From our TTC days many years ago in NZ and Australia, i have always loved the way you have looked at a situation/topic and done your best to be fair to the difference of opinions by our great scholars. I find this to be no exception. Jazak Allah Khair. This is exactly what i was looking for with this particular topic. May Allah increase you and your family and may we meet each other again, if not sooner, then in Jannah Firdows InshaAllah.

I know namaste literary means just 'I bow to you but some people give complex backgrounds like 'The God in me bows down to the God in You' etc. etc. how far this is correct? and secondly what does 'Namaskar' mean?

I love them so much because even many fellow Muslims don't do this with me. I've blessed them as well overwhelmed by their kind behaviour. They really read it and reflect on them and never show disrespect, it makes me so happy!! I’ve come across Christians who read the Islamic writings i share and respond with kind words and enthusiasm.

If someone says "salaam" you can respond with "wa alaykum assalam" which means "and on you be peace." If you would like to say peace be upon him after the name of the Prophet Muhammad (s) that's wonderful too. It's all up to you. Calling him a prophet or wishing someone peace are wonderful gestures of support and community. That’s beautiful that you would like to know how to best interact with Muslims!

I wonder, should I initiate a greeting? If so, what? And what should I respond with if I am greeted with 'salaam'? In trying to be respectful if I refer to Muhammad should I say Peace Be Upon Him afterwards? I'm not Muslim but I don't want to offend. Or is it better to refer to him as the Prophet? does this require PBUH afterwards too? Thank you. I’m non-Muslim, but I have many Muslim friends, and I have lived with a Muslim family.
