Assalamu alaikum Wa rahmatullahi Wa barakaatuhu REVIVAL OF SUNNAH LOVE - For the SAKE OF ALLAH Huge rewards to gain: The Prophets and Martyrs will envy YOU. The Messenger of Allah salAllaahu alaihi wa sallam said: Allah, the Exalted, has said: For those who love one another for the sake of My Glory, there will be seats of light (on the Day of Resurrection), and they will be envied by the Prophets and martyrs. [At-Tirmidhee] Imagine yourself sitting on seats of light and the best of the best, envying you because you made it a priority to love others for the sake of Allah! You will have a high rank with Him. The Prophet salAllaahu alaihi wa sallam said: A man set out to visit a brother (in faith) in another town and Allah sent an angel on his way. When the man met the angel, the latter asked him: Where do you intend to go? He said: I intend to visit my brother in this town. The angel said: Have you done any favour to him? He said: No, I have no desire except to visit him because I love him for the sake of Allah, the Exalted, and Glorious. Thereupon the angel said: I am a messenger to you from Allah (to inform you) that Allah loves you as you love him (for His sake). [Muslim] Isn’t this breath taking? SubhanAllah!! By loving someone for the sake of Allah, you gain the love of the Highest and which love is better than His? HOW to LOVE SOMEONE for the SAKE of ALLAH? Be patient with others and strive for a clean heart . In your relationship with other believers don’t try to seek the negative side of each word or gesture, be fast in accepting apologies and don’t be selfish. A common issue is the more ‘religious’ some people get, their hatred for others increases. Try to seek the good side in others and always try to find a good explanation or interpretation of certain behaviour or the speech of the other Be a person on whom others can rely in times of need. The Prophet salAllaahu alaihi wa sallam said: The believers, in their mutual friendship, mercy and affection, are like one body: if any part of it complains, the rest of the body will also stay awake in pain. [Al-Bukhari, Muslim] You might know this hadith, but try to truly reflect on it. Do you truly feel the pain of other believers, does it affect you? As this is a sign of your actual love for another! Tell others you love them for Allah’s sake. The Prophet salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said: If any of you loves his brother then he should inform him. [At-Tirmidhee] ACTION POINT Revive the sunnah by telling the ones you love for ALLAHS sake by saying: - أُحِبُّكِ فِي اللّهِ Uhibukki fil-llaahi (TO FEMALE), Uhibbuka fil-llaahi (TO MALE) I love you for the sake of Allah. The plural is: - أُحِبُّكُنَّ فِي اللّهِ Uhibbukunna fil-llaahi (TO A GROUP OF WOMEN). OR - أُحِبُّكُم فِي اللّهِ Uhibbukum fil-llaahi (TO a GROUP of MEN or a MIX of MEN AND WOMEN) When someone tells you they love you for the sake of Allah, you can respond by: - أَحَبَّكِ الَّذِي أَحْبَبْتَنِي لَهُ Ahabakk-illadhee ahhabtinee lahu (for FEMALE) Ahabbak-alladhee ahbabtanee lahu (for MALE) May the One for whom you have loved me, love you, in return. [Above phrases as narrated in Abu Dawood] Call or send a message and say the above to someone you love for the sake of Allah Dont forget to teach others, to children especially. Ya Allah, Ya Waduud help us love others for Your sake. And shower your love on us in return. Aameen. Uhibbukum fil-llaah #copied
