Re: Ifs and Buts in Sunnah
Thanks for the reply, Psyah. I understand everything you posted and that is my understanding of Islam and Muhammad's position within it as well.
I don't mean to be hung up on the term "worship". That is not the proper word. Excessive adoration, beatification, glorification, idolization or laudation are probably a better description. What I cannot reconcile is your view above with the statement "if we place the whole universe on one side and the Prophet (saw) on the other side, Allah (swt) loves the Prophet (saw) more than the rest of the whole humanity".
