Let us revive deserted worships

[Muslimah]

<b>Diffusing peace</b>


عن عبدالله بن سلام أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال : « أيها الناس أفشوا السلام، وأطعموا الطعام، وصلوا بالليل والناس نيام، تدخلوا الجنة بسلام » [رواه الترمذي].


Narrated under the authority of Abdullah Bin Sallam that the Prophet blessing and peace be upon him said: "O you people diffuse and spread peace, offer food, perform Salat in the night when people are asllep, you shall enter Jannah in peace" (reported by Termidhi)


How many worships or let us say Sunnah are deserted in this hadeeth, I wonder!


In this post, I m targetting diffusing peace. Sobhan Allah, sometimes people would be astonished if you offer salam while passing by. Well I m speaking about the vast majority in countries like where I live, I m not sure about Western countries. Actually, non Muslims in the US always say hello or wave when they pass by you.


If you are walking in places like where I live, you hardly find someone who offers salam. Of course I m not generalising, but the majority dont. Leave alone that the majority use Alo (or hello) in french when answering the phone.


Let us start offering salam while walking in streets to those whom we know or dont know. The objective of this hadeeth is to exessively use this word, til it becomes part of our culture. Probably when you use it a lot with people, when you are confronted with harsh behaviour, or other difficult situations you will think twice, since you already offered salam, to handle hte tough situation harshly, you will think of more peaceful and better handling. No wonder the end result is amazing, entering Jannah peacefully, I think here it means immediately.
