Rasul Suluki – Loving Your Brothers

We are

always grateful to Allah for

having El Maqasit

and being able to come here.

And,

we really like to try to avoid talking.

But,

Masha'Allah,

we,

I was

reading the Hadith of the prophet

where he mentioned

that you will not be a believer until

you love each other.

And,

in the same chapter he mentioned,

or in the next chapter he mentioned,

that if you love someone,

tell them that you love them.

And I think

I'm from a generation where you didn't do

such,

you know,

especially if you were a man, you didn't

say to your father,

I love you dad. I mean,

I wasn't Muslim either, so

we didn't know that such a thing was

supposed to take place between

2 men.

And so,

a lot of us

didn't get a chance to tell our fathers

that we love them.

And some of us, it wasn't until they

were very ill

that we had the opportunity,

or we were forced

by the moment to say,

I love you.

And the reason

for the prophet saying this,

it was mentioned in the commentary

that

it solidifies

the love between people.

When you actually tell someone,

and tell your children

that you love them.

You know, we're we're kind of stingy on

this word, or it becomes the word that

we kind of say and

really we're not connected to what we're saying.

I love you. Well, what does that mean?

Do you all, do you obey? Do you

provide? Do you, you know, the other actions

that go along with this,

this love.

So,

you know, even though you've come from a

generation and maybe from a household, and I

may have mentioned this before,

you know there's some households where they don't

mention this at all, love for each other,

And it's really

sad

that it doesn't take place because it's,

you'll

be surprised the effect that it has on

people, just as the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam

told us that

to smile

when

we're engaging with other people,

and a smile from someone

has a tremendous effect on the heart.

And so,

what we want to try to do

is

the brothers and sisters that we know,

you don't have to do it today because

they might think you're just

copying, but that's not bad either.

But go and tell the people

that you love that you love them

because

we won't be a believer

until we love them.

And the way to nurture that love in

that same hadith was by giving the salaams.

But the salaam

of this is not the salaam,

It's from the heart.

And that's where we want to come from.

My heart to you. Assalamu

alaikum.

And to tell you

that I love you.

For Allah's sake.

And if someone says, I love you,

you say, may the one for whom you

love me,

love you.

Because all of our love is for his

sake.

And that's why,

you know, we're in these sessions like this.

I mean that

the reason for coming is that I'm

I'm praying that Allah

cause love

to enter into my heart for him and

his messenger Muhammad,

and not just an intellectual

or sing along

program, it's really

to infuse the heart with love for Allah

and his messenger.

And if we come out with that, dear

brothers and sisters, we have

we have got the world, and and the

heavens, and the earth, and everything in it.

So

we ask Allah

to help us, to give us tawfiq,

people of the world. We have a very

strong presence in the world. We have a

very strong presence in the world. We have

a very strong presence in the world. We

have a very strong presence in the world.

We have a very strong presence in the

world. We have a very strong presence in

the world. We have a very strong presence

in the world. We have a very strong

presence in

the world.
