Wujub Tawqir al-Nabi Sallallahu 'Alayhi wa-Sallam وجوب توقير النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم
Wujub Tawqir al-Nabi Sallallahu 'Alayhi wa Sallam (وجوب توقير النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم), translated as "The Obligation of Revering the Prophet, Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him," is a contemporary work published by Al-Wabil al-Sayyib. Compiled by Dr. Rasha Abdul Fattah from the lectures and Quranic exegesis of the renowned Azhari scholar Dr. Yusri Rushdi Sayyid Jabr al-Hasani, it explores one of the foundational principles of Islamic belief and spirituality: the obligation to honor, love, and revere the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
Drawing upon the Quran, Hadith, and the example of the Companions, the book demonstrates that true adherence to the Sunnah must be accompanied by deep reverence and proper etiquette (adab) toward the Prophet ﷺ, his family, his Companions, and his legacy.
Among its principal themes are:
• The Quranic foundations of tawqir (reverence), including detailed reflections on verses such as Surah al-Fath (48:9) and Surah al-Hujurat (49:2).
• Authentic examples of the Companions' profound respect for the Prophet ﷺ, illustrating the model of love and etiquette preserved by the earliest generations.
• A discussion of contemporary misunderstandings that diminish the Prophet's unique rank, together with a reaffirmation of his lofty status in Sunni belief.
• Practical ways to cultivate reverence through learning about his life and person.
Published by Al-Wabil al-Sayyib, a publisher renowned for works on Sunni creed and spirituality, this volume presents Dr. Yusri Jabr's teachings in a clear and accessible format. It serves as both an introduction to the Islamic concept of tawqir and a practical guide to strengthening one's love, respect, and devotion to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.
