Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Adab as-Salat: The Disciplines of the Prayer Second Revised Edition Concerning The Meaning And The Secret Of The Salām And Its Disciplines It is stated in Misbāh ash-Sharī'ah that Imām as-Sādiq (' a ) said: “The meaning of the salām at the end of each salāt is 'security,' that is, whoever obeys the command of Allah and the tradition of His Prophet ( s ), with a submissive heart, will be secured from the trials of this world and exempted from the tortures of the Hereafter.

' Salām ' is one of the names of Allah, the Exalted. He trusted it to His creatures so that they may use its concept in their transactions, trusts and annexations, exemplifying reciprocal companionship among themselves and the correctness of their association. If you wish to use the salām in its proper place and according to its meaning, you must fear Allah, and your religion, heart and mind should be secured on your part.

So, do not make them filthy by the darkness of sinning, and do not cause your protectors (angels) to be vexed, tired and disgusted with your maltreating them. Both your friend and, your enemy should be secured from you, as the one whose close friends are not secured from him, the strangers are certainly more expected not to be so.

And whoever does not put the salām in those proper places, his will be no salām and no taslīm , and his salām will be a false one, even if he shows it off before the people**.**[^1][^2] Being secured from the trials of this world means to be secured from satanic intrusions, because obeying the commands of Allah secures one against the intrusion of Satan: “ Surely prayer forbids indecency and dishonor.” [^3] Then, he refers to one of the secrets of the “ salām ” and says: “ salām” ' is one of the Names of Allah.

He trusted it to His creatures.” This is a hint at the appearance of beings from the Divine Names. The sālik servant should declare this divine grace, which has been trusted in the inside of his essence and nature, and use it in all of his dealings, associations, trusts and relationships, and spread it throughout his inside and outside domains. He should use it in his dealings with Allah and His religion so as not to betray the divine trust.

Thus, he is to spread the truth of ” salām ” in all his worldly and heavenly powers as well as in his customs, beliefs, morals, and actions, so that he may be secured from all intrusions. The way to this security is, thus, said to be taqwā .
