I may have alreayd asked this question, but here it goes. What, exactly, does Salaam Aleikum (sorry for the spelling) mean? I use it a lot to greet muslims, but I have no clue what I'm actually saying. Also, is it just for hellos or can you use it for goodbyes? And one more, I've heard some people just say "Salaam" instead of the whole thing. Is that any different than Salaam Aleikum? There, I'm done.
