Extended forms include 'Wa alaykumu s-salam wa rahmatullah' ( وعليكم السلام ورحمة الله, May the peace and mercy of Allah be with you too) and 'Wa alaykumu s-salam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh' ( وعليكم السلام ورحمة الله وبركاته, May the peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be with you too). The greeting is regularly exchanged during Muslim lectures and sermons. Salam has been a standard salutation among Muslims. The greeting is considered an important Islamic duty and obligation. They are used prior to a conversation and are said to be good manners. The greetings are intentional communications to acknowledge someone's presence, or to make someone feel welcomed. It is the standard response to the As-salamu alaykum ( السلام عليكم) greeting. Wa alaykumu as-salam or Wa ‘alaykum al-salaam ( وعليكم السلام) is an Arabic greeting often used by Muslims around the world translating nearly to 'And unto you peace', but is far more than the often used 'hello' or 'good day' in English.
