Muslims worship Muhammad

Muslims do not worship the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.). Every Prophet since Adam (a.s.) had followers. The messages of all of the Prophets are unanimous. Mankind was created to worship the Creator only! Qur’an 39:65-66 says, “But it has already been revealed to thee,- as it was to those before thee,- ‘If thou wert to join (gods with Allah), truly fruitless will be thy work (in life), and thou wilt surely be among the losers.’ Nay, but worship Allah, and be of those who give thanks.”

Of all of the Prophets, the most detailed and authentic account of a Prophet’s life and what made him pleasing to God is the accounts recorded of the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.). We quote his quotes and perform his Sunnah (way of life) because God was pleased with him and we want God to be pleased with us. He is the perfect example for us to follow if we want to please God. God has instructed us in the Qur’an that we follow the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.), “…those who obey Allah and His Messenger will be admitted to the Gardens with rivers flowing beneath, to abide therein (forever) and that will be the supreme achievement.” (Qur’an 4:13) In accordance to the Word of God we follow the Sunnah (way of life) of the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) and worship God and God alone!
