Do Muslims worship Muhammad(peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)

Question: 501

Do muslims worship Muhammad peace and blessings of God be upon him)?

Answer

Praise be to Allah, and blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah.

No. Muslims do not worship Muhammad (peace be upon him), or any other prophet. Muslims believe in all prophets including Adam, Noah, Abraham, David, Solomon, Moses, and Jesus, peace be upon them all. Muslims believe that Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was the last of the Prophets. They believe that only God is to be worshipped, not human beings nor anything else.
