Shadee Elmasry – How Do You Love Someone You’ve Never Seen

Not only is what is coming better, we're going to receive something

that will make us happy because isn't isn't every creature living

to attain the level of happiness? Right? Trees, the lean towards the

sun, everyone is living and existing for what would make it

happy. And we shouldn't shy away from that. That's one of the

reasons people love Allah subhanaw taala and have devotion is because

makes them happy.

Right? Yesterday, we just attended three more than we talked about

the love of the messenger peace be fine. And but I wish that the

topic came up. And if I had had a chance to talk to you, I know what

it said. People don't really understand how is it you love

somebody you've never seen? It doesn't make any sense. So the

concept and the idea is that people love the Salawat. First,

the practice, because saying the Salawat. You may think like, I

don't know if I'm going to try it, right. But when you do.

It's almost like a spiritual honey enters inside us such a Sakina and

a cure for all of these terrible things that happened to people and

these feelings that are inside one. I just gone. Like I can't

even explain how nothing changed in the world, the feeling is gone.

So people first love the Salawat because they experience it. You

cannot just love somebody who's just an idea.

You have to feel something first. If you can't see it, you got to

feel that at least. So that's what we do have we do have that

feeling, right? And then there's like the other aspect of well, the

profit is purely mental. And we live now you look around, there's

no drugs, there's no alcohol. There's no Zina.

You don't realize how massive these three things are. There's no

interest. Because credit cards, I want to get something I'll pay for

it later. Right? It's, it's one of the most tempting ideas. If there

was interest, I would have started 50 businesses by now. Right? Yeah.

Because there's interest gambling, these people are almost like

suicidal, right? When they mess up. So all these things that are

actually like they ruin people's lives.

They mentally realize, thank God that we have this religion because

otherwise I wouldn't be able to,

to apply that to myself or others. So all these is how the prophets

of Allah who it was some of them by the law that Allah brought

through him, saved us from all these problems. So that's mental,

then the Salawat that's a feeling. So people are always trying to be

happy. And, and those Salawat that's why people love the

messenger. First, they love the sun a lot. Then, after some time,

they start to attribute that to the Prophet himself, that they

start to connect it to the just like in Islam, people love the

acts of worship first. And they love Allah after that. Because you

think of the acts of worship, they give us something to do masajid

ombre, you go to Ramadan every night. It's like all of a sudden,

like I got friends I know people are there's always something to

do. So you love the acts of worship first. And then the one

whom you worship. That is comes later. Right? So there's always

got to be this connection. So here when we say this was a sofa, y'all

DECA book of eternal love, people love Allah because Allah makes

them happy. That's a real simple answer to it. Right? If someone

asked me, Why do you do it? What's going on? What do you do? This

makes me happy. What can I tell you? Right? I had issues.

I said, let me give this a shot. My issues went away. I wanted

things. I said, let me go to this source. I got those things. It's

very selfish in the beginning, but that's okay. Because that's the

actual reality of life. People care about themselves first.

Right? And then after that, you start looking at who gave me all

this now. You reach the point that Okay, from here on. I want to live

as a grateful servant. I want to be grateful for this. I want to

show gratitude for this. And that's how you live so this is the

importance of this as well as selfie or decode a book of a total

dog right Allah Tada is gonna give you so that you become happy
