ihtada bi haddihi wa istanna bi sunnatihi wa

should be or ought to be our single
greatest wish?
if someone were to ask you what would
you like or want more than anything else?
the answer should be that our creator Allah
loves us that the one who is worthy
of worship, the creator of all, the one
above all Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala loves
you and that if we were given the
love of Allah by the almighty that there
is nothing else in the world that we
would need what can go wrong for you
if Allah loves you?
what can go wrong for you in the
dunya?
if the creator of the dunya loves you
what can go wrong for you in the
akhirah?
if Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala loves you
and we need to strive to gain the
love of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Allah
speaks about it in the Quran often Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala mentions not only who
he loves but the actions that he loves
as well and it is extremely important that
we ask ourselves how much do we strive
for that?
how much do we strive for that?
it is the single greatest blessing and honor
to have often we speak about us loving
Allah which is extremely important in fact your
iman will not be complete unless you love
Allah and his messenger more than anything else
more than yourself, your family, your children, everything
and anything in existence that Allah and his
messenger comes first that's your responsibility but the
ulema they have a beautiful statement they used
to say it is not surprising nor is
it amazing that you love Allah why wouldn't
you love Allah when he created you, when
he gave you when he blesses you, when
he provides for you when he gave you
everything that you have why wouldn't you love
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala?
but what's amazing is that Allah may love
you you who sin, you who forget you
who make mistakes, you who oppress you that
Allah almighty can love you may Allah shower
his love now my brothers and sisters one
day the prophet salallahu alayhi wasalam this was
in Khyber he told his companions tomorrow tomorrow
I'm going to give the flag the flag
bearer of the battle tomorrow will be someone
and this person is very special because he
is someone that loves Allah and his messenger
and Allah and his messenger love him he
is someone that loves Allah and his messenger
and Allah and his messenger love him every
companion there was wondering who will this person
be how lucky are they what a blessed
thing to have that the prophet is telling
you whoever will be the flag bearer tomorrow
Allah loves him and the prophet loves him
Sayyiduna Umar al-Khattab radiallahu anhu the great
companion that you all know he said I
have never wished for leadership and it's not
from the sunnah to want to be in
a position of leadership to desire it, to
want to be in charge that's not from
the sunnah if Allah puts you in charge,
be responsible but don't strive for it like
the prophet salallahu alayhi wasalam said لا تسأل
عن الأمارة Umar al-Khattab radiallahu anhu said
I was never someone that would strive to
be in the limelight until that day what's
different this time what makes Umar al-Khattab
want to be that person because whoever that
is enjoys the honor of Allah loving him
and the messenger loving him then the prophet
salallahu alayhi wasalam said as everyone is in
anticipation waiting where is Ali?
where is Ali?
and then they said he is feels some
pain or some illness in his eye his
right eye and the prophet salallahu alayhi wasalam
said bring him to me and in the
end long story short it was Ali ibn
Abi Talib radiallahu anhu that day that was
given the flag and the honor of that
title someone whom Allah and his messenger love
when Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala loves someone
the prophet told us that Allah announces it
to Angel Jibreel and I want you to
imagine this could be anyone of us that
Allah almighty announces to Angel Jibreel oh Angel
Jibreel know that I love such and such
it could be someone that is in our
midst right now someone that you know someone
that is engaged in worship someone that is
kind to others someone that fulfills the conditions
of those deserving of Allah's love so Angel
Jibreel will then Allah will say oh Angel
Jibreel I love such and such so now
you have to love him and then Angel
Jibreel will announce it to the angels to
the malaik in the heavens all of them
Allah loves such and such so now you
all must love that person as well and
there are many more angels than there are
human beings my brothers and sisters for every
human being there are two at the very
least if not more and for every spot
in the heavens the Prophet ﷺ said you
can't put three fingers in the heavens except
there is an angel prostrating making sujood the
Prophet ﷺ said in a narration that there
are so many angels that descend on the
night of Qadr that are equal to the
amount of grains of sand on earth imagine
all of those creations loving you and because
they love you they make dua for you
they seek Allah's forgiveness for you then the
Prophet ﷺ said and once all of that
happens Allah puts acceptance on the earth for
that person what does that mean?
