 Pearls of Wisdom: No.43

“Food for the Soul”

 

SUBJECT:  LOVE FOR THE MESSENGER OF ALLAH (peace be upon him)

 

 

Allah, The Most Exalted, says:

“Say: If you do love Allah, follow (and love) me, Allah will love you.” (Qur’an 3:31)

 

The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said;

"None of you will have faith till he loves me more than his father, his children and all mankind.” (Hadith-Bukhari)

“He who loves my Sunnah (practices), has loved me and he who has loved me will be with me in Jannah (Paradise)” (Hadith – Tirmidhi) 

 

Note: Just as it is incumbent upon us to love Allah Ta’ala so too is it also incumbent upon us to love His Final Messenger Muhammad (Peace be upon him) who sacrificed so much for our guidance and eternal salvation.

The Messenger of Allah(pbuh) was both internally and externally truly remarkable and extremely beautiful and was indeed a beacon of light for all of humanity. Just as there is no relish in the food without salt, so to the beauty and wisdom of Islam cannot be truly appreciated without sincere love for The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him).
