little bit about me well my salah to attend look the same on the you know email me now
let's add now
as right as the person that didn't have the last
woman to be on the seventh
would have seen of the shrine suddenly
decided yes come on Cody I pray the Lord my DNS and prayers and blessings upon Prophet Muhammad Allah audio Sen is not the family of actors companions and all those that follow them until the Day of Judgment. Glory be to You with no knowledge that what you have taught us and who you are the ongoing the own life.
My dear brothers and sisters, I love you for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala and I asked Allah subhanaw taala to bring us together in paradise, along with Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
I asked him
to bless you in this month, your family and well that Allah subhanaw taala accept all our lives inshallah prayers in our fasting and our charities and our good deeds and our good behavior and everything that you are doing in Sharla to please Allah subhanaw taala May Allah make us of those, whom he has protected from hellfire Inshallah, but
today
I want to say to you about an important topic, it will be a serious afflictions in sha Allah, this of witnesses, the first one?
And the question is, Who do you love?
Who do you love
the people that we love in this world? But the important question is, do we love Allah?
Doing love Allah subhana wa Tada? Or is it a dry relationship between us and Allah? Or is it a, an abstract relationship between us at a loss? whereby there is no real relationship? This is the question we have to ask ourselves, do we really love Allah subhanaw taala. Of course, loving Him, represent to loving Allah is Knowing. So if we don't know,
in his greatness in his magnificence, and we don't know his name, if we don't know about his actions and his attributes, there is no way he's in love.
So we have to establish that relationship. And after we establish the relationship,
and we understand who
He is good, beautiful names, his amazing attributes and his actions. And then we feel
domains and attributes in our life. Only then when we know him,
we can begin to love him.
And loving Allah subhanaw taala is an important part of Muslims relationship with Him, in that scholars usually when they talk about the relationship between Muslims and our Lord, they usually talked about
two aspects, which they usually say are similar to the wings of Americans.
scholars of Islam tell us that there are two aspects concerning our relationship with our hospitals, one of them is fearing of loss, how do we feel about
the other aspect is
are we seeking His mercy always hopeful of His mercy? How Florida
they usually liken it to the the the wings of the birds. Without these two wings, the bird cannot fly.
He needs both wings of the right.
Theory alone is one of the ways
and at the same time, hoping and always expecting his mercy is the other.
If you have too much fear of Allah alone.
You're doomed. And you will live like a normal person. Because you will always feel you are so afraid and that is going to punish you and that he is going to
Basically, that
and in that case, you feel open in the spirit, too much fear is not acceptable also you need people.
On the other hand, too much hope is acceptable. And it is not good for your relationship with
you will be on the other side. always saying, Allah is the most merciful, Allah is the forgiving, you forgive me, so I can do whatever I want, I can live the way I please, I can do whatever Allah
is a paradise eventually inshallah that is also not the right way to live. That's why the Muslim always lives between these two extremes.
Fear of Allah, but at the same time, hope for His mercy
to meet the middle.
What
is the crown
that you place on your head, along with the love and at the mercy of either the fear and hope for
is the love.
When you put these three constituents, when these three constituents have become complete, in your relationship with our spouse, your relationship with the hospital alone becomes
fear of Allah, my hope for His mercy on the other crowning
relationships is your last panel.
Notice there's also the extreme whereby you love the loss of power and the only thing you experiences loss and the loss experience fear is also not correct. And this is not the way Prophet Muhammad Allah and the Sahaba
they have all of these aspects. They love Allah subhanaw taala all of
this
and they started working with all of them. no contradiction between these. Today what I want to discuss in sha Allah is the love of a loving
finishing what is what has to be over several talks in sha Allah by nearby
there are all kinds of love in this life. You love your family you love your father you love your mother you love your children you love your brothers and your sisters and your uncles and you lost some friends so they're your friends you you love them.
Inshallah you love your mother sisters for the sake of also your your best friend and face.
All of this love is beautiful.
This is all
love that Islam recommends. Allah, Allah Allah, Allah commands.
