Love of Hazrat Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) holds key importance to upgrade your prayer, fasting, Hajj, Zakat, and other acts of worship. Without it, your reverence is zero and collective with love of Prophet (P.B.U.H), their value rises to one hundred, one thousand, one lakh and even one crore times.
If love of the last messenger of Almighty Allah is removed from the worships, they become worthless, no matter how much they are.
May Allah protect all of us of such situation and make us a true lover and follower of the teachings of the Prophet (P.B.U.H).
