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".
This is made up statement, have no grounds or logic in it. niether any of supporter of this statement can provide reference to back it up. In conclusion this statement can be view point of some people but it has nothing to do with Islam. At this point, let me quote another statement which is repeatedly quoted by Street Mullas, it is like this, " Allah All Mighty have created this universe just for the Sake of Prophet Muhammad (SAAW)". Or something of this meaning.
