With kin Allah you hippo and Euro, however Allah loves to see. In
other words all that Allah wants to see is healthy if Allah
callaloo Maya Mora who will his beloved do what he asked him to
do? Okay, well you Hezbollah Xsara Are you Hibou Abner? Who Xsara?
Does he love his Lord more? Or does he love his son more? Now
some people will say, Oh, what kind of god is this is like a
jealous God. It's not good for you, when you love the creation
more than your Creator. It's not good for you. Okay? So it's things
that are out of place, like could you put water in your ear and say
I'm drinking? No. So love also has a hierarchy just like food has to
go in your throat, it shouldn't go in your nose, right? Cook goes
into your mouth. Likewise, love of things has a hierarchy. You can't
love a stranger more than you love your mom. That makes no sense. You
can't go love your neighbor's wife more than your own wife, you're
going to have a problem. Right? So love has hierarchies. Love has
certain structures that benefit the human being and that structure
is to love Allah Most to love the messenger second, okay after Allah
subhanaw taala and the love of the messenger and love of Allah is the
same. He only loved the messenger for the sake of Allah. Okay?
Because the it's very well known that Vic Rasul Allah is the
crolla. To remember the Messenger of Allah is remembering Allah and
to obey the messenger and follow his sunnah is obeying Allah.
Tala Rasool, Allah, Allah, Allah tells us this in the Quran, and
then to love striving for their sake. Now what kind of love is
this? Alright, there are different types of love. Mmm, because it has
a beautiful section on this. Now this love, love can be by a number
of different things. And the basic breakdown is rational love, and
natural love. Natural Love is the love you have for your family for
things that you come across. And then rational love. This is what
Allah is asking, which is to know, in my head the priority that is
that Allah is greater priority. Allah and His messenger and
striving for their sake are of greater priority and deserve first
and foremost obedience. Before I serve my other love so you can
have other loves, but you don't serve them before you serve God
and as profit. I mean, if your boss came and your your son is
sitting there, and you're bringing the juice, who are you going to
serve your boss first or your son first? Right? You love your son
more, but rationally, your boss deserves that respect. Okay, so
this rational love at home would happily is the least that we're
asked to do, by vicar Allah and exposure to the Shema and of the
Prophet and meeting the people of the connected chain, that people's
love for the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa salam actually shifts,
shifts from Rational love to natural love. And this is why
people like how could you love a man who lived so long ago, but
also not only just by meeting and reading shaman, but also that
there is a spiritual connection between the Momineen and the
prophets of Allah who it was suddenly manifest sometimes
through visions of the Prophet peace be upon him manifest through
the Sakina this place in the heart when the messenger has mentioned,
okay?
When we turn to his sunnah, for solutions to problems, and we find
their effectiveness, then you have a natural love for the Prophet
grows. So you can have through experience as a Muslim, natural
love for the messenger side send them despite having between us a
millennium and a half and this is one of the miracles of his OMA
sort of Allah what He was telling them. So this is why if someone
ever gets a request in their head, well, why is Allah wanting to be
loved more is because that's what's good for you. Right? It's
good for the human being. It's like that's how the things are
aligned like this the way the sun is, the way the moon is, okay? The
stars are aligned in a certain way. The ecosystem is aligned in a
certain way. Likewise, the hearts have to be aligned in a certain
way. Okay.
