What is the way to deal with the feeling of being distant from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and the feeling of injustice when comparing oneself to his virtue in this world and the hereafter? And how can one achieve humility in prayer and avoid distraction?
Allah is All-Wise and All-Knowing, placing things in their rightful places. He specifically chose Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, for the message because of His knowledge that he was the purest in soul, the most righteous in heart, and the most fitting for this position. This kind of talk about the Prophet is very dangerous and could lead to hatred and envy of him, which causes ruin in this world and the hereafter, just as it happened to those who envied him in ancient times. Allah Almighty said: "And when a sign comes to them, they say, 'We will not believe until we are given the like of what was given to the messengers of Allah.' Allah is most knowing of where He places His message." (Al-An'am: 124). So, Allah knows best who is fit for His message, and He does not bestow His favor except upon those who deserve it. Therefore, one must repent to Allah, and a Muslim should know that faith is not complete until one loves the Prophet, peace be upon him, more than anyone else.
