Some Provisions of Peace in Islam

Abstract

The Study aimed to identify peace (Tahyya), and some of its provisions in certain cases to get benefit from them, like return the greeting during the call to prayer, its establishment, the prayer (Salat), and sermon. The study clarified that peace is a special greeting between Muslims that means safety from all pests and misfortunes. Also, beginning with peace is Sunnah and its reply is an obligatory. In addition, the reward for it depends on its form among situations. Moreover, it is permissible according to the majority of jurists to return the greeting of peace in the call to prayer and the Iqama, as well as while the imam is giving a sermon. Else, it is forbidden to return it verbally in prayer, but desirable only with reference.
