Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: What is the ruling on one who believes that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is light from the light of Allah and not a human being?
Answer:
This is an invalid belief; this is invalid exaggeration. The Messenger is a human being, born of a mother and a father (peace and blessings be upon him), so he is of the human race. And Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says:[Al-Kahf 18:110] He is a human being (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
