LOVING ALLAH ABOVE EVERYTHING A point for self reflection

*LOVING ALLAH ABOVE EVERYTHING*

➖➖➖

*A point for self reflection*

➖➖➖

Allah ﷻ says 

*وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَتَّخِذُ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ أَنْدَادًا يُحِبُّونَهُمْ كَحُبِّ اللَّهِ*

_And from amongst the people are those who take rivals with Allah and love them as they love Allah._

*وَالَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ أَشَدُّ حُبًّا لِلَّهِ*

_But those who believe, love Allah more_

[2:165]

_

By Allah ﷻ ask yourselves this question,

The undivided love in your heart is for whom?

_

 Because these believers love Allah ﷻ, know His greatness, revere Him, believe in His Oneness, then they do not associate anything or anyone with Him in the worship. Rather, they worship Him Alone, depend on Him and they seek help from Him for each and every need.

_

*سبحان الله*

This Ayah is referring to the Mushrikeen, unlike many of us who are muslim.

_

But there is a stark and grave warning for us! 

_

Let us sit and reflect on ourselves for a moment! 

How many times did I forego my Salah while doing some work? 

How many times when I went out with friends? 

_

Do I continually choose my desire for this girl over my desire to please Allah ﷻ instead? 

Do I continually choose my desire to free-mix instead of seeking Allah ﷻ? 

_

How many times have I chosen Allah ﷻ and his pleasure over my own happiness and desire? 

_

Because if we keep choosing things over the command of Allah ﷻ, where the evidence to substantiate our claims that we love Allah ﷻ or Prophet ﷺ? 

_

Allah ﷻ didn't create us in order to say لا اله الا الله و محمد رسول الله and do nothing after that! 

What does Allah ﷻ say 

*وَ مَا خَلَقْتُ الجِنَّ وَ الإِنْسَ اِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُون*

_And I did not create Jinn and mankind except to worship me._

[51:56]

_

Worship refers to action! Logically!

_

Because Allah ﷻ has stipulated certain acts of worship, and commanded us to abstain from sin on top of that! 

This is where the evidence or lack thereof will be,

In your Amal! 

Your decisions! 

_

How many times did you choose sleep over Qiyam Al Layl, 

How many times did you feel that you didn't need to do Tawbah?

_

While these are't fardh,

It is what brings us closer to Allah ﷻ

_

May Allah ﷻ keep us steadfast upon His Deen.
