A sharing... Love Him

I was amongst the listener of a talk the other day. It just moved my heart. It felt like warmth and pleasure. I was with quiet a few sisters and we heard a beautiful talk about 'Buiding the Souls'.

Since I am trying to survive through this long long holiday, this talk is just right for me. Alhamdulillah. All praise and thanks goes to Allah. ^^


'People who live in Allah's light are successful people.'

'Victory is in the hand of the muslims.’


These two quick phrases were the start of talk. We have to rule ourselves by what Allah has set out for us. Victories are for those who take Islam as a whole.


With Him, there is no such thing as less. We have to know Allah by heart and soul. His blessings to us; our eyes, ears and heart that pumps works every second without failing. The years we have lived is given to Him.

Allah’s affection for us can give strength. When we love Him much, we can feel Him all the time. Any journey along side Allah is precious. The companion of Rasulullah SAW Saidina Abu Bakr said ‘We are those who were given iman before we were given islam’. The companions were extraordinary people, the Quran generation, those whose journey is with Allah and for Him.


Brothers and sisters, we have to return to our aim of life and that is Allah swt. There is no other path to take that will bring us pleasure and victory apart from the path of Islam.


There’s a death story that has a very deep meaning. When prophet Musa as was nearing his death, Malaikat Maut came to take his soul. Prophet Musa as got angry and drive him away. The malaikat went back to Allah and said that Musa gotten angry and would not let his soul be taken. Do you know what Allah replied? He said ‘Tell him, wouldn’t he want to meet his love who is so long to meet him?’


When Malaikat maut returns to Musa saying that, Musa realises his mistake and command him to take his soul at the very moment because he cannot wait to meet his love. How can he do that? One minute, he doesn’t want to die, and the other, he wants to die straight away…? That’s because he loves Allah and as someone who love someone, surely he will do what the person love.


So what Allah likes, that is what we should like. This take process that is called ‘Tazkiyatun Nafs’ which means cleaning the soul. Umar Al Khattab think much of himself before he became a muslim and after he became a muslim. He still thinks he is more important and love himself more when Rasulullah said that he should love him more that himself. So Umar went back and started thinking about it. Soon after, he felt by his heart, that he love Rasulullah more than himself. The things take time. Good things take time but they’ll soon get it right.


Rasulullah waits on the day of judgement for his people. You know how? One of the characteristic that lets him know who his ummah is, is a flawless wudhu’. The parts of the body with the wudhu’ will shine, he’ll know then, that the person is amongst his ummah.


So in conclusion, I can conclude that

1. to love Allah is a strength

2. we will get strength by loving Allah

3. love Rasulullah, means love Allah.


I’m really sorry for any misunderstandings or complicated words. I just basically translate the malay talk to an English one in writing. Please guide me if I am mistaken in any part. May Allah bless us all.

Keep Moving Forward!

^^
