To what extent is the statement of some chanters true: "Muhammad is the qibla of the world and its Kaaba" and "I praised in Taybah Taha and invoked with Taha Allah," and is the name "Taha" among the names of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and are these phrases contrary to religion or permissible?
One must be wary of exaggeration in praising the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, for he forbade it, saying: "Do not exaggerate in praising me as the Christians exaggerated in praising the son of Mary, for I am only His slave. So, say: 'Allah's slave and His Messenger.'" And when the delegation of Banu 'Amir said to him, "You are our master," the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The Master is Allah, the Blessed and Exalted." Then he said: "Say what you want, or some of what you want, and do not let Satan lead you astray."
Therefore, the saying "Muhammad is the of the world and its Kaaba," even if it can be interpreted, falls under the prohibition of exaggeration in praise.
As for the saying "I supplicated by Taha of Allah," it is a type of seeking intercession through the essence of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, which is a prohibited form of intercession according to the preponderant opinion of scholars. It is considered an innovation due to the lack of evidence for it and because it is a means to and exaggeration. Additionally, "Taha" is not one of the names of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him.
