Correct me if iam wrong

[S.A.]

:sl: everyone,

It caught my eye just a few moments ago and hence thought of asking u all.
If u see to the right where all the smilies appear and above them for quick typing the islamic greetings are present.

There are two: :sl: and :w:

But i think the reply is wrong. Dont u think it shud be Wa alaikum as salam instead of Wa'assalam alaikum?

Please clear my doubt.

Wa alykum as-Salaam sister.


Wa alaikum as-Salaam = And upon you the Peace.


Wa As-Salaam alaikum = And the Peace upon you



So theres not much wrong in that insha Allaah. And Allaah knows best.

Thankx for the translation Akhi but the correct order is Wa'assalamu alaikum.

Yeah, i understand. But i think the arabic language is flexible, and there isn't anything wrong with saying it in the second way either [since the meaning is the same.] And Allaah knows best.

Jazaak Allaah khayr, i'll put it forward to the admins. But if it doesn't get fixed up for a while, i'm sorry.. its just that the main admin, brother kadafi is away and might not come back for a while. Sorry.


May Allaah reward you.

You are right sister, it should actually be the other way round if one is using it to reply. We do have ':wasalamex' though, which would be the best way to reply to a greeting.

':w: ' is usually used at the end of posts.
