It always makes me think of Fred Flinstone and the Water Buffalo Lodge. Wasn't the leader called the Grand Poobah?
But Muslims, how does Allah feel about abbreviations? Isn't "pbuh" an indicator that you really don't care enough to type it out completely?

It means "peace be upon him"....said when mentioning the name of Jesus, Mohammad and other great prophets who have died. No, they do not beleive that Jesus is dead, though. They believe that it is he who will come to judge everyone at the end of the age.
Akbar means "great" -- as in "Allah akbar"...God is great".

It is only used when they say Muhammed and it is supposed to mean Peace Be Upon Him. It is something they are required to do or they will be dishonoring Muhammed.

It means "peace be upon him". We like to bless our prophets whenever we think or speak about them.

They put it after Muhammad, or sometimes Jesus ... it means peace be upon him. It's out of respect.
