Is it a requirement to say/type this after the names of prophets under the Islamic beliefs?

Just asking because when I’m tired, it gets hard to read when it pops up often.

Thanks.

It is one of those things that “devoute” Muslims do but I am unware of it being a universal requirement, I have not come upon that particular law in my research. Its possible that it is a wahabist or salafist type protocol but not a moderate one.

The Muslim community is really REALLY flexible with interpretations and meanings so what one sect demands another will say is sinful…this is part of the problem we face in counter ideology efforts.

You’ll notice some of the Muslim denizens of this board do it and others don’t.

They are REQUIRED to mention it when its written or when speaking formally (like in sermon). SWT for Allah, SAW for muhammdad, AS for other prophets. Either moderate or conservative. It shows their respect to other prophets, their prophet and allah. So the answer would be Yes It Is a Requirement!

Thank you for the info, would you provide for me the source of that requirement, clearly I overlooked it and would like to add it to my notes.
Thanks,

When we say the prophets name, we are required to send peace and blessings. We dont have to write it, although some people like to…i sometimes do, i sometiems dont…depending on how tired my fingers are.

It is not a requirement in the sense that it is an obligation, no, but not doing it is a misery as regard to the benefits from saying it.

-Muslims send blessings on their beloved Prophet because Allah (SWT) and his Angels did and Allah (SWT) asked us to do the same: "“Lo! Allah and His angels shower blessings on the Prophet. O ye who believe! Ask blessings on him and salute him with a worthy salutation.” [Qur’an 33:56]

-When a person sends blessings upon the Prophet (PBUH) once, Allah bestows on him tenfold blessings. Yet, Allah’s reward exceeds the deeds of His servants. In his hadith, the Prophet said, “For one who sends blessings upon me once, Allah will send him tenfold blessings in return” (Narrated Muslim and others).

-A person who sends blessings upon the Prophet (PBUH) is elevated ten degrees, that is, he has the reward of ten good deeds added to his account.

-Also, such a person will have ten sins remitted. In his hadith, the Prophet (PBUH) said, “If one sends me blessings once, Almighty Allah will send him tenfold blessings, forgive him ten sins, and elevate him ten degrees.” Happy is the person who keeps on sending blessings on the Prophet. He receives great rewards in return for a good deed that does not require any effort but rather gives joy to those who love the Prophet (PBUH).

For more reading please go here.

As regards to the benefits, only a miser would refrain from sending peace and blessings on the beloved prophet may the peace and blessing of Allah (SWT) be upon him.

For other prophet of Allah (SWT) we invoke the peace on him saying (AS) Alaihi Salaam (may the peace be on him).

Salaam.
Joseph.

I have seen the “pbuh” thing too. What does “pbuh” mean?
