His status in Islam is the highest, as God Almighty says that we can only get His love if we love and follow his Prophet. The teachings he has given us are not specific for any area or time, but it is for every human being who came and will come in this world till the day of resurrection. And to be a Muslim you must have to follow what he has left for us, in the form of the Quran and Hadith. 

Naat is another way of expressing the love for Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H). In its verses, Naat khawans express how they love and respect the Holy Prophet. The verses of Naat are all the praises of the beloved Prophet, the way he spent his life, about his kindness, the role model he was. Every naat khawan has their own way of expressing it and putting that love and respect in the form of verses.
