In Brazil and Portugal, 'Profeta Muhammad' is the respectful and standard term used in both Muslim and non-Muslim contexts. The older Portuguese form 'Maomé' is considered somewhat archaic but may still appear in historical literature. Muslims typically add the honorific phrase 'Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam' (Peace and blessings be upon him) when mentioning his name in religious contexts. The term is used neutrally in educational and media settings in both countries.
