Punishment In Case Of Not Following The Uswa-e-Hasanah Of Prophet Muhammad (sws)
If I may add my opinion to this. I believe trying to follow Uswa Hasna of our prophet in religious and moral matters is an obligation for us that is imposed by Allah upon us as mentioned in Quran. We will never reach the level of our prophet, but we should try. If we are not able to reach that level and our sins are less than our good deeds then there is no punishment for us. Regarding matters of personal choice, like what our prophet liked to eat, what type of home he liked, what color of clothes he wore, what kind of bed he slept, how many times he ate, how he took shower, etc. None of these are religious obligations are optional or required for us. But if someone loves our prophet so much as to eat the same things, wear the same clothes, have the same type of hair cut, or travel on a camel etc. then perhaps there will be a little “Swab” for doing this for a good practicing Muslim. But if a person is not a good Muslim and not taking care of the important obligations regarding Allah’s and human rights, then there is no Swab following nonreligious Aswa Hasna of prophet. To make prophet happy and to show the love of our prophet it is important to understand and follow the message of Allah that he delivered to us in the form of Quran. Showing the love of Allah and praising Allah all the time means showing the love and respect to our prophet too. Just praising and celebrating our prophet all the time and not following Quran and ignoring praising Allah may get us in trouble.
