Question:
The saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)Sunan al-Bayhaqi 10:849 Does this love constitute a means of drawing near to Allah?
Answer:
Love for women and perfume is a natural love. It is a natural love, not a love of worship. However, he made the delight of his eyes in prayer. His love for prayer is greater than his love for women and perfume and the comforts of life. He takes more pleasure in prayer than he does in the joys of this world and its comforts. He finds in it the pleasure of prayer; he finds in it a pleasure greater than the pleasure found in consuming permissible desires. Yes.
