Wondering about saying 'Peace be upon him' when mentioning Prophet Muhammad ﷺ (from someone learning)

Hey everyone, I wanted to ask something that's been on my mind. I come from a different background religiously, but I genuinely respect Islam and everything it has contributed to the world-it's really admirable. When talking about Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, is it okay for me to say 'Peace be upon him'? I say it out of respect because I don't want to disrespect something that means so much to so many people. Even though my beliefs are different, I believe in respecting all faiths since we can't really know everything for sure. So my question is: should I always say it when mentioning him? I just want to make sure I'm being respectful in conversations. Thanks for your help!

That's thoughtful of you. If you're trying to be respectful, then saying peace be upon him is perfect.

You asking this shows real respect. Yeah, you can say it, it's appreciated. No one expects non-Muslims to do it, but it's a nice gesture.

I appreciate your attitude. In Islam, we say 'sallallahu alayhi wa sallam' or 'peace be upon him' after mentioning the Prophet. Using it shows you honor our tradition, so please do.
