All Are Welcome.

Everybody is welcome to join our community; you don't have to be Muslim. Friends are welcome!

Rules

Moderation shall not be arbitrary, and this is a work in progress. We'll try to be as fair as possible, so keep these as a grounding framework:

Be polite. It doesn't matter what the issue is; we have to keep our akhlāq (أخلاق) to seriously high standards.
Keep it ḥalāl (حلال). We humbly require users not to make posts or comments that are against Islam, even technically. This rule along with the first one encompasses nearly everything, but the following rules are for additional clarification and reminder.
No promotion of violence or extremism. It will get removed immediately.
No sectarianism or bigotry. We don't all agree, but we respect each other. It doesn't matter Muslim or non-Muslim.

Should I give salams as a non-muslin? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Apparently it's not allowed for muslims to give me salam but nothing saying I can't initiate it.

Given this, do people expect me to initiate a salam? Or do I just say hi and go about my day.

Context: muslim friends at school

I have Persian friends, most of whom are not religious. I greet them in Farsi pretty regularly.

Yeah I had a Pakistani friend in high school and I greeted him in arabic but I'm not sure all people are that welcoming. I might just ask my new Jordan friend what he's comfortable with.
