Machine translationRead the Arabic original

Question:
Perhaps we will conclude with this question. He says: I want to feel the sweetness of faith and the delight of prayer, so what is the method? Knowing that I pray the five daily prayers in the mosques. So I accept our supplication that all praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds.

Answer:
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) clarified this, saying

There are three things for which whomever has them, then he has tasted the sweetness of faith: The one for whom Allah and His Messenger are more beloved than anything else; whoever loves someone and he does not love him except for the sake of Allah, and whoever hates to return to disbelief after Allah has saved him from it, just as he hates to be thrown into fire.

ثلاث من كن فيه وجد حلاوة الإيمان أن يكون الله ورسوله أحب إليه مما سواه، وأن يحب المرء لا يحبه إلا لله، وأن يكره أن يعود في الكفر بعد إذ أنقذه الله منه كما يكره أن يقذف في النار

Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2624Sahih (Darussalam)

. When these are gathered in a believer, he finds the sweetness of faith. And in a report from Ibn Abbas from

Love for the sake of Allah, hate for the sake of Allah, be an ally for the sake of Allah, and be an enemy for the sake of Allah, for indeed the friendship of Allah is only attained by that.

أَحِبَّ فِي اللَّهِ وَأَبْغِضْ فِي اللَّهِ وَوَالِ فِي اللَّهِ وَعَادِ فِي اللَّهِ فَإِنَّمَا تُنَالُ وِلَايَةُ اللَّهِ بِذَلِكَ

Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 34:545

. And most of the brotherhood among people has become for the sake of worldly matters, and that does not suffice for its people in anything.
