My Muslim client asked me that question after a meeting ended yesterday morning.
I was puzzled and taken aback.
'When you write 'Salam semua' in your email...,' he said.
'Ahh...now I know why he's asking...,' I thought to myself. Though I knew it meant peace, I hesitated and answered, 'It's a greeting.'
'Yes, it's a greeting but do you know what it means...,' he probed further. This time, I replied confidently saying, 'Peace!'
Then, my Muslim colleague supported my answer with these four words - PEACE BE UPON YOU!!
