to spread love

وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ، لَا تَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ حَتَّى تُؤْمِنُوا، وَلَا تُؤْمِنُوا حَتَّى تَحَابُّوا، أَوَلَا أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَى شَيْءٍ إِذَا فَعَلْتُمُوهُ تَحَابَبْتُمْ؟ أَفْشُوا السَّلَامَ بَيْنَكُمْ

Wa-lladhi nafsi bi-yadih, la tadkhuluna-l-jannata hatta tu'minu, wa la tu'minu hatta tahabbu, awa la adullukum ala shay'in idha fa'altumuhu tahababtum? Afshu-s-salama baynakum.

"By the One in whose hand is my soul, you will not enter Paradise until you believe, and you will not believe until you love one another. Shall I not guide you to something that, if you do it, you will love one another? Spread salam among yourselves."

Narrated by Abu Hurayrah. Sahih Muslim 54

A short reflection

A small word, said often, said to strangers, is the recipe for community. The Prophet ﷺ told us to spread it like a public good.
