Is it permissible to describe the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, as "the First Marketing Teacher," "the Father of Marketing," and "the Best Marketer in History"?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is incumbent upon the Muslim to exalt and revere the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, in a manner befitting him, just as the Companions and the righteous predecessors did. Allah the Almighty says: "So those who believe in him, honor him, support him, and follow the light which was sent down with him – it is those who will be successful." (7:157) And He says: "That you may believe in Allah and His Messenger and honor him and revere him." (48:9) Therefore, it is not permissible to describe him with the descriptions of common people, nor with vulgar or demeaning descriptions that diminish his awe and standing, for Allah the Almighty says: "Do not make [your] calling of the Messenger among yourselves like your calling of one another." (24:63)
