احمقوں کی کمی نہیں غالبؔDeobandi
“It is certainly not written for the narrow minded followers of the believers in a limited God, a God which they situate in space, located exclusively above the Throne. For such people, the absolute difference between Creator and created is blurred, for they mentally impose limits upon that which is beyond limits. This puts them in the false position of having to belittle the Best of Creation in order to keep Allah in His place as God.
We, the vast majority of Muslims, the Ahl al-Sunna wal-Jamā‘a, know that it is impossible for a Muslim to confuse the Creator with the created, however great the latter may be. We are therefore quite comfortable in our love for the Prophet and our extreme respect and veneration for him.
The Prophet himself has repeatedly said that those who do not love him more than their fathers, mothers, children, wealth, and their own selves, their faith is defective and their works in danger of being rejected by Allah.[1]
It is deceitful to claim to love the Prophet but seek to deprive him of the sublime attributes that Allah bestowed upon him, prior to making him the Master of all Creation.”
Dr Mostafa Badawi
Above quote is perhaps more relevant to the mujasima as opposed to deobandis but still applies to them somewhat.
I've seen wahabis claim that our love for Allah should be more than our love for the Prophet( sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam). What is the sunni response to that? I personally don't think we make these distinctions when it comes to loving and obeying Allah and His Messenger( sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam). For example, we don't say we should obey Allah more than we obey the Prophet ( sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam) because obeying the Prophet is in reality obeying Allah, and making such distinctions would lead us nowhere.
