Acting upon the sunnahs of salam brings great reward and benefit. Here are three hadith of the Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم in this regard.

1.   When two Muslims meet and one gives salam to his friend, he who displays more warmth is more loved by Allah. A hundred mercies descend when they shake hands. Ninety of them are for he who advanced first and ten are for the one whose hand was shaken.^[1]

2.   He who advances to shake hands first is free from arrogance.^[2]

3.   He who gives salam first is the closest of people to Allah.^[3]

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                     صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Department for Handling Religious Literature

Dear Islamic brothers! In Dawat-e-Islami, manners and respect are not merely spoken about, but actually shown. This is evident from the fact that alongside having over 80 departments working to spread the sunnah, Dawat-e-Islami also has its Department for Handling Religious Literature, which works to deal with religious literature and protect it from being disrespected or thrown away.

Members of this department hail from a variety of backgrounds. They include scholars, imams, masjid committee members, businessmen, shop owners, and more. With their help, boxes and collection points are set up to collect religious literature, which are then buried, submerged in water, or preserved, all in complete accordance with Islamic law and Dawat-e-Islami’s guidelines.
