Allah Loves

Product Information

The Prophet ﷺ said, “The most beloved people to Allah are those who are most beneficial to people. The most beloved deed to Allah is to make a Muslim happy, or to remove one of his troubles, or to forgive his debt, or to feed his hunger. That I walk with a brother regarding a need is more beloved to me than that I seclude myself in this mosque in Medina for a month. Whoever swallows his anger, then Allah will conceal his faults. Whoever suppresses his rage, even though he could fulfil his anger if he wished, then Allah will secure his heart on the Day of Resurrection. Whoever walks with his brother regarding a need until he secures it for him, then Allah Almighty will make his footing firm across the bridge on the day when the footings are shaken.” [ al-Muʻjam al-Awsaṭ 6/139 ] Indeed, Allah loves those who are constantly repentant and loves those who purify themselves” [Quran, 2:222]

Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: ‘if Allah loves a person, He calls Jibrael saying, ’Allah loves so and so; O Jibrael love him.’ And make an announcement amongst the inhabitants of the heaven: “Allah loves so and so therefore you should love him also, and so all the inhabitants of the heaven would love him, and then he is granted the pleasures of the people on the earth.” [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Highlights

Who spend [in the cause of Allah] during ease and hardship and who restrain anger and who pardon the people – and Allah loves the doers of good.” (Quran 3:134 ) To repeat the divine attributes, or, in other words, the remembrance of Allah, inculcates love for God. In other words, it is to recite: Abdullah ibn Mas’ud said, ‘I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, “Which of the deeds is most beloved to Allah?” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Performing the prayer at its prescribed, fixed time.” I asked, “What next?” He replied, “Dutifulness to the parents.” I asked, “What next?” He replied, “Jihad (striving) in the Cause of Allah.” Had I asked him for more, he would have told me.’ [ Bukhari ] The book consists of thirty spiritually enriching chapters, each providing invaluable insights into the attributes and behaviors that attract Allah’s affection. Suleiman encourages readers to strive for piety, excellence, and sincere supplication while emphasizing the significance of repentance, justice, and humility without disgrace.

It was thanks to Allah’s mercy that you were gentle to them. Had you been rough, hard-hearted, they would surely have scattered away from you. So pardon them, and pray for their forgiveness, and take counsel from them in matters of importance. And when you are resolved on a course of action place your trust in Allah; surely Allah loves those who put their trust (in Him). Anas ibn Malik reported: A person came to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and said, “O best of creation!” So the Prophet said: Meaning, ‘Allah loves those who turn to Him’. (Surah al-Baqarah, Ch.2: V.223)” (Ibid., pp. 192-193) 5. Pray and other invocations. We may invoke Allah’s name and continuously recite His Attributes, but merely invoking His Name does not increase our faith or certainty.

It is true, one who sincerely loves Allah may shrink away from the thought of dying before he is fully prepared to meet his beloved One in the Next World, but one would think, he should work diligently to prepare for that sure meeting ahead of time. The first test of how genuine the love is this: he should not dislike the thought of death, for no friend shrinks away from going to see a dear and beloved friend. The Companion Abu Moosa Al-Asha'ri narrated that the Prophet Muhammad said, "Whoever wishes to meet Allah, Allah wishes to meet him." (Al-Bukhari) Forbearance and compassion are the qualities of the Prophet Abraham which Allah has praised in the Quran.

Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian (as) Muslims who believe in the Messiah, Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani (as), Love for All, Hatred for None. Imagine that a certain individual is going through a jungle and is afflicted with an ailment which requires immediate operation. If, in this situation, a doctor suddenly appears riding a horse towards him and treats him causing him to heal, then everyone will realise that this was not merely a doctor, but was God Himself coming to save His servant. Whoever gives food for a fasting person to break his fast, he will have a reward like theirs, without that detracting from their reward in the slightest.” [ Darussalam ]Whoso entrusts their affair to God Almighty and states, ‘I cannot resolve this matter; please resolve this’, fills their heart with divine love.” (Ibid., pp. 194) 7. Act with justice The best way to strive to emulate the way of the Prophet ﷺ – and hence earn the love of Allah – is by engaging in actions he ﷺ has commanded us: When a man says “I accept” at a marriage ceremony. He is saying I accept the responsibility of providing for my wife, loving her and protecting

This means that if you continue to remember Him, then you will eventually attain a status in which Allah will begin to remember you. ( Ta‘alluq Billah, Anwar-ul-Ulum, Vol. 23, pp. 186-187) 2. Fikr: Reflection Allah says, He loves “those who purify themselves” (Qur’an 2:222 ). Wudhu is a form of purification for our sins, and the Prophet ﷺ said, “When a Muslim man performs ablution, his sins are removed from his hearing, his sight, his hands, and his legs. If he sits down, he will sit down forgiven.” ( Musnad Aḥmad ) This Ramadan, you can strive to always be in a state of wudhu even when you’re on your period as it carries a lot of barakah.So as for the orphan, do not oppress (him). And as for the petitioner, do not repel (him). But as for the favour of your Lord, report (it)’. [93:9-11] Allah loves so and so; O Gabriel, love him.” Gabriel would love him, and then Gabriel would make an announcement among the residents of Heaven, “Allah loves so-and-so, therefore, you should love him also.” So, all the residents of the Heavens would love him and then he is granted the pleasure of the people of the earth.
