Shadee Elmasry – Why Allah Tested Prophet Ibrahim’s Love

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

			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.
