'Alayhi al-Salam: Difference between revisions

The phrases 'alayh al-salam and salam Allah 'alayha are respectively abbreviated as (a) and (s).<ref>See: Subḥānī Tabrīzī, ''Āʾīn-i wahhābiyat'', p. 274; </ref> Some scholars believe that it is a common mistake, and in fact, disrespectful, to write the abbreviated forms of these phrases. To the contrary, [[Muhammad Kazim Kazimi]], a Shiite author and poet, holds that the abbreviated form is better than repetition of the phrase in its full form, because this keeps the text succinct and uniform, and on the other hand, it reminds the reader of the author’s respect of the prophet or Imam in question. Kazemi believes that honoring prominent religious figures with the familiar Arabic phrases tends to turn them into platitudes.
