Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the brother says: Abu 'Abdullah, what is our obligation, what is the obligation of the Ummah toward our Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)?
Answer:
The obligation of the Ummah toward the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is to obey him, love him, and follow his example. And to honor him in a manner befitting him (peace and blessings be upon him), which includes honoring his commands and prohibitions. So one obeys what he commanded and avoids what he prohibited, and follows his example (peace and blessings be upon him)[Al-Ahzab 33:21] He is the model (peace and blessings be upon him), so we follow him in our words, our actions, and our conduct. Yes.

لَّقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ لِّمَن كَانَ يَرْجُو اللَّهَ وَالْيَوْمَ الْآخِرَ
