Establishing Love for the Sake of Allah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

Question:
'Abd from al-Jubayl asks about the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him): “Indeed

Allah would say on the Day of Resurrection: Where are those who have mutual love for My Glory's sake? Today I shall shelter them in My shadow when there is no other shadow but the shadow of Mine.

الله تعالى يقول يوم القيامة أين المتحابون بجلالي؟ اليوم أظلهم في ظلي يوم لا ظل إلا ظلي

Sahih Muslim 2566

How does a Muslim realize this love in this world?

Answer:
Yes, a person loves another not for anyone other than Allah, meaning for the sake of his faith, not for the sake of his wealth, or for the sake of his giving, or for the sake of…, but rather he loves him for the sake of his faith, because he is his brother. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

The Muslim is the brother of the Muslim,

المسلم أخو المسلم،

And the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

None of you will have faith till he wishes for his (Muslim) brother what he likes for himself.

لا يؤمن أحدكم حتى يحب لأخيه ما يحب لنفسه

Sahih al-Bukhari 13

. This is the basis of brotherhood in the religion of Allah the Exalted, and brotherhood in the religion of Allah is stronger than brotherhood by blood. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you, and may Allah bless you as well.
