Do You Truly Love Allah?



Loving ALLAH Azzawajal As per his Revelation:

The first thing the Prophet ﷺ (peace be upon him) said to the people of Madina was "O people! Love Allah with all of your hearts for what He has given you from blessings..." Allah (swt) says in the Qur'an: "And if you should count the favor of Allah, you could not enumerate them." ~ C 14 V 34

"Say, [O Muhammad], "If your fathers, your sons, your brothers, your wives, your relatives, wealth which you have obtained, commerce wherein you fear decline, and dwellings with which you are pleased are more beloved to you than Allah and His Messenger and jihad [struggle] in His cause, then wait until Allah executes His command. And Allah does not guide the defiantly disobedient people." ~ C 9 V 24

"Say, [O Muhammad], "If you should love Allah , then follow me, [so] Allah will love you and forgive you your sins. And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful." ~ C 3 V 31


How can I make my heart love Allah Azzawajal?

1. Read the Qur'an with reflection;

2. Perform more nawaafil (voluntary acts of worship): "Nothing endears My servant to Me than doing of what I have made obligatory upon him to do. And My servant continues to draw nearer to Me with the supererogatory [nawaafil] so that I shall love him." [Bukhari]

3. Always remember Allah (swt): The righteous used to say that if you awake and sleep remembering Allah (swt), then you awake and sleep without a sin. Not that we will not make mistakes, but sins are erased by constant dhikr; (remembrance of Allah, swt) and good deeds, insha'Allah.

4. Choose what Allah (swt) prefers over what you prefer
