Why do some Muslims use the human figure male or female eg Mogul art yet others say that to do this is against Islam?

The prohibition on images in Islam, first, is a Sunni prohibition that Shiites do no accept. This is why, to this day, you can find pictures of Muhammad freely sold in Iran by Muslims for Muslims. Second, the prohibition has waxed and waned in importance. It is much more important today as Muslims use it as a way to assert their identity and uniqueness and resist the homogenizing effects of assimilation. Historically, this was much less of a concern.

What do you say after the you say the name of Prophet Muhammad?

I don't say anything because I am not a Muslim. Muslims say "peace be upon him". I have heard anti-Muslims say much ruder things, but I find this unnecessarily insulting. After mentioning the name the holy Prophets the Muslims say, e.g.: Hazrat Abraham (AS- Alai-his-salam or May peace be upon him) After the name of Hazrat Muhammad the Muslims say Sallal la ho alai wasallam or may say the May peace be upon him. The Muslims must respect all the holy Prophets (May peace be upon them all). It is obligatory on them.
