Bismilah
Asalamalaikum
Dan Masha'Allah.
Maybe it could just be that they are not aware of the etiquettes of Salam and how important it is to say it and return it. Allah knows best.
Insha'Allah I won't let anybody let them drag me to become what I think is subhanaAllah displeasing to Allah.
Muslimah when someone looks like they are at my age. I feel comfortable going up to them and asking them whats up. But that woman looked older than my Mom.
You know a few weeks ago, something happened to me
This old man mashaAllah I think he was 100 or atleast over his 90's I was going out of a shop and I heard someone walking behind me. I turned around and it was masha'Allah an old man. As soon as I turned to him (not knowing whats behind me), he said in a loud voice 'Asalamalaikum warah matulahi wabarakatu". I returned the Salam, then I saw that he was deaf subanaAllah. Quickly after he gave me the salam, he turned his back and went his way. And he said to me May Allah bless you. When he gave me the salam like that. I honestly felt like as though he throwed a glass of full Imaan and Noor in my face. I wanted to ask him if he needed any help with something and he said no " I was just saying salam".

Did you people notice how people who fear Allah never age fast? And they always have their senses and they are mentally still intact [img]style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif[/img] . Most of the time I have seen this trait in only people who fear Allah and who practise their Islam. And noooo it's not off topic lol It somehow links if you've been following me closely insha'allah.
I am sorry if I am talking about too many different things all at once.
Insha'Allah if I said anything that Is not beneficial May Allah have his mercy upon me.
and alhamdulilah it's good to be Back!! Man did yiou guys get a break from my silly posts or what. [img]style_emoticons/default/wink.gif[/img]
