Abstract

The research studies greeting of Arabs before Islam as a social feature they have, touching on the meaning and types of greeting, including the greeting of kings and princes and the greeting of the general public. It is drawn from their poems and their cultural heritage because of the cultural balance they left, given that every human society returned to traditions to deal with others and among themselves and preserved it generation after generation. It also sets foundations and rules for it. The Arabs were distinguished from other peoples by taking greetings to increase intimacy, love and harmony, and strengthen the bonds between them.