قبول في الأرض it means that your life
becomes smooth and easy your life becomes smooth
and easy you're the one that when you
apply for a job that gets it easily
that you want a promotion you get it
easily that you start a business it goes
good that when you have children they are
upright that your marriage is decent everything is
good because Allah has put acceptance on the
earth for you once you have Allah's love
your life goes the right way hence why
we have to strive for it that's the
first thing that you get إذا أحب الله
عبدا if Allah loves one of His servants
نادى جبريل He calls for Jibreel and then
Jibreel calls all the angels and Allah puts
acceptance on the earth for you ease بركة
and benefit what else are some of the
signs of what happens when Allah loves you
when Allah loves you Allah protects you Allah
aids you the prophet said in a hadith
it's a hadith of Qudsi actually it's a
divine narration from Allah SWT من عاد لي
وليا فقد آذنته بالحرب Allah SWT said whoever
shows animosity and anger and hatred and becomes
the enemy of one of my Walis the
Walis are those that Allah loves Allah said
فقد آذنته بالحرب that person I announce war
against him be very careful my brothers and
sisters sometimes when we are going against a
fellow human being you don't know that person
may be loved by Allah and if they're
loved by Allah you better be careful because
if you're unjust to them and if you're
oppressing them Allah has announced a war against
you everything in your life will go wrong
then that same hadith starts to describe how
you gain Allah's love and Allah SWT said
in the narration there is nothing more beloved
to me that my servant does than that
which I have made obligatory upon him مما
افترضته عليه so the way you gain the
love of Allah that will then result in
Allah loving you and Angel Jibreel loving you
and all of the angels loving you and
making dua for you and acceptance on the
earth the obligations the five daily prayers fasting
Ramadan dutifulness to your parents going to Hajj
if you can afford it all of these
things do the obligations is that all?
No ولا يزال عبد يتقرب إلي بالنوافلي حتى
أحبه and my servant doesn't continue making more
ibadah except an extra ibadah we're talking about
the qiyam the witr the taraweeh fasting Mondays
and Thursdays sadaqah all of the extra حتى
أحبه until I love him Allah says and
what happens when Allah loves you فإذا أحببته
when I love him Allah says or her
كنت سمعه الذي يسمع به وبصره الذي يبصر
به ويده الذي يبطش بها ورجه الذي يمشي
بها Allah says I become the hand by
which he uses and the eyes by which
he sees with and they hear what does
that mean it means that this person will
be so guided so protected that they will
not gaze upon except that which pleases Allah
and they will not listen to that except
what pleases Allah and they will not use
their hands except that which pleases Allah and
they will not go anywhere except that it
pleases Allah SWT is that all?
No if Allah loves you and may Allah
love us all if Allah loves you Allah
said if this person asks me I will
give him and if he seeks my protection
I will protect him this is what you
gain when Allah loves you protection and aid
support from the one that is above all
the one that is the greatest Allah Akbar
the one that is able to do all
things is that all my brothers and sisters?
No what else do we gain from the
love of Allah SWT and this one I
want you to pay attention because at first
you'll be like how does this work?
if Allah loves a people Allah tests them
with trials and tribulations when Allah loves you
Allah tests you with trials and tribulations so
never assume that the troubles in your life
are just because they are punishments because Allah
also tests those that He loves why would
Allah SWT do that?
when Allah is Hakeem He is the most
wise there is a narration where the Prophet
SAW said that Allah will write for His
servant to be in a very high place
in Jannah because Allah loves you Allah wants
you to be in the highest place in
Jannah but then your actions and deeds are
not enough to get you there you've strived
you tried you prayed you did but you're
not getting to the place Allah wants you
to get so Allah cleanses you from your
sins in the dunya and raises your rank
gives you opportunity to have sabr when will
you have sabr?
if your life is always easy will you
ever experience patience and sabr?
you will not and why is sabr important?
because Allah loves those that are patient so
among the actions that if we do Allah
will love us that is sabr for you
to have sabr and patience you have to
go through a calamity that's why when there
is losing of loved ones and may Allah
have mercy on all of them and whether
that is illness or whether that is financial
troubles or whether that is a loss of
a friendship or whatever the case may be
if it results in you having sabr and
patience and that sabr results in Allah loving
you then isn't that a good thing?
