Im doing a paper on islam and was reading a book (childrens book actually) and every time it said Muhammad it had a thing next to it, i cannot discribe it really well but it looks like a line and then a oval on its side. Whats it for?

You will see it next to the names of all the prophets.

i think i means that it is an inportant name thats being mentioned, and they was people to recognise that it is important ,or it must have a special meaning behind it..not really 100% sure either, but good question

I'm not sure, but it's probably the equivalence to saying "peace be upon him".

it is "sall allah alaih wa sallam" which is Peace and blessings be upon him in Arabic. they use it because it looks nice perhaps.
