The ruling on calling the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) "the Master of Existence"

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Shaykh Mustafa (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: What is the ruling on calling the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) "the Master of Existence"?

Answer:
This, in the first place, has no evidence. "Master of the children of Adam" is what is established. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
I am the leader of the sons of Adam, andأنا سيد ولد آدم ولا
Sunan Ibn Majah 4308Sahih (Darussalam)
only. This is what is established from him (peace and blessings be upon him). So we say he is our master, he is the master of the children of Adam (peace and blessings be upon him). As for the Master of Existence, that is Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He), the Owner of Existence. "Master" is applied to the Owner and the Creator. The Master of Existence is Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He), He is the Owner, He is the Lord (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes, so this is an exaggeration in the status of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
