The Obligation of Prioritizing the Love of Allah and His Messenger
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Shaykh, this is a meaning that is absent from the hearts of many Muslims. They ask: How can I find in my heart the love of Allah and His Messenger, such that they are dearer to me than everything else?
Answer:
If one prioritizes what Allah loves over what his own self loves, that is a sign of the sincerity of faith. But if he reverses it and prioritizes what his own self loves over what Allah and His Messenger love, that is hypocrisy. Yes.
