Excellent question — you're asking about proper Islamic etiquette, and that's always a beautiful thing to learn more about 🌙

🔹 1. During Ablution (Wudu):

Yes, it is allowed to give and return Islamic salutations during wudu (ablution).

  • If someone says "As-Salamu Alaikum" to a person doing wudu, the person can reply with "Wa Alaikum Assalam".

  • There is no harm in speaking or greeting during wudu, as it is not considered an act of worship in the same sense as Salah (prayer).

  • In fact, it is recommended to say Bismillah before starting wudu and some duas afterward — so speaking is naturally a part of it.

🔹 2. During Prayer (Salah):

No, it is not allowed to give or return Islamic salutations during the actual performance of Salah.

  • If someone says "As-Salamu Alaikum" to a person who is praying, the person should not reply until the prayer is complete.

  • Responding with words would break the prayer, because worldly speech is not permitted during Salah.

  • The Prophet ﷺ said:

    “Verily, in this prayer, there is no human speech...”
    (Sahih Muslim)

🕌 However, at the end of the prayer, Muslims end it by saying:

  • "As-Salamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullah" to the right and left — this is part of the prayer itself.

Allah is one and second to none.

  Refutation of theory of evolution of Darwin in light of science and reality: Anyone who seeks an answer to the question of how living things, including himself, came into existence, will encounter two distinct explanations. The first is the fact that all living things were created by the All-Wise and Almighty Allah. The second explanation is the theory of "evolution," which claims that living things are the products of coincidental causes and natural processes. For a century and a half now, the theory of evolution has received extensive support from the scientific community. The science of biology is defined in terms of evolutionist concepts. That is why, between the two explanations of creation and evolution, the majority of people assume the evolutionist explanation to be scientific. Accordingly, they believe evolution to be a theory supported by the observational findings of science, while creation is thought to be a belief based on faith. As a matter of fact, however, s...