It is part of loving your family and your your your restaurant and establish all of this is part of loving
collaborates with these people. Of course we'll we'll get into some of the details about how do we basically compare loving other people and loving Allah subhanaw taala. And do they contradict each other? We'll get to Lesson Sharma. But there are all kinds of praise worthy love. And there's also blameworthy love, loving since
there are people who love since Allah forgive us, loving,
loving,
alive. This is all blameworthy enough. But all of these different types of love exist in the world. And the most important and the most blessed and the most holy is loving the one whose hearts were created to love. And this is your Lord Subhana wa Tada
the most glorious loving last time God. This is an aspect which the Prophet says we have vulnerable prophets and Homosassa new companions, the cabling, all were very concerned about
they loved Allah subhanaw taala so much. They work on their
their mother sometimes became so extreme and they miss they started to miss
take the person you love into your life, whoever it may be and part with them for five years. Will you not miss them? Will you not miss them all your heart? Will you not love to see them? It shouldn't be the same. What
do you miss? To see?
Maybe that aspect is is not really there. Maybe we never really talked about the last part of that leave
But we are supposed to love, a love of you will you love, love Him because He loves you. He loves you more than
he is kinder to you,
His merciful to you than your own self. And he wants to work for you more than he wasn't willing, love him for those qualities.
Just the mere fact that he loves you, and He loves goodness for you and he loves the best for you. And he wants to take you to paradise and he wants you to be the best. And he wants you to be in the best situation and the best thing enjoys pleasure on the Day of Judgment. Insha Allah, Allah subhanaw taala loves us should we not love him?
My dear brothers, sisters, the plan for faith, some of these pious generations, they would miss Allah subhanaw taala so much, they want to see him. They want to meet him. They're not exactly wishing for them. Right? But they would just love to see a love they want to meet the one they love.
And we will all meet as part of the other and speak to him directly. Allah
but I'm not a prophet I'm not a messenger. I'm not an angel. Yes, a Prophet also told us on the authentic hadith every single one you will speak to Allah subhanaw taala directly
May Allah make that our best day and not our worst day? Inshallah. My dear brothers and sisters, loving Allah subhanaw taala is an obligation
as we've seen, from in order for because many verses in the Quran mentioned this issue one of the important verses with recite him alongside says God
willing
to move
to
keynote
was
when he had peace I mean he doesn't
have to be
long
me
one of the cornerstones
about love Allah subhanaw taala and other issues but will only target the concept of loving Allah.
Allah Most High says, say, say
your father, mother failed the believers, the Father, if your father, your son, your brothers, your wife, your relatives, well, wealth which you have obtained, commerce wherein you fear declines, and dwellings with which you are pleased, or more beloved to you, then Allah and His messenger and Jihad in his car.
Then wait until Allah executes his command.
As Allah does not guide that defiantly this for minions.
This is a very important standard. This verse is a standard, it's a gauge. It's a gauge by which we engage our faith and our love. Notice what you said, all of the prior things, all of
this work in your life, your family, your dwellings, your wealth and so on. All of these things are more beloved to you than Allah.
And we have in his way
This shows that loving Allah, loving the messenger of Salah, adios, Allah, you
in this for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala striving for
an obligation
all of these things are an obligation, Otherwise Allah would not have threatened.
He said, These things are more beloved to you that alive in many ways are still alive.
It's a threat. It's
means you must make Allah and His messenger
for the sake of Allah,
to human beings and worldly matters, these, these, these temporary issues, these are all temporary things by their brothers and sisters, this is a defeat for the real life to be mindful that you're after
real faith is to make Allah is better. And you have more to lose than everything else.
And that's with regards to love.
He says
what he says, None of us truly believe until
he loves me.
More than a father and son are his parents and his children, and all other people.