my brothers and sisters there is a lot
to say about this but it is important
that we first of all appreciate that the
greatest single wish we should all have is
hubbullah because once Allah loves you nothing will
go wrong I say this saying and I
ask Allah to forgive me and you and
to save the Prophet from every sin so
forgive him He is the Forgiving and Merciful
Alhamdulillah and peace be upon the Messenger of
Allah My beloved brothers and sisters I want
to conclude with a story that was narrated
by one of the Tabi'is Abu Idrees
Al Khawlani Now Abu Idrees he actually was
born during the time of the Prophet but
he never saw the Prophet as he was
a young child so he ended up learning
from the companions and grew up as a
Tabi'i Abu Idrees one day he said
I came to he was in Damascus Damascus
and he said I came to the Masjid
of Damascus the main mosque there and there
he said I saw a man and he
said this man he had a presence about
him he had a presence an aura he
was smiling radiant beautiful smile and he said
people were around this person and they would
ask him religious questions and he would answer
them and any of their affairs they would
come to him and he would sort it
out for them and he said as I'm
observing this man I ask who is it?
and they tell me it's Mu'adh Ibn
Jabal Mu'adh Ibn Jabal the great companion
of the Prophet the companion that the Prophet
said to him Oh Mu'adh I love
you Mu'adh I love you the companion
that the Prophet sent to Yemen to call
the people of Yemen to Islam the companion
whom the Prophet said the most knowledgeable of
our Ummah in halal and haram is Mu
'adh Ibn Jabal it was this companion and
he said the following day I came early
to the Masjid early to the Masjid hoping
to catch him and he said as I
arrived he's already there and that was the
way of the companions they were people that
were always engaged in Ibadah he said Mu
'adh Ibn Jabal is sitting there remember he
is he just realized who he is not
too long ago he said I approached Mu
'adh Ibn Jabal from the front I came
and I walked towards him and I said
to him Oh Mu'adh I swear by
Allah I love you for the sake of
Allah I love you for the sake of
Allah and then Mu'adh says to him
Oh Allah by Allah do you mean this
yes I mean this by Allah do you
mean this yes I mean this Mu'adh
said come closer he came closer Mu'adh
grabbed his cloak and said I heard the
messenger say I heard the messenger say that
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said وَجَبَتْ مَحَبَّتِ
لِلْمُتَحَابِّينَ فِيَّ وَالْمُتَجَالِسِينَ فِيَّ وَالْمُتَزَاوِرِينَ فِيَّ my
love has become incumbent meaning they will most
definitely get my love those that love each
other for my sake those that sit with
each other for my sake those that visit
each other for my sake what does it
mean to love each other for Allah's sake
what does it mean to visit each other
for Allah's sake it means that when you
are you have no other personal reason the
relationship between you and the other person is
not based on wealth or dunya or hobbies
or anything other than Allah you like that
person because of how close they are to
Allah you love that person because of their
worship their connection, their knowledge, their ibadah that's
what attracted you to them as a brother,
as a sister because that shows that you
care about Allah and his messenger what makes
this person different than that person well I
see this person in the masjid all the
time I see them in the Qur'an
all the time and because of their Qur
'an and their prayer and their modesty, because
of their hijab and their honesty I have
love for that person that's the kind of
love if you have for your fellow Muslims
that is for the sake of Allah, because
of Allah من أجل الله that will result
in Allah loving you may Allah make us
among those that love him and may Allah
make us among those that are loved by
him this requires another khutbah where I actually
talk about what are the actions that if
we do Allah will love us Allah says
in the Qur'an والله يحب المحسنين Allah
loves those who do good والله يحب الصابرين
Allah loves those who are patient المتقين those
who are pious المحسنين Allah loves المقسطين those
that are just the prophet told us أحب
الأعمال إلى الله أدومها وإنقل the most beloved
actions to Allah are those that are in
consistency the most beloved there are so many
narrations and so many ayats where we are
being told about what Allah loves but that
requires a whole separate khutbah insha'Allah where
we go through these and then start doing
them more and more insha'Allah may Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala forgive all of our
shortcomings may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala bless
