The proper greetings words are:

  • Assalamu Aleikom (that means in English Peace be upon you), or
  • Assalamu Aleikom WA Rahmatoh Allah (that means in English Peace and Mercy of Allah be upon you), or
  • Assalamu Aleikom WA Rahmatoh Allah WA Barakatoh (that means in English Peace and Mercy and blessings of Allah be upon you).

The reponding words are:

  • Wa Aleikom Assalam (that means in English Peace be upon you, too), or
  • Wa Aleikom Assalam WA Rahmatoh Allah (that means in English Peace and Mercy of Allah be upon you, too), or
  • Wa Aleikom Assalamu WA Rahmatoh Allah WA Barakatoh (that means in English Peace and Mercy and blessings of Allah be upon you, too).

The proper phrase is "Assalamu 'alaykum," which means "Peace be upon you."

The traditional response is WA alaikum assalam, which means "and on you be peace."

Muslims greet each other by saying salam alaykum meaning peace be upon you and then the person repies by saying WA alaykum salam meaning and peace be upon you

'asalamu alaykum' which means 'may the peace and blessings of Allah [god] be upon you'well me myself as a Muslim we say as a Islamic universal greeting

'asalamu alaykum' which means 'may the peace and blessings of Allah [god] be upon you'

Of course, you, as Muslim, can reply for a greeting from a non Muslim and you can greet the non Muslim. Islam religion does not forbid you from being kind, and decent in your living with non Muslim so far they don't attack you, attack your lands and properties, or attack your religion.

In the Quran, Holy book of Islam, God says (meaning English Translation):

" God does not forbid you from showing kindness and dealing justly with those who have not fought you about religion and have not driven you out of your homes. God loves just dealers."(Quran, chapter 60, verse 8)

I'm shia Ismaili girl can you marry to shea boy?

Yes if you're a Muslim yourself you may do so by your mutual will. But if not, it is an Islamic rule for muslim women to marry only Muslim men, and for Muslim men, they may marry among women of other religion who are from the people of the book, that is Christians or Jews. If you are a woman yourself, regardless of your religion, it is against Islamic Law for you to marry a Muslim woman.
