Wa Alaikum Assalam 🌿
The hadith in Sahih Muslim 2167 teaches that Muslims should not initiate Salam (the Islamic greeting of peace) to non-Muslims. The reason is that “Assalamu Alaikum” carries a deep spiritual meaning — it’s a dua (prayer) for peace and mercy from Allah, which is specific to believers.
However, Islam encourages kindness, justice, and good manners toward everyone. You can greet non-Muslims with neutral, respectful words like “Hello” or “Good morning” without using the specific Islamic greeting.
If someone (Muslim or non-Muslim) greets you with “Assalamu Alaikum,” you may respond with a simple “Wa Alaikum” (and upon you).