So in other words, this is also evidence of the same thing with the higher is that we have to
watch everything else, the first competitors,
the migrants, they will at least the ones who immigrated to Medina, this was an important standard for them. Because for them,
this situation also meant
it meant migration. And many people as you know, for some of them, did not migrate, they did not migrate to Medina. Why? Because
all of these things were more precious to them, these worldly issues are more precious to them. If you want pure love to be syncing,
then you will sacrifice everything.
Also concerning.
And this is a separate topic that I spoke about before loving the Messenger of Allah,
Allah, but also Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu sallam said
that there will be people who come after me, Allah make us of those that he's talking about.
There will be people who come after me.
Who would have loved to see
even if it meant sacrificing all of their family and their wealth.
Another very simple gauge,
if you are the ones who truly love them.
And you're given the option of sacrificing your family and your love, for seeing the
huge
gains by which we can get ourselves have I gotten to that level, quite yet.
The other Hadith which we'll get to,
that whoever has these three qualities, will realize the sweetness of faith, one of those important qualities, loving Allah and His Messenger, more than everything else in this world.
Then we can use for ourselves, the same period a couple of levels. And if we have not reached that level, then we strive to reach that level. So Alice commanded us to meet him and his masters and jihad in his costs more beloved than all of these worldly things, family and brothers and wealth and so on. And this is what my mother did and this is no easy.
They left everything
they left and dwelling in this country, if I tell you right now,
apply to yourself.
Right now it is required for us to migrate to the second country, leave your family, leave your belongings leave your house needs and go
as we know in the case of
the roaming
when he migrated, he will he has taken some other belongings as well as the the bag of the flesh away from where you think you're going to make your money here. You keep your money here to go.
Difficult equation.
So these are I know they're empty handed empty pockets.
Or I stayed
and what did he choose? He chose Allah His messenger and he migrated for the sake of Allah says keep everything they are more beloved to me that all of these tougher remember to Pamela. He left everything and he was
alive
heard
about him and people who have done similarly, that those are people who bought
the pleasure of Allah subhanaw taala at the expense of their temporary belongings and temporary wealth.
This is why Subhan Allah, sometimes we, we underestimate the level of sacrifice of the companions, a loving physical sacrifice, when they migrated was possible. And when they accepted Islam, especially in the early period, when it was not the world's strongest religion, when people were still being oppressed, when people were still being tortured, when they have to still hide.
This was not, you know, some some monetary transaction that they were going through, they were putting themselves at risk and in danger,
because they lost a lot, and they lost the message of some of our audience. So that's why they missed all of that. And this is why just a few verses before this verse
have you made because this is what some people have said, the reason for revelation for this is and this is an authentic reason, Revelation is that some people were boasting,
we used to feed and give water to those pilgrims who used to come to the Kaaba, even before the advent of Islam.
We built as much of that house they also contributed to the building of the house, okay, the cover, even before the the
sent to them, as you made the providing of water for the pilgrims, and the maintenance
equal to the needs of one who believes in the lungs
and strives in the Cause of Allah. They are not equal in the sight of Allah.
And Allah was not the wrongdoings people. These are beautiful deeds, helping people helping other human beings, giving water to the pilgrims, making them maintaining our budget and contributing to it. These are beautiful deeds, but they're not equal
to believe in Allah the last day and he has in his cars and migration in his cars, they are not right.
They cannot be equal. These other days of the greatest Sunday, believing in Allah and the Last Day and loving Allah, Allah, Allah and working and striving, this cost, nothing equals that.
And this is what we are supposed to make most Beloved to us, more than every other temporary pleasure
in this world,
amongst.
Others
The last word is wood,
wood, wood inherently means love,
and of the beautiful things of Allah subhanaw taala is and where do the love is? The love the love.
He loves His creatures, he created his creatures he loves what is best for them. He is
his seventh, this is the those who believe and do righteous good deeds, Allah will make for them. What
he will grab what love,
he will love that.
Not only will he
he will make other human beings London.
He wants to be allowed by
and also by his creator.
Believe in Allah and righteous good deeds. This is why
when he's explaining this if you
have
a love and love and he makes a person
to other other creatures.
