Returning Salam With Intention To Please Someone
Hello there Assallam u alaikum,
my question is that since salam is a Dua (and Dua is worship ritual). A Muslim says and replies a Salam because it is Sunnah and he wants to fulfill the Sunnah required from him. if he doesn’t he may be sinful (minor sin) for not saying or replying Salam.
but many times people reply or do a Salam because the other person would feel bad if not replied for Salam. the same goes for saying someone “Mubarak”(which is like a Dua for blessing,) for any achievement like nikah,or good result. the same goes for saying someone “Allah aapko Khush or salamat rakhe, Meri dua hai” we say this so to make the other person feel happy and pleased.
but we know that İbadah rituals are for Allah’s pleasure only, none other’s pleasure can be sought with it except Allah. then why in these sort of İbadah of Dua which is said to someone, why is it that we feel it’s okay to say these in pleasing the other man?
