| Summary: | Contemporarily, many factors have put bars between man and his fellows, most especially
when security of life is taken into consideration. Everyone is always selfconscious;
fellows and neighbours no more trust themselves and meaningful societal
relationship is at stake. The most human factor easily relating one person to the other is
greeting, but it has unfortunately been made to look as a private commodity whereby
people are free to give it to whomever they want and deny it hosts of others. Those who
do greet are seen as primitives and conservatives. It is time to tell what greeting is and
what role and influence it plays in uniting the humanity at large, most particularly from the Islamic juristic perspective. This paper wishes to showcase the roles greeting play in
ascertaining security of life and property on one hand, and how it helps strengthening
and uniting humanity on the other hand. The major sources for the paper are from the
Qur’an and Prophetic traditions. |
