00:00The Power of As-Salaamu Alaikum.
00:02One peaceful afternoon, little Hafsa sat quietly on a park bench, looking a bit sad.
00:08Her younger sister Ay-Aira noticed and asked,
00:11Ah-Aira, Hafsa, why are you so quiet?
00:15Hafsa, softly, I saw my friend today.
00:18I said hi, but she didn't say anything back.
00:21I think she ignored me.
00:22Just then, Mama walked over, smiling gently.
00:25Mama, oh Hafsa, sometimes people don't respond because they're busy or feeling shy.
00:30But do you know what the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, taught us?
00:34Hafsa, what, Mama?
00:35Mama, he taught us to greet each other by saying,
00:38As-Salaamu Alaikum Asterisk.
00:40It means, peace be upon you.
00:42It's not just a greeting, it's a dua, a prayer for peace.
00:46Ah-Aira, curious.
00:47Really, so it's better than just saying hi.
00:50Mama, yes, my loves.
00:52And when you say it with a smile, angels pray for you, too.
00:56It's a sunnah, a beautiful habit of our Prophet.
01:00The next day, Hafsa and Aira went to the park again.
01:02This time, they remembered what Mama said.
01:05Hafsa and Aira, together, happily,
01:07As-Salaamu Alaikum!
01:09The children they greeted turned and smiled warmly.
01:12Other kids, Wa-Alaikum As-Salaam.
01:16And just like that, a few kind words made everyone feel happy inside.
01:20Because when we begin with peace, we spread love, just like the Prophet taught us.
01:26Start with peace.
01:28Say, As-Salaamu Alaikum.
