LOVE OF ALLAH (SWA) IN THE BELIEVERS IS MOST INTENSE ( SURAH 2 VERSE 165 )
Its a simple question, yet the meaning roots down deep inside our creed and faith.Unfortunately everyone knows what love is but when it comes to loving the Almighty Allah (swa) most of us are ignorant. So lets see what really loving Allah(swa) means.
Loving Allah (swa) starts with accepting the last faith sent through our Messenger Muhammad (saw) without any doubt. Allah (swa) says in Quran " The Religion before Allah (swa ) is Islam " ( Surah Imran Verse 19 ). Accepting Islam as a religion without any doubt is full fulling all the commandments revealed in Quran and implementing that into your life. For example Allah (swa) says in Quran " O you who believe ! Eat not usury (riba) double and multiplied,but fear Allah (swa) that you may be successful" .( Surah Imran Verse 130). Allah (swa) had made usury (Riba) haram in Islam but how many of us are working in Banks which deals with usury. When a true believer in Islam is faced with a situation where he had to choose the path Allah (swa) had asked us to follow and the path our own desires and lust is tempting us to follow, that person leaves all his concerns, own desires and lust just to please Allah (swa).If your working in a Bank which directly deals with the usury and you quit the job just because it goes against the commandments of Allah (swa), this is what really loving Allah (swa) is ! The Messenger Muhammad (saw) and his companions were the people who faced the worst and the hardest trials. But the only word which came out of their mouth were " In Allah (swa) we trust and to whom we shall all return'. Allah (swa) says in Quran " And put thy trust in Allah (swa) ,and enough is Allah (swa) as a disposer of affairs". ( Surah Al Ahzab Verse 3 ) They knew this transient life is just a test to see how obedient they are in following Allah's (swa) guidance. But what we see is the opposite today.Husbands shaving their beards because their wives don't like it,women working in the offices going against Allah (swa) teachings in fear of loosing their jobs and women taking off their hijab to please their husbands.Others are going against the teaching of Allah (swa) due to fear of loosing their wealth and status. My question is will your wife,boss,husband,wealth or status suffice you in the day you lie in your grave,will you wife,boss,husband,wealth or status suffice you when you have to stand in front of Allah (swa) in the day of Judgement. Great empires,kings and rulers had come and gone who hoarded wealth and status. Can you even hear a cry of them ?
Secondly Following the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (saw). Allah (swa) says in Quran " And obey Allah (swa) and his messenger (saw). That you may obtain mercy ". (Surah Imran Verse 132 ). Following the last Messenger Muhammad (saw) and his guidance comes within the scope of loving Allah (swa). Cause without following the sunnah of prophet Muhammad (saw) our religion is incomplete. For example Allah (swa) ordered us to perform prayer. But the step by step instructions to perform the prayer is taught to us by Muhammed (swa).
So fear only Allah (swa),Love only for the sake of Allah (swa),please only Allah (swa) and pray to Allah (swa) only .Say " No" to anyone who tells you to disobey the commandments of the Allah (swa). May Allah (swa) fill our hearts with love to almighty Allah (swa) and his Messenger (saw). Give us strength and guidance to stand against the oppressors of our faith.
