In love with Allah

Shaykh Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab


-------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------
Word of Allah (meaning):
"And among men there are those who lift gods besides Allah, they loved him as the love of God. As for those who believe, love to God." (Al-Baqarah: 165)

"Say: 'If your fathers, children, brothers, wives, your kindred, the wealth that ye have gained, the commerce you fear loss, and dwelling houses that you like; it dearer to you than Allah and His Messenger, and (instead) Jihad in Allah's way, then wait until Allah brings about His decision. "." (Bara'ah / At-Tauba: 24)

Al-Bukhari and Muslim narrated from Anas radi 'anhu, that the Prophet sallallaahu' alaihi wa sallam said:

"There are three cases, whoever there is in his third case, he must have felt the sweetness of faith, namely God and the Messenger of Allah is more beloved than others; love someone else just because there is no God, and would not return to disbelief after Allah saved him as he would not that be thrown into the fire. "

And mentioned in another narration: "A person will not feel the sweetness of faith, before ..." and so on.

Ibn Jarir narrated from Ibn 'Abbas radi' anhuma, that he said:

"Whoever loves someone because God hates a person because of God, because God and the person defending against a person because of God, then surely the love and help of God can only be obtained with it. And a servant will not find a sense of joy of the faith, though many prayers and shiyamnya, so he's doing that. friendship among human beings is generally based on the interests of the world, but it is not useful at all for them. "

Ibn 'Abbas, in interpreting the word of Allah Ta'ala: "... and the disconnect between them at all." (Al-Baqarah: 166), he says: "that is love."

The content of this article:

Interpretations of verses in sura Al-Baqarah. This verse shows deify anyone other than God with love as he loves God is idolatrous.

Interpretations of verses in sura Al-Baqarah / At-Tauba. This verse shows that love God and love for the beloved of God must take precedence over everything.

Mandatory love Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam is more than love of self, family and property.

The statement "no faith" does not mean out of Islam, (but the meaning is not perfected faith).

Faith that there is sweetness, sometimes a person can be obtained and sometimes not.

Mentioned four attitudes is a necessary condition to obtain status as guardian of God, and someone will not find a sense of joy of the faith except the four that attitude.

Understanding of Ibn 'Abbas against reality, that friendly relations are generally based on worldly interests.

Interpretations of the verse: "... and disconnect any connection between them at all." This verse shows that the love and affection that has fostered the idolaters in the world will be interrupted at all when in the hereafter, and each of them will get away from him.

Mentioned that among the idolaters there who loves God with a love that is.

Threats against somebody's eighth case of the above (parents, children, siblings, wife, the family, property, commercial and residential) is more beloved than his religion.

Worship besides Allah by loving as God loves, that is shirk akbar.
