Like Muhammad

One who studies the life of Prophet Muhammad will come to realize why he is so much loved by the Almighty.

in many Islamic traditions, the Prophet Muhammad is seen as the conduit through which God’s guidance comes to humanity. Love for the Prophet is thus framed as part of loving God, because he embodies Allah’s message, character, and mercy.

Muslims believe Muhammad was chosen to convey the Quran and exemplify the Sunnah (the Prophet’s way). Attaching love to him is often understood as honoring the divine revelation and obeying God’s commands, since the Prophet’s mission aligns with God’s will.

To know Allah is know His creation, and the best of His creation is Muhammad, Prophet and Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him and his progeny, the one loved most by Allah. To love Muhammad is to love Allah, and to love Allah is to love Muhammad. Whoever loves Muhammad is loved by Allah, and whoever is loved by Allah will have nothing to worry about. And how can anyone not love Muhammad unless he is sick in the heart and in the mind, sick with prejudice and arrogance, with ignorance and conceit?!

One who studies the life of this greatest personality that ever walked on the face of earth will come to realize why he is so much loved by the Almighty, why he is so holy, so pure, so refined. Such knowledge, it is hoped, will benefit the Muslims who wish to follow in his footsteps and be gathered in his company on the Day of Judgment; this is the ultimate desire and hope of every true believer. May Allah count us and your own self among them, Allahomma Aameen.
