The Ruling on the Exclusivity of Raghbah (Longing) for Allah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, you mentioned, may Allah preserve you, in the lesson that longing (raghbah) is exclusive to Allah and is not shared between Allah and His Messenger.
The Shaykh:
Raghbah, raghbah, is not the same as general desire (raghabah). Raghbah, or to desire wealth, or to desire a wife, no, raghbah is not for anything but Allah,[Al-Anbya 21:90], yes.
The questioner:
He says: What does that mean? What does it mean that it is exclusive to Allah?
The Shaykh:
We clarified this when we said that raghbah is not general desire. Yes.
