Quote:Mohammad(pbuh) was no more than a messenger and I am even less than that.
No more than messenger? okay Messenger of WHO??
And why was he chosen from amongst all humans??
And are all humans the same??
The true Question is do we worship Prophet Muhammad( Peace be upon him) as we worship Allah ( Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala)
No we Don't, he is just a Prophet and Messenger who was chosen by Allah(Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala) amongst all human beings
because of his pure desendant to Father Abraham, and then his high morals, and we do not forget that he was described by Allah(Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala) in The Holy Quran as:
Bismillah Al-RAhman Al-RAheem:
4. And verily, you (O Muhammad ) are on an exalted standard of character.
68, Surat Al-Qalam
This is enough that he was Described by Allah(Subhanahu W Ta'ala) as of high morals.
Bismillah Al-RAhman Al-RAheem:
79. And in some parts of the night (also) offer the Salât (prayer) with it (i.e. recite the Qur'an in the prayer), as an additional prayer (Tahajjud optional prayer Nawâfil) for you (O Muhammad ). <b>It may be that your Lord will raise you to Maqâman Mahmûda (a station of praise and glory, i.e. the highest degree in Paradise!)</b>.
17, Surat Al-Isra'
We do not worship prophet Muhammad or consider him as Ilah, but he is a chosen human being by Allah(Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala) which gives him that importanace we give, and the respect and love we have for him, hoping to be his companions in paradise.
Alhamdulilah for the blessing of Islam, Alhamdulilah for the blessing of Iman.
And as u said u r less than that, then u r not chosen then u r not a messenger of Allah Almighty, then Prophet Muhammad is <b>Better</b> than u and me and all human beings born.
