Anas ibn Malik reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “None of you have faith until I am more beloved to him than his children, his father, and all of the people.”

The hadith above talks about loving our Prophet Muhammad saw but how do we love someone that has passed on 1443 years ago?
And
why do we have to love him more than our parents and family members?
Whereas he (pbuh) was not someone we met before, compared to those who we spend our lives with?
You can't touch him, you can't feel him, you can't see him but Allah swt made him the best among us. Would you learn more about him?
"And verily, you (O Muhammad S.A.W) are on a exalted standard of character” - (Quran 68:4)
Allah SWT bestows to him with the most fine of qualities such as kindness and gentleness. Indeed, our Prophet Muhammad is the most honorable and admirable human being!
