The Love Business

Now, let's talk business! What business? Business with Allah Subhanahujalla feula but this business is a love business! How much would you pay man? To know somebody that you love, loves you back? How about somebody famous that people are, you know standing in the line to get an autograph or just to take a picture with? You know, that they love you. Or how much would you pay to know that the Sahaaba love you? Or even Prophet Muhammad Sallellahu Alaihe wasllam loves you or better yet, Allah Subhanu... loves you? You know what the road map is?

Allah Subhanahu ta'al told you! He says, The best of actions of these are those my slaves do, what is the obligations! You know He says, My slaves still comes to me with the voluntary acts of worship till I love him. Ya salaam! So what is exactly that?It is the other ones the best of it of course Qiamullai, not niamullai! Stay up at night to pray. Not to play or go to sleep through it. He says, those who come and do the acts of voluntary worship, that I love them. What happens is Allah if You love me, He says, I would be that vision that he sees with, the hearing he hears with, the hand that he strikes with, the feet that he walks upon. You know what that means akhi? You would not be seeing things that is unlawful! Or you get a better vision or a healthier vision! You will not hear things that you are not necessarily hear when you are with a group. Or the hands that, gives not takes. The hand that gives someone to help not the one that has taken a bribe or complains about somebody else or lies! Or the feet that takes you to masaajid, not the feet that takes you to bars. It's amazing, isn't it? The down payment is there. But the love of Allah is there! 

So how much do you want it?! How hungry are you for it?! So let's have a homework in sha Allah! Let's think that the eyes are like camera lenses. The ears and your mouth are like mp3. Your mind is your modem, your heart is your hard drive and everything you see, hear, you say is actually downloaded. Cannot run this DVD and hide it from your parents! It will be uploaded on judgement day. Everyone will see it! So ask yourself a question. Are you proud of that DVD or will you be proud of that DVD on judgment day? So let's work for the sake of Allah Subhanahu ta'ala. For the love of Allah, so we can see Him, in sha Allah in Jannah.
