Dua When Meeting Someone
When meeting another Muslim, we should begin with the beautiful greeting of Salam. Islam teaches Muslims to spread peace and return the greeting with an equal or better greeting.
Dua in Arabic
السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ
Roman English
Assalaamu ‘alaikum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu.
English Meaning
“Peace be upon you, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.”
Reference
Surah An-Nisa 4:86 — Allah Ta’ala teaches that when you are greeted with a greeting, you should respond with one better than it or at least return it equally.
Note: This is more accurately described as the Islamic greeting of Salam rather than a specific Prophetic Dua for meeting someone. Saying Salam when meeting Muslims is an important Sunnah and Islamic etiquette.
