Some people mistakenly believe that Muslims worship Muhammad (peace
be upon him) in the same way followers of other religions revere their
prophets or symbols.
However, this is completely incorrect.
In Islam, worship is exclusively directed to Allah alone, with no partners.
Muslims harbor immense love for Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon
him), follow his teachings, and invoke his name in their prayers, but they
never worship him.
He was a human being, a messenger sent by Allah,
entrusted solely with the task of conveying His message, not with divinity.
The Quran explicitly states: Say,
“I am only a man like you; it has been revealed to me that your God is One God
(Quran 18:110, Surah Al-Kahf)
This means that Muhammad (peace be upon him) himself called people
to worship Allah alone, not to worship him.
Our love for him (peace be upon him) does not equate to worshiping him;
rather, it signifies our obedience to him in what he commanded, as he is a
messenger from the one true God.
