Greetings of Peace Tee (Emerald)

Greetings of Peace is a reminder that the simplest words can carry the greatest weight.

The front features the Arabic greeting السلام عليكم (As-salāmu ʿalaykum), meaning "Peace be upon you." More than a greeting, it is a supplication—a prayer that the person before you be granted peace, mercy, and safety.

On the back, the same message appears in modern minimalistic font in English: PEACE BE UPON YOU. Together, the two languages bridge cultures through a greeting that speaks to something every soul longs for. What begins in Arabic is completed in English, reminding us that peace is a language understood far beyond words.

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ elevated this greeting beyond etiquette. He said:

"Shall I tell you something that, if you do it, you will love one another? Spread peace (the greeting of salām) among yourselves."
— Sahih Muslim (Hadith 54)

As Strivers, this piece reflects the belief that what we wear can become an extension of our character. A garment can carry more than fabric. It can carry a reminder, an invitation, and a prayer. Every time someone reads these words, whether in Arabic or English, they are reminded of a greeting that was meant to build love, soften hearts, and strengthen community.

Some messages are meant to be worn. Some words are meant to be shared. Peace be upon you is both. It is a greeting, a prayer, and a reminder that every encounter is an opportunity to leave the world with a little more peace than you found it.
