For those who don't already know, "pbuh" is an acronym for "peace be upon him."
Why do people find it necessary to place this after then name of a prophet or messenger when writing or speaking their name? I commonly see this used when Muslims speak of Muhammed, and less frequently see it used with others, such as Jesus (okay, I only saw this once).
Why must this be said or written when speaking of such a person? Are they somehow deserving of more peace than anyone else when their body perishes? Why is it not just assumed?
