Meaning of Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) being the naaib of Allah

Q: Is Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) the naaib of Allah?

A: If by naaib, you mean that he is the representative of Allah Ta'ala in passing on the message of Allah Ta'ala to the creation, then this is correct as Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) conveyed the message of Allah Ta'ala to the ummah.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
