Difference between meaning of “Salamun Alaikum” and “Assalamu Alykum”
Question :
What is the difference between meaning of “Salamun Alaikum” and “Assalamu Alykum” ?
Answer :
One saying with “Ta’reef” (with Alif and Lam) and other with “Tankeer” (with Tanween).
Allah told :
سَلَامٌ قَوْلًا مِنْ رَبٍّ رَحِيمٍ – يس: 58
سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ لَا نَبْتَغِي الْجَاهِلِينَ – القصص : 55
تَحِيَّتُهُمْ فِيهَا سَلَامٌ – سونس : 10
What appears is the difference between both sayings is little and doesn’t effect the meaning. And Allah Told :
إِذْ دَخَلُوا عَلَيْهِ فَقَالُوا سَلَامًا قَالَ سَلَامٌ قَوْمٌ مُنْكَرُونَ – الذاريات – 25
As for the meaning of this saying : May Allah protect you from every evil and harm and trail. And that you make dua for your Muslim brother with this. The meaning is same for both the sayings.
