Question on the Final Salaams of the Prayer
One of the great masters of Islamic spirituality, Ibn `Ajiba, raised a similar question: giving salams is only legislated when meeting someone after being absent from them. One does not, for example, give salams to someone who has been in the room with one for the past hour. Why, then, does one close one’s prayer by giving salams to those around one, regardless of whether they are present or absent, and regardless of whether they were already in the room when one began one’s prayer?
He answered this question as follows,
It is as though one was absent [h: during one's prayer] in the divine presence. Thus, when one comes out of the prayer, it is as though one has returned after being absent [h: from everything in the universe], and one therefore gives salams to people. [4]
May Allah Most High infuse our prayers with His love and reverence. Ameen. And Allah Most High knows best.
Hamza.
Subhanallah.

Words of Wisdom
Truly amazing is the believer’s affair. Everything transpiring in his life is good for him. This is something that only occurs for the believer. If a blessing is his lot, he gives thanks for it, and this is good for him. And if he is afflicted with hardship, he patiently endures it, and this is good for him.
– The Prophet Muhammad (salallahu alayhi wa sallam)
