Muhammad’s Place In Islamic Culture

Muhammad never wanted to be worshiped since he was only the Messenger of Allah

Muslims do not allow you to attack the Prophet via any form

Muhammad is venerated to the extent of almost deifying him

“In the popular doctrine of Nuri Muhammadi, or the Light of Muhammad, God first created the light of Muhammad and from the light he later proceeded to make the rest of creation.”

“If Muhammad had not been, God Himself would not have existed!”

4.171 O People of the Book! Commit no excesses in your religion: Nor say of Allah aught but the truth. Christ Jesus the son of Mary was (no more than) an apostle of Allah, and His Word, which He bestowed on Mary, and a spirit proceeding from Him: so believe in Allah and His apostles. Say not “Trinity”: desist: it will be better for you: for Allah is one Allah. Glory be to Him: (far exalted is He) above having a son. To Him belong all things in the heavens and on earth. And enough is Allah as a Disposer of affairs.

3.59 The similitude of Jesus before Allah is as that of Adam; He created him from dust, then said to him: “Be.” And he was.
