This study uses content analysis method with reference to thematic interpretations or tafsir mawdhu'i as method of analysis. The Muslim scholars have stated that Rasulullah (PBUH) is the most glorious being of Allah who should be honored based on what had been commanded by Quranic texts and hadiths. Therefore, in accordance with the height of his dignity and glory, Allah has set forth in this Surah al-Hujurat several manners and ethics toward the Prophet (PBUH) for the believers to obey and practice in life. If the ethics toward Prophet Muhammad were respected and practiced by all Muslims, then the incident of contempt against him would not have happened. Mutakhir ini, kerap kali berlaku kes-kes penghinaan terhadap Nabi Muhammad ﷺ di negara kita terutamanya di media sosial. Mengapakah perkara ini berlaku dengan berleluasa sedangkan umat Islam merupakan penduduk majoriti di negara ini? Justeru tujuan kertas kerja ini ditulis adalah untuk mengetengahkan isu-isu penghinaan terhadap Rasulullah ﷺ serta menjelaskan beberapa perintah Allah ﷻ yang berbentuk adab penghormatan terhadap baginda di dalam al-Quran. Surah yang dikaji ialah Surah al-Hujurat. Tulisan ini menggunakan kaedah analisis kandungan dengan merujuk kepada tafsir tematik atau tafsir mawdhu’i sebagai kaedah analisis. Para ulama’ menyatakan bahawa Nabi Muhammad ﷺ adalah semulia-mulia makhluk Allah yang wajib dimuliakan berdasarkan nas-nas al-Quran dan hadis. Oleh yang demikian, sesuai dengan ketinggian martabat dan kemuliaan baginda ﷺ, maka Allah ﷻ telah menetapkan di dalam Surah al-Hujurat ini beberapa adab dan etika kesopanan terhadap Nabi ﷺ kepada orang mukmin untuk dipatuhi dan diamalkan dalam kehidupan. Sekiranya adab-adab kesopanan terhadap Nabi Muhammad ﷺ tersebut dijunjung tinggi dan diamalkan oleh semua umat Islam, nescaya insiden penghinaan terhadap baginda sudah pasti tidak akan berlaku lagi.
