LOVE FOR THE PROPHET ﷺ

 ﷽

➖➖➖

*LOVE FOR THE PROPHET  ﷺ*

➖➖➖

*Loving him ﷺ more than anyone else*

➖➖➖

*Translation of video:*

By Allah! The love of Muhammad ﷺ is more beloved to us than the love for our mothers! 

Our mothers brought us out from the womb into the Dunya.


As for Muhammad ﷺ, Allah brought us out from the fire and into Jannah through him,

From misguidance to guidance.


_"No Ibn Al Khattab! Until I am more beloved to you than yourself!"_

He said _"By the one who sent you with the truth, you are now more beloved to me than myself"_

He ﷺ said _"Now oh Umar!"_


*قُل إِن كُنتُم تُحِبُّونَ اللهَ فَاتَّبِعُونِي يُحبِبكُم اللهُ*


_Say if you Love Allah them follow me, Allah will love you._

[3:31]

_____

Hasan Al Basri رحمه الله called this Ayah the Ayah of testing.

It tests the believers, that if they truly love Allah ﷻ, they will follow Muhammad ﷺ.

_

The Hadith the Shaykh is referring to, 

Abdullah ibn Hishaam رضي الله عنه narrates 


*كُنَّا مع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وهو آخذ بيد عمر بن الخطاب، فقال له عمر: يا رسول الله لأنت أحب إليّ من كل شيء إلا من نفسي، فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم: "لا والذي نفسي بيده حتى أكون أحب إليك من نفسك" فقال له عمر: "فإنه الآن والله لأنت أحب إليّ من نفسي" فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم: الآن يا عمر""*


_We were with the Prophet ﷺ whilst he was holding the hand of Umar ibn Al Khattab رضي الله عنه. So Umar said to him "Oh Messenger of Allah indeed you are more beloved to me than everything except myself" so the Prophet ﷺ said "No, by the One in whose hand is my soul, until I am more beloved to you than yourself"_

_So Umar رضي الله عنه said "Now, by Allaah, you are dearer to me than my own self"_

_And He ﷺ replied "Now you are right, O Umar!"_

[Sahih Al-Bukhari No.6257]


And the Prophet ﷺ also said 


*لا يؤمن أحدكم حتى أكون أحب إليه من والده وولده والناس أجمعين*


_None of you (truly) believe until I am more beloved to him than his parents, his children and all the people._

[Sahih Muslim No.44]

_

A major aspect of having Ihsaan, (the highest level of Imaan) is to love the Prophet ﷺ unconditionally above everyone else!

_

When the bedouin asked "When is the final hour?"

And the Prophet ﷺ replied "What have you prepared for it?"

So he said *"Love for Allah and his Messenger"*

And he ﷺ said _"You will be with the one you love"_

[Sahih Al-Bukhari No.3688]

_

The Sahaba رضي الله عنهم rejoiced like never before because of this Hadith! 

Because of their complete love!

_

*Where do we stand?*

NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 29th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Wednesday 8th May 2024). *_NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH_*. BismilLah.  Even though feelings of Panic, stress/worries etc are part of life, they must not reduce our acts of worship or trust in ALLAH. The more a man turns to ALLAH and focuses on HIM, the more he will feel a sense of peace and comfort, to an extent that no one knows except ALLAH. Hence those who know ALLAH, are close to HIM and fear HIM are the happiest of people, to such an extent that one of them said, in a well-known expression: “If the kings and the sons of kings knew what joy we have, they would fight us for it with the sword.” This is also what is expressed in the Qur’an, as ALLAH says: “Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him ALLAH will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and ALLAH will ...

HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaum Al-Khamis, 22nd day of Jumaadal Uula 1447AH, Thursday, 13th November, 2025.  *_HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN_*. BismilLah.  When we help our brothers and sisters in Islam, in reality, we are helping ourselves. The Messenger of ALLAH (S.A.W) said: He who relieves the hardship of a believer in this world, ALLAH Azzawajallah will relieve his hardship on the Day of Judgment. He who makes easy what is difficult, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will make it easy for him in the world and the hereafter. He who conceals the faults of a Muslim, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will conceal his faults in this ALLAH Azzawajallah world and the Hereafter, for ALLAH helps the servant as long as he helps his brother. Source: Ṣaḥīḥ "Muslim 2699. AlhamdulilLah.  With this I hope with immediate effect we will all strive to help each other in any possible way such as making dua for each other, supporting our relatives and those in need in ou...

BEST TIME FOR TAHAJJUD

 *BEST TIME FOR TAHAJJUD* It is best to delay this prayer to the last third portion of the night. Abu Hurairah reports that the Messenger of Allah said: "Our Lord descends to the lowest heaven during the last third of the night, inquiring: 'Who will call on Me so that I may respond to him? Who is asking something of Me so I may give it to him? Who is asking for My forgiveness so I may forgive him?"' This is related by the group. 'Amr ibn Abasah reports that he heard the Prophet say: "The closest that a slave comes to his Lord is during the middle of the latter portion of the night. If you can be among those who remember Allah, the Exalted One, at that time then do so." This is related by al-Hakim who grades it sahih according to Muslim's standards, and at-Tirmizhi calls it hasan sahih. AnNasa'i and Ibn Khuzaimah also recorded it. Abu Muslim asked Abu Zharr: "Which late-night prayer is the best?" He said: "I asked the Messenger of A...
