How to love someone
Since love among the believers is a condition of faith in Islam, the peace and harmony that is desired by all can be achieved, as each individual strives to do good and earn reward. So, what can we do? How can we be sure that our friendships are for the sake of Allaah? Our lives are full of opportunities to increase and improve our friendships. First, as with any undertaking, we need to make clear, pure and sincere intentions. Pertaining to the existing friendships that we already have, we should make a conscious effort to love our friends for the sake of Allaah. When we make friends in the future, we should also make conscious intentions that those new friendships will be for the sake of Allaah.
After a pure intention, we need sincere actions. The Prophet recommended a very simple but significant way to help Muslims gain brotherhood saying: %26quot;I swear y the One in Whose hands my soul is, you will not enter Paradise until you believe, and you will not believe until you love one another. Shall I not tell you of something that if you do it, you will love one another? Spread salaam [greeting one another saying: As-Salaam Alaykum] amongst yourselves.%26quot; [Muslim] Greeting each other frequently and lovingly is the first step to achieving the ideal brotherhood.
It would seem that greeting another with %26quot;As-Salaam Alaykum%26quot; is an easy action. However, given the nature of men and women and our vulnerability to changing emotions, sometimes these simple words are hard to utter. In other words, there are times when even this simple greeting is hard to say to someone with whom we might have argued. The beauty of Islam is that it is realistic. So, it is allowed for us to take time to %26quot;cool off,%26quot; but we are not allowed to cut off friendships based on rash and unreasonable emotions. The Prophet said, %26quot;It is not permissible for a Muslim to be abandon from his brother for more than three days, both of them turning away from one another when they meet. The better of them is the one who is first to greet the other.%26quot; [Al-Bukhaari and Muslim]
These teachings encourage Muslims to improve themselves, thereby improving their society. %26quot;Do not break off ties with one another, do not turn away from one another, do not hate one another, and do not envy one another. Be O slaves of Allaah brothers.%26quot; [Al-Bukhaari]
The Prophet's memory and words live in our hearts and minds. Heeding his advice, we should realize that we are supposed to be brothers or sisters in Islam because we share a common religion and belief. We are to be brothers and sisters in our hearts because we share a common goal-Allaah's pleasure.
I only been in this section for a very limited amount of time, but I have people I can trust and ask favors and they never let me down, this is also part of the Love for the sake of Allah and which it can achieve us, and way beyond. I can't tell you who you are.?I can only love you and be your friend.
May Allah Make It Easy In Whatever We Do
Inshallah
--Next post is about Parents And how there level in Islam.—
We cannot progress if we do not learn. And in today's world, fast-changing technology has created a global village that makes the learning process easy. In the world of satellites and the Internet, we cannot feign ignorance. That in itself would be a crime. I am not saying that we should become imitators. We should, however, tailor ideas and methods to our needs, altering parameters to fit our culture, traditions, and ideology. Our capacity to improvise creatively will be the deciding factor in differentiating us from those societies that have yet to become successful.
It is here that we should follow our Prophet (peace and blessing be upon him) and set an example so that others will truly appreciate the philosophy of our ideology and abide by the example of the greatest of all people. Let us teach ourselves and our children and make them aware of the life of the Prophet (peace and blessing be upon him) and use it as an example in our daily lives in order that we may improve our conduct and become better human beings.
Let us all pray that in the Hereafter we will have a chance to be near our beloved Prophet (peace be upon him).
[Ramadan] How To Love In Islam?
Salaam,
Good article.My answer will be a bit long too.
We should love every thing for Allah Almighty’s sake and in the name of His love. For example, to love delicious foods and luscious fruits as being the bounty of Allah Almighty, the All-Merciful and Compassionate One, is to love His Names of All-Merciful and Bestower of Bounties, and, moreover, takes on the meaning of thanks.
Furthermore, love and respect for parents, when for the sake of the wisdom and mercy that compassionately fitted you out and caused them to bring you up with tender care, pertain to Allah Almighty’s love.
And, to love and protect children with perfect compassion and tenderness because they are gifts of the All-Compassionate and Generous One once again pertains to Allah.
As for friends and acquaintances, if they are friends of Allah Almighty by reason of their belief and good works, according to the meaning of ‘love for Allah’s sake,’ that love, too, pertains to Allah.
Furthermore, love and cherish your wife as a companionable and gracious gift of divine mercy.
And to love the prophets and saints as Allah Almighty’s most esteemed bondsmen is to do so for the sake and in the name of Allah Almighty, and from that point of view it pertains to Him.
And to love and preserve life as most precious wealth and capital that will gain eternal life, and a comprehensive treasury yielding eternal perfections which Almighty Allah has given to you and to all humanity, and to employ it in His service, is, once again, in one respect, love that pertains to the True Object of Worship.
Also, to admire, love and put to proper use the grace and beauty of youth as being a fine, sweet and beautiful bounty of Almighty Allah is a sort of licit and thankful love.
And to love the spring thoughtfully as being the page of the subtlest and most beautiful inscriptions of Almighty Allah’s luminous Names and the most finely adorned and glittering exhibition of the All-Wise Maker’s antique art is to love His Names.
And to love this world as being the tillage for the hereafter, as a mirror of the Divine Names and a missive of Allah Almighty, and as a temporary guest-house, on condition that the evil-commanding soul does not interfere, is to do so for Allah Almighty’s sake.
In short: Love this world and the creatures in it as pointing to a meaning beyond themselves, like a word. Do not love them just for themselves. Say, “How beautifully they have been made.” Do not say, “How beautiful they are.” Do not give any opportunity to other loves to enter into your inner heart because the inner heart is the mirror of the Eternally Besought One and pertains only to Him. Say, “O Allah, grant us love for You, and love for that which will draw us closer to You.”
Jazakallah Khair!
