Got this thru e-mail today...quite funny....

 

 

The origin of Allsalmualaikum and Mualikumsalam is not Middle Eastern,

 

it's Hokkien!!

 

 

Ha! ha! ha! … I had a good 5 minutes laugh...Enjoy!!..ha! ha! ha!

 

 

Why corruption in this world will never be eradicated!

 

Because when officials meet, they remind one another:

 

Official A says: ''Wa salah Lu Mai Kong' (Allsalamualaikum)

 

Official B replies: 'Wa Mai Kong Lu Salah' (Mualaikumsalam)

 

So now we know the origin of Allsalmualaikum and Mualikumsalam is not Middle Eastern, it's Hokkien!!

Neutral Newbie
not funny leh!!

 

i don think it is funny to make jokes of someones religion..... [thumbsdown][thumbsdown][thumbsdown][thumbsdown][rifle][rifle]

 

Yea it's not funny to make jokes of someone elses' religion. But it's not...

 

"As-salaam alaykum" means "Peace Be With You".

"Wa alaykum as-salaam" means "And With You Peace", in response to "peace be with you".

 

So... Yeah. Now you know.

 

But thread starter isn't funny. I get it, but it's not funny leh.
