Shadee Elmasry – How Can I Love God EP. 6 Ramadan 2024

			A lot of times people say when it
comes to God, you should only
		

			worship God for the sake of God,
he should only do good for the
		

			sake of the good. Well, if that's
the case, only 1% of people will
		

			do good because people love
themselves. And the first thing
		

			that a human being naturally loves
is his own self. And in this
		

			hadith of the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam This is revealed
		

			and reflected. Now, the key is
it's not the only state of person
		

			will have, but it definitely is
the beginning state that we all
		

			live in.
		

			The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam says in this amazing how
		

			the Hibbeler Limaye a locum be
Manami already may have a vocal
		

			minyama love Allah for the
blessings by which he sustained
		

			are the blessings which he in
shrouds, you are the blessings
		

			with which he covers you. So why
do you love Allah because he did
		

			good things to you. So who is the
origin of your love yourself? So
		

			the beginner or a novice or a
person who's first starting to
		

			think about things he loves
himself first, and He only loves
		

			Allah visa vie himself and the
Prophet peace be upon him is
		

			saying, if that's your state,
fine, then we can begin with that
		

			and if you died upon that, you'd
still be okay because the Prophet
		

			also pointed to worship of Allah
has three types, the one who
		

			worships Allah only to avoid pain
than the one who worships Allah
		

			only to gain benefit than the word
who worships Allah for the sake of
		

			the love of Allah. And this is
really the natural gradation and
		

			graduation of a person's mentality
and psychology and spiritual state
		

			we conserve the Prophet continues
in this hadith love me for the
		

			love of Allah. So he justifies,
why would I love the Prophet peace
		

			upon? I don't know him? I'm not
from Arabia. I'm not from that
		

			century, right? What would make me
love someone from so far away?
		

			Right? Which is because you love
Allah, and Allah loves the
		

			Prophet. So sometimes our love is
almost indirect. You love the
		

			Prophet because Allah loves him.
Why do I love Allah because he's
		

			nice to me, and he's good to me.
So here are the psychology, the
		

			default psychology, the
foundational psychology is the
		

			recognition that I love myself.
Now here, if you feel that your
		

			love of Allah is weak, or it's
dry, like a desert than love
		

			yourself, but no, who is going to
be your benefactor? Allah is your
		

			benefactor. So if I start asking
for good things, and receiving
		

			good things, I'm going to love
Allah more. And now you start to
		

			realize why Allah answers some
people's dua, who seemed not to
		

			deserve it. Sometimes our own
selves, you get your DUA answered
		

			at a very low time in our worship
and a very low time in our
		

			practice of deen and you wonder
Why did Allah answer this one, I'm
		

			actually being very bad. And the
answer to it is that that's
		

			nourishment for your heart. When
Allah gives you something, all of
		

			a sudden you feel so much
gratitude to Allah subhana wa
		

			Tada, you feel so much love and
you reform yourself as a result of
		

			this. So generosity from God is
not just after doing good deeds
		

			and being good generosity of Allah
is oftentimes the motivation to
		

			transform ourselves. And that's
why even if a person is in a low
		

			state in a bad state not doing
good, you still go to a load for
		

			draw, you get an answer, and
that's going to be the beginning
		

			of your transformation. If you
