The ruling on writing the Name of Allah next to the name of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Name of Allah, and next to it, Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah.

Answer:
This is not appropriate because it implies equating the Messenger with Allah (Mighty and Majestic). They may write it on walls or in some mosques, writing the Name of Allah on one side and Muhammad on the other. This is not permissible because it implies equating the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) with Allah, or it appears to be a form of supplication, saying, "O Allah, O Messenger of Allah." This is an action that is not permissible. Yes.
