What is the ruling on keychains and shirts that carry phrases such as "I love the Messenger" and "O my beloved, O Messenger of Allah"?

Making the aforementioned shape and writing the aforementioned phrase on clothes, medals, and the like is not from the guidance of the early generations of the Ummah. It involves imitation of the corrupt people who adopt such symbols as an indication of their illicit passion. Furthermore, the shape suggests that love for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, is like love for others, which is incorrect, because love for the Messenger is a religious obligation and faith is not complete without it. Based on this, writing the phrase, selling it, buying it, and using it are not permissible.
