Love

As-Salamu 'alaikum wa rahmatuLlahi wa barakatuH.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "You will not believe as long as you do not love one another."

Before Allah created Humans,Earth and all there is in it,He (swt) created two zat which is ruh (soul) and hubb (love) then combine them togather.Love is one of the Most important part in our life,it's the most fundamental thing in life.Without love,Allah would have not created us.Without love,He would not have sent down His beloved messengers [as] to make us remember the Promise that we made with our Lord of Truth.Without love,islam would not have reached us.The blessed prophet [s] spread islam with love,he [s] attracts the people with love,not hatred!But Shaytan and our nafs makes us hate one and another.For what? so we would be their guest in Jahannam of course!Inside every single person's heart there is love! Even Sayyidina Umar [ra],one of the prophet [s] companion, used to hate him [s] until he [ra] wanted to kill our beloved prophet [s].Sayyidina Umar [ra] was feared among most people because of his firmness,strength,strictness and some says his heart was like that of an ice.But,due to the islamic teachings of love,and the power of love from God,he's heart melted when reading the Quran,he fell in love with Allah and His messenger.Now we know him as one of the 4 greatest khulafa' and one who have the strongest iman in islam.This is all due to hubb!

Nowadays,you can see everyone,whether they're young or old,they love one and other.You can see couples mostly everywhere.They love each other very much,If not they wouldn't be with each other.Our parents,they love each other really much,or not we will not have been blessed and born in this beautiful world.But,the person we love will definitely leave us one day,either they passed on to the next life,or they would just fell in love with another person who is better than us.So then,who will love us eternally?Whose love will never perish?Whose love is forever?It is Allah! We know it,but yet again we ignored it.when our spouse or our love ones hurt us,we cried..We complained..But at a time when they make us really happy and makes us feels good, like at the peek of love,we'll go crazy,yes.When we're in love with a person we could go crazy on that person,day and night thinking about him or her.Never ending phone call,we would dance like crazy ,smile like crazy for the person sake.But why when we're saying we love Allah,we're not like that?Why are we not crying for the sins that we have committed?Why are we not crying for His Divine Mercy?Why would we not be insane due to our love towards Him? Why would we not stop remembering Him for even a second?Why would not be thankful for His divine blessings?Why would we not pick up His phone call every seconds that He calls us? Even though we said that we love Him,we never did obey Him.Our love is but a lie!I meant not you guys,i'm really sorry about that,it's just me.Woe onto me who is liar!

When we're in love we would careless concerning what anyone said,they can said what ever they like..Our mind are set only that person alone,we only concern what that person thinks of us.Everytime he or she looks at us,we wanted to show nothing but the best!And now,our Lord is wacthing us not only for a second,a minute or an hour.But He's watching us every single second for 24/7 hours,are we not going to show to Him the best side of us?

Let us not forget remembering Him for even a second.Let us train ourselves by praising Him every time we breath,it might be hard,but if we're used to it inshaAllah we can do it.When you're alone,it means that He is calling you.Will you not pick it up for your Beloved sake?

Let's obey His commands and follow His beloved [s] sunnah so we'll get closer towards Him every single second in our life.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "There are people from the servants of God who are neither prophets nor martyrs, (but) the prophets and martyrs will envy them on the Day of Resurrection. . .They are those who love one another for the spirit of God. . .I swear by God, their faces will glow and they will be (sitting) in (pulpits of) light. They will have no fear (on the day) when the people will have fear, and they will not grieve when the people will grieve." He then recited the verse: "Behold! Verily for the friends of God, there is no fear, nor shall they grieve." (Quran, 10:62) - Sunan of Abu Dawood.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "No man loves another for God's sake without his Lord honoring him."

Until now, May Allah wrap us with His Divine love.May He increase our love towards Him.And may He forgive our sins so we could get closer to Him.Amiin.
