This article deals with a problem that is very important for everyone who studies the Muslim culture and the Islamic faith, not excluding people who are inside this culture itself. We are talking about the need to correct some patterns that have become familiar in the Russian translation of particularly significant Arabic sacred formulas, and in particular the one that often follows the name of the Prophet Muhammad in texts and in everyday life among Muslims - salla allahu ' alayhi wa-sallama (sallallahu alayhi wa-sallam).
