When two Muslims meet they greet each other with one saying “Al’salamualaikum” and the reply from the other “Mua’laikumsalam”
Meaning; “Peace be upon you” and the reply “And upon you be Peace!”
The origin of Allsalamualaikum and Mualikumsalam is not Arabic, it’s Hokkien!!
Why corruption in Malaysia will never be eradicated!
Because when officials meet, they remind one another:
Official A says: “‘Wa salah Lu Mai Kong” (Al’salamualaikum)
Official B replies: “Wa Mai Kong Lu Salah”(Mual’aikumsalam)
So now we know the origin of Allsalmualaikum and Mualaikumsalam is not Arabic but Hokkien!!
