How can we cultivate the deep love for the Prophet Muhammad?




The Prophet Muhammad was a teacher, guide, and leader.

He brought the message of the oneness of God that lives on among the Muslims today.

How can we cultivate the deep love for the Prophet Muhammad?

And how do we best show our love for him?

With me is Dr. Shabir Aly, President of the Islamic Information Center, on “Let the Quran Speak”

Q: Dr. Shabir, I guess many Muslims do love the Prophet Muhammad already, naturally. Why is that so?

A: Of course, being a Muslim and subscribing to the basic creed of Islam naturally places a Muslim in that loving relationship with our Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). We declare that there is no God but God and that Muhammad is the messenger of God.

We know of the One God, we know about His message through Muhammad who brought that message to us, and so the act of being a Muslim just involves so much of following the Prophet’s example and that Muslims would naturally love the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
