A term of "connection" to Christians in the US is "God Bless You!" It wishes, of course, nothing but the best for those at whom it is directed.

Are there such phrases that are common to other faiths? For example, if I'm addressing a Muslim--is there something akin to "God Bless You!" that I would say to a Muslim? What about a Buddhist? Or any other faith?

Nigeria is so richly diverse that I thought it would be a good place to direct the question.

Thank you in advance for your input.

I may be mistaken, but I think the Jews use 'Shalom' which means peace as their own form of 'connection'

Muslims probably have a larger variety such as 'Asalam Alaiykum' (spelling?), which has something to do with peace as well. Northerners/Hausas use Sannu - which I don't think is directly linked to any religion as such

Thank you, debosky! Your input is much appreciated and helpful, as well! BTW what does "Sannu" mean?

Others?
