His Respect is the Main Obligation

The honour and respect of the honourable Chief of the World [Huzoor Saiyyid-e-Aalam] (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam) is the actual requisite rather it is the basis of all the obligations [Faraa’iz] and his minute insult or contradiction is infidelity [Kufr].

Almighty Allaah says:

“(O My Beloved Prophet) Certainly, We have sent you as a Shaahid [Omnipresent and Omniscient] and Mubashshir [the bearer of glad tidings] and Nazeer [a warner]. [O people] you should believe in Allaah and His Messenger, and honour and revere the Prophet, and that you may glorify Him in the morning and the evening.”

(Al-Qur’aan, chapter Al Fatah, verse 8, 9)
