Ever Been Told Not To "Over-Praise" the Prophet ﷺ Because It’s Bidah?
Saying that Muhammad ﷺ was “merely” a messenger as if there is nothing more special about him is a gross innovation. Shaykh Faraz Rabbani shares a number of short stories from the sahabahs, and the Islamic tradition, that highlight how they celebrated the qualities and tremendousness of the Prophet ﷺ. We need to nurture regular gatherings that foster the tradition of celebrating the Prophet ﷺ but without making these too complicated or burdensome.
Shaykh Faraz elaborates further in this video, recording as part of the weekly gathering at SeekersGuidance Toronto, Circle of Light: A Night of Remembrance, Praise & Inspiration.
