Musleh Khan – Life #06 How do I know Allah loves me

			How do I know Allah really loves me?
		

			salam Wa alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh. This question is perhaps one of the most important
questions we should think about each and every day. How do I know that Allah loves me, that he has
accepted me that he has counted me from amongst the righteous? The scholars give us many things to
think about, and I'm going to share with you three of them. Number one, it's your faith, it's your
towhead it's your belief in Allah subhanho wa taala. See your belief system, our Arpita will
determine how strong and committed we are into serving Allah subhanaw taala. So you have got to go
back and ask yourself How well do I know Allah? Have I ever taken the time to really study who Allah
		

			is? Now remember, the true biography of Allah, the only things that we know about who Allah is, lies
within the 99 names and attributes of Allah. So if you study these names and attributes, that's how
you're going to know who Allah subhanho wa Taala is. And when you know who Allah is, the default of
that is you will begin to appreciate, you will begin to get closer to him, you'll want to serve Him,
you'll want to submit yourself to Him. All of that is an extension of this enormous, an
undescribable love that's starting to develop in the heart, in your soul and in your entire life. So
the first point is how well do you know Allah? Number two, His Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
		

			In the Quran, Allah tells us, if you claim to love Allah, fit to be only your baby qumola Then you
should follow the Prophet Alayhi Salatu was Salam and intern Allah will love you back. So following
the Prophet alayhi salatu salam, here's the question for all of you to think about. How much do you
love him? sallallahu alayhi wa sallam? I can't answer that for you. You have got to figure out how
much do I love the Prophet alayhi salatu salam, and one very simple, but effective way to assess how
much you love the Prophet alayhi salat wa salam is look in your life and see what parts of your life
reflect his sunnah. The decisions you make, the way that you dress, the way that you interact with
		

			people, all of these things that we do on a daily basis, how much of that reflects the way the
Prophet alayhi salatu salam would have done it. And it's really important to ask yourself, if he was
here with you. Let's say he was sitting in your living room or he came to your message it? Would he
be pleased with what he saw. These are questions you really have to spend some time and think about,
if the prophet Ali's thought was salam was here, and he met me, would he be pleased with the way I
look, the way I dress, the way I talk, the way I live, the way I eat, the way I interact with
people. And then the third and the final point, that can help us to understand whether or not Allah
		

			subhanaw taala truly loves us is how much of a commitment you have in practicing Islam. What I mean
by that is really simple. If your entire life revolves all around the religion and with that you
find the sense of comfort and peace every time you practice your religion. So whether it be you're
performing a ritual like salah or fasting or Hajj or Umrah, or reading simple urn or making dua,
that your heart is at ease, you find yourself in the sense of peace and comfort you enjoy it so
much. You pray one Salah and your heart can't wait for the other Salah. So you have this enthusiasm
and spiritual excitement in you to want to do the right thing and Please Allah, every opportunity
		

			that's open in front of you to do the right thing. So you go to a masjid. I mean, we're in the month
of Ramadan, right? So you're going to the masjid, there's a fundraising happening, and you're not
thinking to yourself Subhanallah Why did I come here? Now I have to listen to this. But instead you
say to yourself, This is an opportunity. It's an opportunity for me to give for the sake of Allah.
And it's an opportunity for me to gain endless rewards. So the mindset of you wanting each and every
time an opportunity comes up, to obey Allah to do something for Allah, you run at that opportunity.
So you're constantly thirsty to do righteous deeds for Allah. It's a great sign
		

			Allah subhanho wa Taala wants the best for you, and Allah will only want the best for those whom he
loves. May Allah subhanho wa Taala love you, me and all of us love
