It’s a phrase of respect.
What’s not to understand? The Jews usually say in their prayers, “The Holy One, Blessed be He”; it is the same kind of honoring.
Fast foward a couple thousand years to 2014 and I can translate this to you in English…
“Praise be upon him” = “Fuck yea! Mohammed!”
They don’t. They say “peace be upon him”. It’s also a phrase they use in reference to other prophets such as Adam, Noah, Abraham and Jesus.
“May the force be with you”
“And also with you”
Yeah, that got me in trouble more than once with my in-laws, and my wife, when she was a “good” Catholic
Maybe respect but more likely for most because it has become habit.
Why do Muslims do anything they do? Years of brainwashing.
I’m reading the Koran right now, and it’s in there just about “Peace be upon him” is in there just about every time his name is mentioned, which is often several times per page. So anyone who has been schooled in Islam has that phrase emblazoned into their minds.
It’s just a sign of respect since Prophet Mohammad was the one who conveyed god’s message to the people.