Also when he's explaining this, he says
in Allah, Allah Who
was that woman named?
Any slave servant who strives
seeking the pleasure of Allah subhanaw taala if he does that,
Hello so today we're gonna, we'll come to him with the heart of his slave service. In other words, what the article is picture. So he will make that person beloved also to his teacher, and he will
have his own. So Allah will love you and He will make you Beloved to his creatures. So, these are these are parameters speaking about law, we are speaking about loving
in the other higher and it will take more time to talk about it and we'll talk about it when you speak about the methods we will speak about more than 10 methods that we can use to obtain the bottom the last panel, they will talk about this in more detail but here let me just mention quickly, because this is also mentioning the love of Allah subhanaw taala
which is equal to what
you're claiming.
The Quran says say Ohana Colossians two that
you indeed love Allah subhanaw taala first or so you claim,
then follow me in other words
and alone.
So you are claiming to love Allah. This is another gauge by which you can engage yourself and we'll discuss it in China.
And that's why
famous pious said that when people started claiming that they lost power to Allah, Allah subhanaw taala says, This is a test
for
Allah. And the only difference with Kamala,
in the authentic hadith
that Allah reports the following. He says that the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, when Allah loves a slave servant, He will call on Gabriel, the chief of the angels, His calling Gabriel, and say, verily, I love Sol Sol, Allah. Can you imagine, my Allah, you being mentioned, by Allah, to his beloved Gibreel by name whereby Allah
to demean or degrade
or degrade
or
whatever your name is, or audibly
or whatever your name is brother or sister, can you imagine a lot of mentioning you might
be hesitant to debrief,
Allah,
Allah make us of those male for those who are mentioned.
As are also marked by Allah, He will say, because the mutations are the so and so.
You should also love him,
to love him,
because Allah
also loves him.
Then he makes an announcement in the
debrief, we'll make an announcement in the habit of the universe,
so and so, and you should also love him. And then the inhabitants of the heavens the angels will also love him and then there is conferred honor upon him in the earth.
So, debris will love the inhabitants of the heavens, the angels.
You will also be loved by the inhabitants of the earth you will be granted a lot of heroes, creatures, the creator
will also love you.
And when Allah is angry with any solution, he comes up and says, I am angry with someone
and you also be angry with him, and that your brain becomes angry and he makes an announcement among the inhabitants of the heavens. Very Allah is angry with a soul and soul you should also be angry with him and they also become angry with him. Then he becomes the object of wrath on the verge of Seoul. May Allah protect us from His wrath.
And may Allah Allah make us on those whom he loves.
Amazing when you when you ponder over this hadith and the delivery, that God really I hope inshallah I can meet those at the hospital to Allah loves and mentioned in sha Allah in the evidence for this reason.
So
reports as an advisor
Muslim. He says, we were in the house.
And when it happened this home
was passing by.
And he was a knee of the head.
The people stood up in order to catch a glimpse of him, as you see many people doing with today's some of today's leaders and presidents. There's no comparison we're talking about.
Many scholars considered the
right guidance, heavy.
People stood up for it to catch a glimpse of
it sent to my father. Father, I believe that Allah loves
serious claim, how can you make such a claim? He's doing it by deduction.
So his father says, why is that? He said it is because of the love in people's hearts for him.
People love him,
it seems
as
he's loved in our hearts,
He says it is because of the other people's heart for him, there upon the set, by the one who created your father, you heard,
never anything, this Hadith from the messenger of allah sallallahu wasallam, that he mentioned has, like the one transmitted on the authority of God, from Sohei, the previous Hadith that we just mentioned. So based on the previous Hadith, he his
people loved him so much. And obviously the righteous people who are loved by Allah that deserve because you spit in their face.
A lot by people, because people don't tell their loved ones.
A different issue. This is a richest man
in the first place and the righteous people.
So it seems that in sha Allah, He is the object of the love of Allah. And he was only the love of Allah.
