The Cause of Love
Religiousness, humbleness, giving away and charity, good manners,
disinterestedness in people’s property, leniency, condolence in times of
misfortune and mishaps, amity, talk with people in matters which they approve of
and refraining from matters which they disapprove.
The Love of Allah Most High
Perform rituals and duties which Allah enjoined upon you, keep doing the good
Muslim deeds, love and pay visits for the sake of Allah Most High, when made
angry forgive, always remember death, love those things which Allah and His
Messenger love, hate those things which Allah and His Messenger hate, love Allah
Most High more than yourself and more than your parents, children, relatives,
money and indeed more than all people and everything, hate those who keep
committing sins.
People Whom Allah Most High Loves Most
Those who help the poor Muslims in their life and means of sustenance, those who
keep believers harmless, those who perform the daily prayers and do the duties
that Allah has enjoined upon them, those whose hearts are intimately attached to
mosques, those who when a dear one is taken away from them they reconcile
themselves with Allah, those who remember Allah often and ask His forgiveness in
the small hours of the day when most people are sleeping, those who are very
helpful and kind, those who are always endeavoring to make favors, the one who
makes people happy, the one who alleviates the sufferings of other believers by
paying their debts and satiating their hunger, those who are not keen to enjoy
this life “for if the light and dark do not come together, so the love of this
world and the love of Allah do not come together”.
When Allah Loves One of His Slaves
He inspires him with His obedience and makes him content with the little that he
gave him, He makes him knowledgeable about the religion of Islam, makes him firm
with assuredness and dresses him with chastity, He endears faith to him,
inspires him with the good performance of rituals, He ornaments him with
assuredness and mild temper, He bestows upon him a sound heart and perfect
manners, He confers upon him good deeds and makes him preoccupied with His love.
