وَإِنَّكَ لَعَلَىٰ خُلُقٍ عَظِيمٍۢ
Al-Quran 68:4

Allahﷻ chose Prophet Muhammadﷺ to bring us his final revelation, Al-Qur’an
ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنزَلَ عَلَىٰ عَبْدِهِ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ وَلَمْ يَجْعَل لَّهُۥ عِوَجَاۜ
Al-Quran 18:1
All praise is for Allāh, who has sent down upon His Servant the Book, and has not made therein any crookedness
Allahﷻ says we are guided only if we follow in the footsteps (sunnah) of His Messengerﷺ. He commands us to follow His Messengerﷺ
قُلْ أَطِيعُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُوا۟ ٱلرَّسُولَ ۖ فَإِن تَوَلَّوْا۟ فَإِنَّمَا عَلَيْهِ مَا حُمِّلَ وَعَلَيْكُم مَّا حُمِّلْتُمْ ۖ وَإِن تُطِيعُوهُ تَهْتَدُوا۟ ۚ وَمَا عَلَى ٱلرَّسُولِ إِلَّا ٱلْبَلَـٰغُ ٱلْمُبِينُ
Al-Quran 24:54
Say, “Obey Allah and obey the Messenger. But if you turn away, then he is only responsible for his duty, and you are responsible for yours. And if you obey him, you will be guided. The Messenger’s duty is only to deliver ˹the message˺ clearly.”
Allahﷻ showed us a perfect example in Prophet Muhammadﷺ
لَّقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِى رَسُولِ ٱللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌۭ لِّمَن كَانَ يَرْجُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَٱلْيَوْمَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَ وَذَكَرَ ٱللَّهَ كَثِيرًۭا
Al-Quran 33:21
Indeed, in the Messenger of Allah you have an excellent example for whoever has hope in Allah and the Last Day, and remembers Allah often
Allahﷻ chose Prophet Muhammadﷺ to guide us from darkness to light
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّبِىُّ إِنَّآ أَرْسَلْنَـٰكَ شَـٰهِدًۭا وَمُبَشِّرًۭا وَنَذِيرًۭاوَدَاعِيًا إِلَى ٱللَّهِ بِإِذْنِهِۦ وَسِرَاجًۭا مُّنِيرًۭا
Al-Quran 33:45-46
O Prophet! We have sent you as a witness, and a deliverer of good news, and a warner, and a caller to ˹the Way of˺ Allah by His permission, and a beacon of light
Allahﷻ says Prophet Muhammadﷺ has a higher claim on our lives than we do on our ownselves. Love and respect for Prophet Muhammadﷺ is an integral part of submitting our will to our Creator, Allahﷻ
ٱلنَّبِىُّ أَوْلَىٰ بِٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ أَنفُسِهِمْ ۖ
Al-Quran 33:6
The Prophet has a greater claim over the believers than they have over each other
Allahﷻ changed the direction of qiblah (direction muslims face while praying salah) according to His Prophetﷺs preference
قَدْ نَرَىٰ تَقَلُّبَ وَجْهِكَ فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ ۖ فَلَنُوَلِّيَنَّكَ قِبْلَةًۭ تَرْضَىٰهَا ۚ فَوَلِّ وَجْهَكَ شَطْرَ ٱلْمَسْجِدِ ٱلْحَرَامِ ۚ وَحَيْثُ مَا كُنتُمْ فَوَلُّوا۟ وُجُوهَكُمْ شَطْرَهُۥ ۗ
Al-Quran 2:144
We have certainly seen the turning of your face, [O Prophet], toward the heaven, and We will surely turn you to a qiblah with which you will be pleased. So turn your face toward al-Masjid al-Haram [i.e., Mecca]. And wherever you [believers] are, turn your faces toward it [in prayer]
Prophet Muhammadﷺ is the final Messenger of Allahﷻ
مَّا كَانَ مُحَمَّدٌ أَبَآ أَحَدٍۢ مِّن رِّجَالِكُمْ وَلَـٰكِن رَّسُولَ ٱللَّهِ وَخَاتَمَ ٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ ۗ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ عَلِيمًۭا
Al-Quran 33:40
Muhammad is not the father of [any] one of your men, but the Messenger of Allāh and seal [i.e., last] of the prophets. And ever is Allāh, of all things, Knowing
Prophet Muhammadﷺ is our most cherished gift from our Creator, Allahﷻ
