Allah ﷻ has sent down an Ayah, which is a test, and a trial for those who say they love Allah ﷻ and His Messenger ﷺ! 

_

Allah ﷻ says in Surah Al-Imran:


*قُلْ إِن كُنتُمْ تُحِبُّونَ اللَّهَ فَاتَّبِعُونِى يُحْبِبْكُمُ اللَّهُ*


_Say (O Muhammad) "If you love Allah, then follow me, Allah will love you"_

[3:31]

Al-Hasan Al-Basri  رحمه الله and several scholars among the Salaf commented, _"Some people claimed that they love Allah. So Allah tested them with this Ayah"_

_

Love is something which cannot be truly ascertained for it resides in the heart.

Yet, Love leaves upon a person signs and traces which are recognisable.

_

Similarly, when a Mu'min says he Loves Allah ﷻ and Prophet ﷺ, this Love should leave signs upon a person.


First and foremost would be the willingness to submit to the will of Allah ﷻ.

_

As Allah ﷻ says 


*قُلْ أَطِيعُواْ اللَّهَ وَالرَّسُولَ*


_Say "Obey Allah and the Messenger"_

[3:32]

_

This Obedience to Allah ﷻ and submission to Him and the willingness to follow Muhammad ﷺ and his way, is what differentiates the true love from the false love.

_

Essentially, if you want to know how much you love Allah ﷻ and his Rasool ﷺ, reflect on how many times you've chosen your desires over what they commanded you to do.

_

The next stage is, Reflect on how WILLING you are to obey Allah ﷻ and His Rasool ﷺ over your own desires, even if you do obey, did your heart incline or resist it? 

_

These are questions we need to ask, 

Because if I asked you to raise your hand if you loved Allah, you wouldn't hesitate! 

_

But if I asked you to get rid of your boyfriend/girlfriend, would you hesitate?

_

If I asked you to get rid of the make-up and fashion hijabs in your closet, would you hesitate?

_

If I told you to grow your beard and to wear your pants above your ankles would you hesitate?

_

Then how much can you actually claim to love Allah ﷻ and His messenger ﷺ?

_

So what do we get, if we do obey Allah ﷻ and His Messenger ﷺ? 

_

We shouldn't even expect anything, but yet Allah ﷻ, Ar Rahman promises us.


*وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوبَكُمْ وَاللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ*


_And forgive you your sins. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most merciful_

[3:31]

_

What better reward is there than Paradise after forgiveness and safety from Hellfire? 

_

Even though, Allah ﷻ addressed the Qur'aysh, know that they turned away, and if you follow them, you share their characteristics.

_

May Allah ﷻ protect us and make us among those who truly love Allah ﷻ and His Messenger ﷺ.

*آمِيْن يَارَبَّ الْعَالَمِينْ*

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 ...

One of the question asked is can a Christian enter Jannah today?

 One of the question asked is can a Christian enter Jannah today? Alhamdulillah, it is clear from Quran and hadiths that any christian who dies believing Jesus is God or son of God and do not believe in prophet Muhammad Peace be Upon Him will enter hellfire. Allah says, Al-Ma'idah 5:17 They have certainly disbelieved who say that Allāh is Christ, the son of Mary. Say, "Then who could prevent Allāh at all if He had intended to destroy Christ, the son of Mary, or his mother or everyone on the earth?" And to Allāh belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them. He creates what He wills, and Allāh is over all things competent. Allah says, Al-Ma'idah 5:72 لَقَدۡ كَفَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَۖ وَقَالَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ يَٰبَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ رَبِّي وَرَبَّكُمۡۖ إِنَّهُۥ مَن يُشۡرِكۡ بِٱللَّهِ فَقَدۡ حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ وَمَأۡوَىٰهُ ٱلنَّارُۖ وَمَا لِلظَّٰلِمِينَ مِنۡ أَنصَ...

Friday and it's dignity.

 Friday and it's dignity. Alhamdulillah, Allah says, Al-Jumu'ah 62:9 يَآأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِذَا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلَوٰةِ مِن يَوۡمِ ٱلۡجُمُعَةِ فَٱسۡعَوۡاْ إِلَىٰ ذِكۡرِ ٱللَّهِ وَذَرُواْ ٱلۡبَيۡعَۚ ذَٰلِكُمۡ خَيۡرࣱ لَّكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ O you who have believed, when [the adhān] is called for the prayer on the day of Jumuʿah [Friday], then proceed to the remembrance of Allāh and leave trade. That is better for you, if you only knew. Friday is the best day of the week because it was the day Adam was created, the day he entered paradise and the day he was removed from paradise. it was also the day he died and the hour(qiyaamah) will not come except on this day. Sahih. It was narrated from Aws bin Aws that: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Whoever washes (ghassala) and performs ghusl, comes early to the masjid and sits near the imam and does not engage in idle talk, he will have for every step he takes (the reward of) a year's worth of good deeds, fasting it and...
