Pillars of prayer
السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ
As-salamu'alaykumwarahmatullah
Peace and the mercy of Allah be upon you.
Taslim closes the prayer. It is not just a polite ending; it marks the end of salah.
A common beginner wording is As-salamu 'alaykum wa rahmatullah, traditionally given to the right and then to the left.
Learning taslim clearly helps the whole prayer feel complete.
