You can show love for Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) by following his teachings and Sunnah, reciting Salawat (sending blessings and peace upon him), and learning about his life and character. Other ways include emulating his actions and morals, praying for his intercession, and upholding the values of love and mercy he taught.
Following his teachings and Sunnah
Emulate his character:
Strive to adopt his noble character, sacrifices, and teachings in your own life.
Obey his commands:
Do not overlook any command the Prophet gave you, as your faith is not complete without loving him more than anyone else, including yourself.
Learn about his life (Seerah):
Dedicate time to learning about his biography to appreciate all he did to deliver the message of Islam.
Sending Salawat
Recite blessings:
Send peace and blessings upon the Prophet by reciting Salawat. A common form is "Allāhumma ṣalli ʿalā Muḥammad" (O Allah, send prayers upon Muhammad), and another is "Allahumma Salli 'Alaa Muhammadinw Wa'alaa Aali Muhammadin Kamaa Sallaeta 'Alaa Ibraaheema Wa'alaa Aaali Ibraaheema Innaka Hameedum Majeed".
Recite abundantly:
Scholars have suggested reciting Salawat daily, with some saying that one thousand times is the minimum for it to be considered abundant, while three hundred times may be sufficient.
Pray for his intercession:
Pray for the Prophet's intercession (syafa\'ah) for your community in the Hereafter.
Spreading his message and values
Uphold his values:
Spread the values of love, mercy, and peace he taught, especially in a world that has a lot of hate and conflict.
