The Prophet (SAW) mentioned;
“Whoever possesses the next three qualities could have the sweetness of religion.
The one who Allah and His Prophets turn into dearer to than anybody else. The one who loves an individual and he loves him just for the sake of Allah. The one who hates to revert to atheism (disbelief) as he hates to be thrown into thefire.” (Bukhari:16)
Allah (SWT) has used the phrase “love” as a central determine in Islam. Everyone knows that the true that means of affection is full sacrifice, and likewise letting go of your ego to be comfortable in your family members within the time of their very own happiness.
The Sufis are the perfect instance on this regard. They commit their time for the sake of Allah’s love with none expectation and criticism. Why do they achieve this?
It’s as a result of earlier than our beginning, we have now taken a promise to like Allah (SWT) greater than anybody else.
Allah (SWT) additional mentioned:
Allah will certainly verify who’re the believers and who’re the hypocrites.
(Annkabut)
So, as Allah has despatched us into this world to show this declare, after we love our households, be it your spouse, mom, father and youngsters, it shouldn’t distract you from loving Allah (SWT).
We must always consider this as a triangle, as a result of after we break this triangle and love another person greater than Allah (SWT), then we get pissed off and depressed as a result of we lack the energy to achieve the real love of Allah (SWT).
In the identical manner, Allah mentioned:
I’ll absolutely check you simply to verify should you really love Me or not.
(Bagarah:155)
Thats why Abu Huraira narrated that Allah’s Messenger mentioned;
“If Allah desires to do good to someone, He afflicts him with trials.”
(Sahih Bukhari: 5645).
As a result of in troublesome occasions, we get to know, who’s sincere and who really loves us. So, in our troublesome occasions, we get this chance to show our declare of loving Allah (SWT) greater than anybody else.
And bear in mind, this apportunity just isn’t given to each particular person besides Allah’s favorite ones.
So maintain firmly to the rope of Allah which is definitely a rope of affection. (Al Imran: 103).
As Muslims, have we ever really and truthfully claimed that “O my Allah, I really like You greater than anybody else and I’m comfortable for Your will in my life, regardless of the issues and trials You’ve gotten put me in.
Or is our worldly relationships dearer to us than Allah (SWT). Consider it for a second?
The Messenger of Allah mentioned:
“It was once from the supplication of Allah, certainly that I ask You for Your love and the love of those that love You, and for the motion that can trigger me to achieve Your love.
O Allah, make Your love extra beloved to me than myself and my household.
(Tirmidhi: 3490).
