When I mention the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) in conversation, sometimes instead of saying "Sala Allahu 'alaihi wa sallam", my hands, of their own volition, want to make the sign of the cross

now i KNOW that's probably fairly blasphemous, but it just takes so freaking long to SAY "Sal Allahu 'alaihi wa sallam", and if Muslims only had something like that which could be communicated in sign language, I wouldn't have to chop up my thoughts and sentences with long.... whatever-you-call-ems

what DO you call those?


Neways.... what if instead we just like... gave a thumbs up.

Like, the Prophet Muhammad (thumbs up, yeah!)


... ok, no that doesn't work at all. Even I think that that's wrong and sorta disrespectful.

But there's gotta be sooomething
