For those who aren’t 100% familiar with arabic, we have compiled a Glossary of Terms for ease of reference which relate to our ”Islamic Wills / Sharia Wills” page.
Asalam alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ – This is the formal greeting to a Muslim and means “may the peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah swt be upon you“.

(Sahih al-Bukhari; #7:168, Sahih Muslim; #4:2071).
