.. Islam has ordained the believers that when they see each other, they should greet with 'Salaam.' When this phrase "Salaam Alaikum"(Peace be upon you) is uttered and heard by the opposite person, the addresser is assuring the addressee, "You will not suffer any harm, of any nature whatsoever, from me. I desire your safety, welfare and betterment in all ways and at all times." Accepting the truthful veracity of his statement, when the addressee replies "Wa-Alaikum Salam". He is assuring that,"Even I guarantee you that I will not harm you in any way. Rather I'm your well-wisher, too." And thus, submit before each other, which results in the shattering of pride, as well as the purification of hearts. Salaam has such importance that Muslims are prohibited to begin a conversation before submitting their submission and wishing safety for the other person. The one who does the Salaam first gets sixty nine rewards and the responder gets only one. This is in order to encourage people to greet others first and better them at goodness.
