• Mohammad between Negligence and Exaggeration

From the very beginning, the author stresses that the correct stance of a Muslim is moderation: to love the Prophet ﷺ, to follow him and to honor him, without falling into excess or injustice. Through this book, he demonstrates that the true path lies in adhering to the teachings of the Qur’an and the Sunnah.

• Refuting hostility towards the Prophet ﷺ

The author exposes the arguments of those hostile to the Prophet ﷺ, who attempt to discredit his message or deny his mission. Relying on clear evidence from the Qur’an and the authentic sayings of the Prophet, Shaykh Ibn Baz shows that their hostility is based on ignorance and prejudice. He reminds that Mohammad ﷺ was sent as a mercy to mankind and that his call remains the way of truth. Thus, hostility is presented as direct opposition to the guidance of Allah.

• Warning against exaggeration

Mohammad between Negligence and Exaggeration also highlights the dangers of those who exaggerate in their love for the Prophet ﷺ. Some go too far by attributing to him qualities that belong to Allah alone. The author insists on the importance of following the way of the pious predecessors, cultivating sincere but balanced affection. This reminder protects the Muslim’s belief from innovation and deviation.

• The balanced way in Islam

At the heart of this book lies the principle of moderation, which is central to the Islamic message. To be on the middle path means to love and follow the Prophet ﷺ with loyalty, while recognizing that Allah alone deserves worship. Mohammad between Negligence and Exaggeration therefore serves as a practical guide to preserve authentic faith and strengthen exclusive devotion to Allah. It is a valuable source of clarity and wisdom for those who seek to understand the correct stance towards the last Prophet.
