To different lawyers it means different things. Typically, the designation âof counselâ means an attorney who is employed by a firm but not as an associate or partner. Often the designee is a former judge or government official transitioning to private practice. Sometimes they have caseloads and busy calendars.
Answer: âAssalamu alaikumâ is the Islamic greeting which literally means âsalam (peace) be upon you.â. There are various opinions about the meaning of âsalamâ. It is narrated in a hadith that âSalamâ is one of the beautiful names of Allah (swt) meaning âpeace, the source of peace and safetyâ.
According to the eminent Maliki scholar Qadi Iyad, âsalamâ means âprotectionâ (muhafaza) and so âassalamu alaikumâ means â May Allahâs (swt) protection and care be with you.â He expresses that it is a dua in the meaning of âMay Allah (swt) be with youâ.
