The Love of the Prophets (peace be upon them)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: (None of you truly believes until I become more beloved to him than his father, his children, and all of mankind). Is this ruling general for all the Prophets (may Allah's prayers and peace be upon them), or is it specific to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?
This is specific to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). As for the other Prophets, the matter is silent regarding them. However, it is obligatory for us to love the Prophets because of their status of truthfulness, conveying the message, patience, and endurance. We love them for the sake of Allah, and they are at the head of those we love for the sake of Allah. Just as it is obligatory for us to love a person for the sake of Allah, it is obligatory for us to love the Prophets more and more. As for equating them with the love of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), that has not been established.
