Muslims do
not worship Prophet Muhammad ﷺ in any way. We believe that he was the last
messenger, the leader of all the Prophets, sent by Almighty Allah ﷻ like all
his other Prophets and Messengers. However, some people mistakenly assume that
Muslims worship Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
Prophet
Muhammad ﷺ , like Jesus, never claimed a divine status. He called people to
worship Almighty Allah ﷻ alone. Prophet Muhammad ﷺ always referred himself as “Allah’s
servant and messenger”
Prophet
Muhammad ﷺ was chosen to be Almighty Allah’s final messenger and to communicate
His message to us, not only in words, but also in deeds as a living example of
its practical application. Muslims love and respect him because of his
impeccable and upright moral character and because he perfectly conveyed the
truth from Almighty Allah and because he is the beloved, chosen and loved by
Allah , the Most wise-which indeed is the pure monotheism of Islam.
Muslims
strive to follow the ideal and great example of the beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ,
but do not worship him in any way. Islam teaches Muslims to love and respect
all of Almighty Allah’s Prophets and messengers. However respecting and loving
them does not mean worshiping them. There is a distinct difference between respect
and worship. Muslims know that all worship must be directed to Almighty Allah ﷻ
alone.
