First faulty extreme: Love for the Prophet ﷺ permits attributing uniquely divine qualities to him.
Second faulty extreme: His humanity means that his prophetic office may be treated as no higher than that of an ordinary person or saint.
Correct formulation: He ﷺ is Allah's servant and Messenger. Servanthood rules out divinity; messengership establishes the distinct greatness of prophethood.
Application: Proper reverence preserves the authentic rank and virtues of the Messenger without assigning the exclusive rights of Allah to any created being.
