Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : This questioner also asks: What are the causes of losing the pleasure of obedience? I ask you for advice and guidance.
Answer : The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) tasted the taste of faith: whoever is pleased with Allah as his Lord, with Islam as his religion, and with Muhammad as his Messenger. The more a person is pleased with Allah as his Lord, with Islam as his religion, and with Muhammad as his Messenger, the stronger the pleasure of obedience is in his heart. A person should always try to be with Allah (Mighty and Majestic), remembering Allah with his heart, his tongue, and his limbs as much as he can. He should be present in heart with that, not distracted by anything. All of this makes obedience pleasant in the human heart and makes the person satisfied and at peace with what Allah has opened his chest to, which is the religion of Islam. We ask Allah to open our chests to Islam. O Allah, amen.
