What is the significance of saying Assalaamu Alaikum?

However, it is absolutely disastrous to see that a few of us have traded something so delightful for something appalling when we quit saying Assalaamu Alaikum and began with 'Hello' or 'Hey'.


It is particularly dismal to see a portion of our childhood, who don't have the foggiest idea of how to state the words plainly and appropriately.
