With kin Allah you hippo and Euro, however Allah loves to see. In

00:00:06 --> 00:00:10

other words all that Allah wants to see is healthy if Allah

00:00:10 --> 00:00:14

callaloo Maya Mora who will his beloved do what he asked him to

00:00:14 --> 00:00:18

do? Okay, well you Hezbollah Xsara Are you Hibou Abner? Who Xsara?

00:00:19 --> 00:00:22

Does he love his Lord more? Or does he love his son more? Now

00:00:22 --> 00:00:24

some people will say, Oh, what kind of god is this is like a

00:00:24 --> 00:00:28

jealous God. It's not good for you, when you love the creation

00:00:28 --> 00:00:32

more than your Creator. It's not good for you. Okay? So it's things

00:00:32 --> 00:00:34

that are out of place, like could you put water in your ear and say

00:00:34 --> 00:00:38

I'm drinking? No. So love also has a hierarchy just like food has to

00:00:38 --> 00:00:41

go in your throat, it shouldn't go in your nose, right? Cook goes

00:00:41 --> 00:00:46

into your mouth. Likewise, love of things has a hierarchy. You can't

00:00:46 --> 00:00:48

love a stranger more than you love your mom. That makes no sense. You

00:00:48 --> 00:00:51

can't go love your neighbor's wife more than your own wife, you're

00:00:51 --> 00:00:55

going to have a problem. Right? So love has hierarchies. Love has

00:00:56 --> 00:01:00

certain structures that benefit the human being and that structure

00:01:00 --> 00:01:05

is to love Allah Most to love the messenger second, okay after Allah

00:01:05 --> 00:01:07

subhanaw taala and the love of the messenger and love of Allah is the

00:01:07 --> 00:01:10

same. He only loved the messenger for the sake of Allah. Okay?

00:01:11 --> 00:01:14

Because the it's very well known that Vic Rasul Allah is the

00:01:14 --> 00:01:18

crolla. To remember the Messenger of Allah is remembering Allah and

00:01:18 --> 00:01:21

to obey the messenger and follow his sunnah is obeying Allah.

00:01:22 --> 00:01:25

Tala Rasool, Allah, Allah, Allah tells us this in the Quran, and

00:01:25 --> 00:01:29

then to love striving for their sake. Now what kind of love is

00:01:29 --> 00:01:32

this? Alright, there are different types of love. Mmm, because it has

00:01:32 --> 00:01:36

a beautiful section on this. Now this love, love can be by a number

00:01:36 --> 00:01:41

of different things. And the basic breakdown is rational love, and

00:01:41 --> 00:01:45

natural love. Natural Love is the love you have for your family for

00:01:45 --> 00:01:49

things that you come across. And then rational love. This is what

00:01:49 --> 00:01:53

Allah is asking, which is to know, in my head the priority that is

00:01:53 --> 00:01:57

that Allah is greater priority. Allah and His messenger and

00:01:57 --> 00:02:01

striving for their sake are of greater priority and deserve first

00:02:01 --> 00:02:05

and foremost obedience. Before I serve my other love so you can

00:02:05 --> 00:02:08

have other loves, but you don't serve them before you serve God

00:02:08 --> 00:02:11

and as profit. I mean, if your boss came and your your son is

00:02:11 --> 00:02:13

sitting there, and you're bringing the juice, who are you going to

00:02:13 --> 00:02:16

serve your boss first or your son first? Right? You love your son

00:02:16 --> 00:02:21

more, but rationally, your boss deserves that respect. Okay, so

00:02:22 --> 00:02:25

this rational love at home would happily is the least that we're

00:02:25 --> 00:02:29

asked to do, by vicar Allah and exposure to the Shema and of the

00:02:29 --> 00:02:34

Prophet and meeting the people of the connected chain, that people's

00:02:34 --> 00:02:38

love for the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa salam actually shifts,

00:02:38 --> 00:02:43

shifts from Rational love to natural love. And this is why

00:02:43 --> 00:02:46

people like how could you love a man who lived so long ago, but

00:02:46 --> 00:02:50

also not only just by meeting and reading shaman, but also that

00:02:50 --> 00:02:53

there is a spiritual connection between the Momineen and the

00:02:53 --> 00:02:55

prophets of Allah who it was suddenly manifest sometimes

00:02:55 --> 00:02:57

through visions of the Prophet peace be upon him manifest through

00:02:57 --> 00:03:01

the Sakina this place in the heart when the messenger has mentioned,

00:03:01 --> 00:03:01

okay?

00:03:03 --> 00:03:07

When we turn to his sunnah, for solutions to problems, and we find

00:03:07 --> 00:03:11

their effectiveness, then you have a natural love for the Prophet

00:03:11 --> 00:03:15

grows. So you can have through experience as a Muslim, natural

00:03:15 --> 00:03:19

love for the messenger side send them despite having between us a

00:03:19 --> 00:03:22

millennium and a half and this is one of the miracles of his OMA

00:03:22 --> 00:03:25

sort of Allah what He was telling them. So this is why if someone

00:03:25 --> 00:03:27

ever gets a request in their head, well, why is Allah wanting to be

00:03:27 --> 00:03:30

loved more is because that's what's good for you. Right? It's

00:03:30 --> 00:03:33

good for the human being. It's like that's how the things are

00:03:33 --> 00:03:37

aligned like this the way the sun is, the way the moon is, okay? The

00:03:37 --> 00:03:41

stars are aligned in a certain way. The ecosystem is aligned in a

00:03:41 --> 00:03:43

certain way. Likewise, the hearts have to be aligned in a certain

00:03:43 --> 00:03:44

way. Okay.
