Respect of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم

The Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم is the last prophet of Allah سبحانه وتعالى and the best in his manners and his status among all human-beings. No one can be a Muslim without believing in his prophethood and without carrying his love and respect in the heart beyond the respect and love of anyone else in this world including one’s parents. This respect for the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم was not only demanded from his companions and family members during interaction with him; but is also incumbent upon all Muslims when referring to the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, when listening to his sayings; and when their personal opinion or the opinion of the society stands contrary to the opinion of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. The best and most practical way of expressing our respect and love to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم is to sacrifice our personal wishes in our daily life and obey the advice and teachings of the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم.
