May I ask:1. What is the significance of the terms (sa) (swt.) and (pbuh) from the view point of Islam. I see those terms in the comments section. I understand it as a basic respect but is there deeper meaning going on here? I am meaning is it part of your revealed faith as in the Holy Quran is it devotional as in you want to offer respect or prayer, is it tradition. If I am a follower of Islam and I do not use the terms above is it a rude matter, unwise or does it rise to the level of sin.

2. Also I have only glimpse of understanding here about Tradition, Law and Holy Quran as in the Prophet's words, ( pbuh ), do you have a prior video discussing the difference - my memory seems to recall you touched upon ( Haddith (spelling maybe off) and Sharia) as in Faith and Law, can you refer me to one of your videos explaining this second question. Thank you.

Muhammad asked for forgiveness because he was a sinner. Simple as that. If Muhammad was just a human and making mistakes, like Shabir says, then according to that logic Jesus wasn't just a human, since he didn't sin, confirmed by both Quran and the Bible. Jesus forgave sins of others, something only God can do, which makes Him higher than Muhammad. Muslims wait for the return of Jesus, not Muhammad, because Muhammad is dead and Jesus is alive.

Rubbish! If he's a prophet why should he ask forgiveness. So he just an ordinary man.

In one sentence you say he is perfect and other you say just like man he can sin because he is a man can you explain me this.