And he also
loved him. And this is why
the authentic hadith
for messenger of Allah
make supplicate to Allah Subhana Allah,
that he made me and my mother, beloved, to his building station, okay, this beautiful job, he wants to be beloved to the righteous slave servers of Astana make us beloved to them, and make them Beloved to us.
So profit
so these requests
responded to he said,
me,
me, make this slave service of yours and his mother.
You're deleting slaves, and make them also beloved to
the rest of the happy self, that
does not create any living slave servants who hear about
or sees him or seen his mother except that he loves
Subhan Allah, a sign of faith to love.
Only Allah Allah for love the prophets are so loved and who is the number one Narrator
our beloved prophet muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
is similar by the way
to the
when he used to say along those
lines
all I ask you that you love me I ask your loved
ones who love you, I love
the people who love you
and they love us, which brings me closer to beautiful
we'll discuss it also further later on
hence
the reason I read them I'll just tell you
this because one now, now
I love that other people love
And
luckily for the sake of
giving the report and benefiting others, I love to hear something maybe praiseworthy. Maybe then I started to do things out. And I'm not doing it for the sake of a long series on doing it so that people can love me and praise me and talk about me.
So the question becomes,
is this a problem that people are talking mostly as well about some of the loss that
they wish to catch? Necessarily, they were talking amongst
us mashallah was a great man. What are they doing?
That this has
nothing, as long as he's not doing it to the press.
He's not doing whatever he's doing to be praised, but he is doing it sincerely for the results.
People started to love him. That doesn't harm his intention. This clarifies this issue.
Nonsense.
all manners of Allah.
What do you say about a person who does righteous good deeds.
And people later,
praise him for?
Notice? The
wording,
the very specific wording, he doesn't say he's doing it for people to talk about it. He said, The righteous but then
people started praising him for
the cause College in wish, like many
that is a,
let's say,
an early wish, and early glad tidings for the believer.
We're not talking about the intention here. The intention by doing the convenience for God is sincere. And it happened to me that people don't praise him for it.
Actually, this is something to be happy about. Not because you're doing it for people's praise. If you're doing it for people's brains, that's a different issue. How
people's brains
if you become angry that they do not praise you.
If you are dissatisfied, but no one came to you and praise you, or said something good about what you did, then you're doing it for them to present that clock function. But you don't care whether they spoke, they didn't speak they prayed they didn't break, you don't care. But the brain came to you, eventually. You're happy with that. Because that's not a problem. Because
this is an early glamorizing for you in sha Allah. Indeed, Allah
is happy with what you have done. And this is why
we were to explain this hadith.
He said, The scholar says that this is an early class timing, it's an early wish for the believer and it is evident in sha Allah of a glass typing of the day of darkness. Inshallah, this means that it was accepted, hopefully, it will be accepted by Allah and it will be the scale of good deeds of the Day of Judgment in sha Allah.
It is evidence in sha Allah, Allah pleasure with you, as his love for you, and therefore in May, that deed of Your Beloved to his creation.
Speaking about this hadith and this concept,
as he performed the deeds sincerely for the sake of Allah Subhan Allah,
Allah Subhan Allah Allah is the One who place love and praise in the hearts of the believers. And then he became happy he mumbled that
that will not harm him or his intention. I think.
Love is a lost art. It's a big topic in brothers and sisters. And there's still a lot to say. We still have to speak about the science that Allah loves you decide that you love Allah. There are
many different types, the methods, many different methods methods for us to seek and for
For the beautiful examples of those who love Allah subhanaw taala and how they attain that love and how people therefore love them in return in sha Allah continuing the series in a separate later time,
I ask
that we all become the Beloved of Allah subhanaw taala and become beloved to the slave servants. And then he makes us of those who love him sincerely for him, nice to see him and that inshallah the best day will be the day when we need him only in judgment, and that will not make it our worst day
except from us our deeds. Our charities are fasting or prayer covered everything that you are doing, seeking the pleasure of
middle America for those who win a great prize in Ramadan
and make us of those who want to His mercy and the protection from hellfire.
Early or something
