Loving The Messenger

what’s wrong with the article? I find absolutely nothing wrong and please refrain from disrespecting Shaykh Zulfiqar Ahmed.

He just says we should have love for the messenger of Allah. What’s wrong in it?

actually ive now managed to find the proper article.

Defining Muhabbah by Shaykh Zulfiqar Ahmad(db)

firstly theres what appears to be a mistake as early as reason1 proof1

Proof 1
Whenever Allah addressed the Prophets in the Holy Quran, He did so by name; for example ‘O Adam’, ‘O Noah’, ‘O Zakariah’ and ‘O Moses.’ When He addressed the Prophet of Islam, however, Allah never addressed him by name, rather by pseudonyms and character traits - “O thou folded in garments.” Allah bestowed such honor upon His Messenger that even He did not refer to him by name.

translation Aal-e-Imran 144
muhammad is no more than an apostle: many Were the apostle that passed away before him. If he died or were slain, will ye then Turn back on your heels? If any did turn back on his heels, not the least harm will he do to Allah. but Allah (on the other hand) will swiftly reward those who (serve Him) with gratitude.

yes this verse is not ‘addressing’ but final sentence in the commentary is pushing it (especially as presented in opening post here)

proof2:

Proof 2
Allah said in the Holy Quran that we are not to take His Messenger’s honorable name among ourselves as if he was a common man.

Deem not the summons of the Messenger among yourselves like the summons of one of you to another. (24: 63)

This beautiful verse tells the Muslims that the Messenger of Allah is not an ordinary person, so his auspicious name is not to be taken in vain, but rather, he is to be respectfully addressed with ‘O Nabi’ or ‘O Messenger of Allah’. To refer to the Messenger of Allah directly by name is disrespectful, and the slightest disrespect may render our deeds void.

look what is being mentioned but the ‘swt’ is so obviously missing from this article(as was presented here).

proof3

Proof 3
Different nations and tribes raised objections against their Prophets. The people of those nations refused to accept the truth, altering it into falsehood, to the extent of slandering their prophets. Whenever an objection was raised against a specific Prophet, Allah answered the objection through that particular Prophet. For example, when charged with being mad, the Prophets themselves have answered that they are not mad but are in fact messengers from Allah.

However, when it came to charges against His Messenger, Allah took it upon Himself to respond. For example, whenever the Prophet was charged with being a madman or a poet, Allah Himself answered in the Holy Quran that His beloved is neither mad nor a poet.

You are not, by the grace of your Lord, mad or possessed. (68:2)

When we hold intense love for someone, we offer ourselves as a shield, not letting him brave the harsh winds alone. Allah Himself has done just that with these charges against His Messenger.

When Allah’s Wrath was invoked against such people who falsely accused His Messenger, He revealed the following:

Heed not the type of despicable man, ready with oaths – A slanderer, going about with calumnies; (Habitually) hindering (all) good, transgressing beyond bounds, deep in sin – violent (and cruel) – base born. (54:10)

cant find this @54:10. its actually at 68:10-13

thats all im willing to explore on here, but i hope you do get the idea of why this article ‘just doesnt feel right’
