Which is the correct islamic honorific to use after Mariam(Mother of Eeasaa [A.W])? - رضي الله عنه (Radi Allahu 'anha) or - عليه والسلام (Alahi wasllam) Same question for Asiya, wife of the Fir-aun. Both these ladies' names are mentioned in Al-Quran. I need to know the Islamic honorific for these two and What is the reason for that?

In Shia view, people use (Alayh Al Salam = A.S.) after the name of Imams, but in Sunni view, (Rathi Allahu Anh = R.A.) is used. What is the reason behind or how do we know which one to use in this website?

I really find no reason to apply a blanket "Radiyallahu Anhu"(Allah is pleased with him) to all Sahaba specially those involved in fighting with Ahlebayt and breaking pledge with Hasan A.S? Also I found no Ahadith mentioning virtues of Muaviyah almost all other major sahabas have meritorious hadith praising them >Quran 9:100. And the first to embrace Islam of the Muhajirun (those who migrated from Makkah to Al-Madinah) and the Ansar (the citizens of Al-Madinah who helped and gave aid to the Muhajirun) and also those who followed them exactly (in Faith). **Allah is well-pleased with them as they are well-pleased with Him**. He has prepared for them Gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise), to dwell therein forever. That is the supreme success. I have the understanding that the verse Sura Tauba 9:100 from where "Radiyallahu Anhu" is taken applies at least to all to Muhajir and Ansar and Muawiyah was neither, does he also include in 9:100? Is my understanding correct as I respect all Sahabas ? but my heart does not allow me to say this after such people? And I believe but not sure of earliest texts of the first three generations of Muslims ever applied any salutation to any of the Sahaba.

I have found some discrepancies in using this term "*Radiyallahu Anhu*" does it mean: 1) May Allah be pleased with him (A dua to Allah) OR 2) Allah is pleased with him (A statement about whom Allah is pleased with) I want the answer to be based on the meaning in Quran 9:100, if it means the former(1) (A dua to Allah) then what is the arabic expression for the latter(2) i.e Allah is pleased with him ? Also if it means the latter(2) then shouldn't such a statement be used only by Allah , since ALLAH alone knows whom he is pleased with which he explicitly mentions in 9:100.? 9:100: > And the first forerunners [in the faith] among the > Muhajireen and the Ansar and those who followed them with good conduct > - Allah is pleased with them and they are pleased with Him, and He has prepared for them gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will > abide forever. That is the great attainment. >وَالسَّابِقُونَ > الْأَوَّلُونَ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَالْأَنصَارِ وَالَّذِينَ > اتَّبَعُوهُم بِإِحْسَانٍ رَّضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ وَرَضُوا عَنْهُ > وَأَعَدَّ لَهُمْ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْرِي تَحْتَهَا الْأَنْهَارُ خَالِدِينَ > فِيهَا أَبَدًا ۚ ذَٰلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيمُ

(I know very little about Islam so please keep your answers understandable to those that don't know all the terms.) I understand that *"PBUH"* is an abbreviation for *"Peace Be Upon Him"*, which is an honorific to show love and respect to the mentioned persons. Is this as honorable as fully saying the statement 'Peace Be Upon Him'? Are there examples of PBUH being used *before* the internet was here, because it seems like a bit of a shortcut, which to me seems a bit less respectable. As an example, it would be like a man telling his wife "I love you Susie" from his own heart. Then one day the man wrote the letters "ILYS" on his hand and every time he mentioned his wife's name he'd show her his hand. Does the Quran state that this kind of abbreviation is equally honoring and respectable?
