'As-salamu alaikum' is a common greeting in Islam, which translates to 'peace be upon you'.
The five compulsory prayers for Muslims are Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha.

'Halal' is an Arabic term that means 'permissible' or 'lawful', referring to food and drink that comply with Islamic law.
The key requirement for food to be considered halal is that it must come from a permissible source, be slaughtered in the name of Allah, and be free from any impurities.
The opposite of 'halal' is 'haram', which means 'forbidden' or 'unlawful'.
Examples of food and drink that are not considered halal include pork, animal by-products, and intoxicants.

When preparing gift baskets for Muslim families, consider including halal food items, dates, and other permissible treats.
To greet a Muslim woman, use the formal greeting 'as-salamu alaikum' and respect her personal space and cultural norms.
