Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: If the love is natural love, but he prioritizes the object of that love over the love of Allah,
Answer:
This is what is mentioned in the verse:[Az-Zukhruf 43:81] “Your fathers and your sons” up to His saying: [At-Tawbah 9:24] meaning, wait for what will befall you. [At-Tawbah 9:24] Yes, so he must not prefer what his soul loves over what Allah the Mighty and Majestic loves; he must prefer what Allah loves over what his soul loves.
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: If the love is natural love, but he prioritizes the object of that love over the love of Allah,
Answer:
This is what is mentioned in the verse:
Say, [O Muhammad], "If
قُلْ إِن كَانَare more beloved to you than Allah and His Messenger and jihad in His cause, then wait
أَحَبَّ إِلَيْكُم مِّنَ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَجِهَادٍ فِي سَبِيلِهِ فَتَرَبَّصُواuntil Allah executes His command. And Allah does not guide the defiantly disobedient people."
حَتَّىٰ يَأْتِيَ اللَّهُ بِأَمْرِهِ وَاللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الْفَاسِقِينَ
