It's a very comprehensive love, so one mustn't
think if I begin to love Allah then
I will have to exclude everything else. Allah
is not like other is not like human
beings, where if you got love for 1,
you can't really have love for another of
a similar track. There is nothing similar to
Allah. Everything is lower than Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala. Everything is subject to Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala. So thus he tells us to love
others as well. One heart and there's
it's only for Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and
thus the heart needs to be kept like
the way people generally keep good masajid. Right?
That's how pure it should be kept. I
mean, that's a very good parable
that one of our sheikhs gave us, which
is that the heart should be kept like
a nice clean pure Masjid.
The way you keep it away from filth.
That's what we do. You don't let dogs
come inside. You don't let people come in
with weird clothing etcetera. You know, there's a
certain sound level that's tolerated and not anything
beyond that, etcetera, etcetera. There's many, many things
that, you know, most people will will look
for in Masajid.
That's how we should be looking at our
looking for in our heart.
