Imam-ul-Mufassireen, Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah Bin ‘Abbas رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ has said: First the Beloved and Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was called was          ‘Ya Muhammad’, ‘Ya Abal Qaasim’ (صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم), when Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ prohibited calling His Prophet in the normal manner then the blessed companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم would say ‘Ya Nabiyyallah’, ‘Ya Rasoolallah’.

(Dalaail-un-Nubuwwah, pp. 19)

Dear Islamic brothers! Just ponder! How important is the matter of reverence for the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم that Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ does not like anyone to call out to His Beloved (صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم) by name. The Islamic scholars have explained: To call out the Holiest Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم by name is Haraam. (Fatawa Razawiyyah, vol. 30, pp. 157)

Remember! The reverence for the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was not only limited to his blessed apparent life but it is necessary for every Muslim to accept his glory and greatness until the world exists.

Sayyiduna ‘Allamah Isma’eel Haqqi رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has said: Greatness and respect for the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was compulsory and necessary for the Ummah during the apparent life of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and is also compulsory and necessary after his apparent demise, because the more reverence for the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم increases in the hearts the more the Noor of faith will keep increasing.

(Tafseer Ruh-ul-Bayan, vol. 7, pp. 216)

خاک ہو کر عشق میں آرام سے سونا مِلا      جان کی اِکسیر  ہے اُلفت رسول اللّٰه کی

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب       صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers! It has become obvious that love for the Beloved and Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and showing him great respect in every matter are the causes of increase in faith and the root of faith. Try to understand it in this way that if the roots of a tree are cut, the tree becomes dry and its fruits
