Why do Muslims say: Prophet Mohammad (Peace be upon him)?
Is peace not already upon him?If he was a Puran Brahmgyaani-Atamgyani, then surely peace is upon him anyway, without us mere mortals saying so?
What does salal lah alaih wa salam mean anyway?
Does it mean "Peace be upon him"?Or does it mean "Peace is upon him"?
I know I'm sounding shallow.But still, I can't but feel it is a bit pretentious.Is it me?

Well muslim's use 'Peace Be Upon Him' for all the Prophets, not only Muhammed(pbuh). Its used as a sign of respect, appreciation, and good will. Muslim's truly respect him for wht the prophets were and wht they did for us.......and since we believe that they has done SOO much for us and brought us towards the right path, we also try doing something for them by saying "peace be upon him" which gives them an even higher rank. you asked if he was already in peace or not...well that will be decided on the Day of Judgement, he was a normal human being like the rest of us, therefore s final destination will also be decided no the day of judgement.
