When Islam came, Allaah prescribed that the manner of greeting among Muslims should be "Al-salaamu alaykum," and that this greeting should only be used among Muslims and not for other nations. The meaning of salaam (literally, peace) is harmlessness, safety and protection from evil and from faults. The name al-Salaam is a Name of Allaah, may He be exalted, so the meaning of the greeting of salaam which is required among Muslims is, "May the blessing of His Name descend upon you." The usage of the preposition 'ala in 'alaykum (upon you) indicates that the greeting is inclusive.

It means "peace be upon you". I believe it is a traditional Islamic greeting, to which the proper response would be "wa alaikum assalam", which means "and to you, peace". I have also seen it separated into two words, written as "Assalamu alaikum." Hope this helps!
