MORE ELABORATED RESPONSE IN THE SAME PAGE OF QUORA: Isn’t “may peace be upon him” self-explanatory of the intention behind the statement? FOR UTILITY - Islam attempts practicality in every aspect and while other honorifics like “sir” and “madam” and “Sama” - indicate a person’s status, the Islamic honorific “peace be upon him” doesn’t just do so - in the case of prophets - but it also includes an actual wish for peace upon them. This furthermore increases love and respect for the prophet being spoken about, especially in the case of Isa or Jesus peace be upon him, it keeps Muslims in check in their debates with Christian brothers, from becoming accidentally disrespectful towards Jesus peace be upon him, in the heat of argument. This is similar to the Islamic greeting of “Assalamualaikum” - “may peace be with you”. While Hello or Hi are greeting sounds, and good morning/evening/night -shortened versions of “wish you a good morning”, saying “peace be upon you” draws upon your intention to actually intend your greeting in good faith, as opposed to just saying it for the sake. Trivia - honorifics for the companions of the prophet is “May Allah be pleased with him/her” | ||

Response to the same question from QUORA: That's the abbreviation for Sallallahu alayhi wasalam which means May the blessings of Allah and peace be upon him. Alayhissalam on the other hand means PBUH and we don't use it just for Prophet Muhammad SAW, we also use it for our other 25 prophets. For example Adam PBUH, Isa (Jesus) PBUH, Musa (Moses) PBUH, Ibrahim (Abraham) PBUH. | ||

Why why do they do it??? Why Muslims chant the aforementioned sentence in parentheses when they are referring to Mohammed always??? Why why why?? Capacity vundi, laziness, and uninspired life is a waste of time. YOLO kada.... But experiences is how you bring meaning to life. Worthiness should be earned with adequate efforts. |
