A lot of people ask, why is it that we should love the Prophet
more than our own selves, when that's not natural to do so,
reason being is that we can only enjoy life and enjoy Allah's
blessing. If our foundations are south, and foundations are set by
the dean. This is why I love commands to love Allah and His
messenger and struggling for their sake meaning struggling to
ensure that the foundation is safe, why you can enjoy yourself
without a sound foundation. So in this world, paying utility bills
is more important than buying snacks, right? Then dessert. Your
health is more important than a lot of other things. These are the
foundations on which you enjoy the rest of life. So if you want to
enjoy the rest of your life, you got to get your foundations right.
And that foundation Allah tells us is your Creator, his prophet, and
his religion is the law by which we live. And that's the logic
behind which we love Allah and His messenger and his Deen more than
our own selves.
