walaikyumasalam wr wb brother sha587.....love for Allah is the most important thing being a muslim...it means ur life,ur hopes,ur sacrifices n ur relationships are for the sake of Allah(swt) alone...u have submitted ur will to Allah

he knows u the best as he is the one to create u..will u not den love him??? he is the onli true master in reality

u r nuthin but a student and Allah is the examiner...in this life u have come to serve ur lord n u do that by collecting marks(doing righteous deeds the best u can)...the harder u strive the better marks u get...as finally gud deeds should weigh more in the akhirah insha Allah!!!

nuthin happens without his permission

everythin in this life is virtual except the love for Allah(swt) as onli he has power all things....if u wish or desire anythin ask Allah as he is the onli one who can give u...Allah loves those who ask him.....he is the most high the most great

hope insha Allah this answers ur Q.

jazaaq Allah khair

love for Allah...
when one loves someone, he's always in his mind... (making dikr)

when you love someone more than anything/anyone else, you put who you love the most first...

when you love someone, you try to please him and have his acceptance/rida...

when you love someone, you don't want him to catch you doing something that would displease him...

when you love someone, you'll do anything for him...

now imagine "this one" is Allah, who created you and loves you, and your love to him is good for your own good as he the one who protects you, provide for you, and bless you of many many many things/ones... wouldn't you want his love and wouldn't you love him????

Thank you very much for you replies.

But my question is we can love to our prophet, our parents or anyone having the same composition as we have(flesh and bone). So love to Allah have different meaning like i cant love to Allah as i love to my Mom.

Does Love to Allah mean to fulfill the duties that he told us. So if we fulfill the duties that Allah told us than we call it Love to Allah. Because how a human can love to non human. Really confusing.

Am i right. Looking for your reply.

Narated by Anas(ra):the Prophet(Pbuh) said,"Whoever has the following qualities will have the sweetness(delight) of faith:

1. The one to whom Allah and his Apostle becomes dearer than anything else.
2. Who loves a person and he only loves him for Allah's sake.
3. Who hates to be revert to atheism(disbelief) as he hates to be thrown into fire."
"The one to whom Allah and his Apostle..." means that u love Allah and his Apostle more thyan any thing else...e.g. a person loves this duniya forget abt the akhira... a person loves to commit sin but he forget to repent to Allah...a person indulge in worldly activities at time of the prayers he loves his work more than Allah(swt)..he forget abt his duties but love to live wid ignorance.

"Who loves a person..." here loving a person for Allah's sake means that u fear Allah(fear of akhira and of disobeying Allah ) and when ur friend intends to disobey Allah(swt) u remind him of the akhira and u always pray to Allah for him .In a hadiths of Prophet(pbuh) said that On the Day of judgment they will be shade by Allah(swt).( sorry i dont know the whole hadith but a part of it)


I think this answers ur question. May ALLAh guide u Ameen

One may love many things/ones (parents, friends, money, luxury, peace, ...). However, our love for Allah (SWT) should be number one, than our prophet Mohammed (SAW), than other things/ones...

Love is a feeling... one may love someone for his actions or looks... for example, I may love a brother from this form (TTI :D) from the way he responds to people or of his knowledge of islam even though i never seen him, but i love that action that he does... Like wise we would need to learn who is Allah to love him, and so we love Allah for who he is (SubhanahoWaTa3ala)... and when we love someone, we would...
