As-salāmu ʿalaikum (Arabic: السلام عليكم‎‎ is a Muslim greeting in Arabic that means "Peace be upon you".

The greeting is a standard salutation among Muslims, even those in countries where Arabic is not the spoken language. The Hebrew equivalent, used among Jews, is shalom aleikhem (שלום עליכם).

It means "peace be upon you" in Arabic. It is used as a greeting throughout the world by Muslims. The proper reply back is "wa alaikum assalaam" which means "and peace be upon you."
