If He turns away from him, he becomes lost *** and returns in this universe as one who wanders (Exhortation to love Allah and magnify Him, for through love comes obedience, and through magnification comes the abandonment of sin)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : And at that point, it cannot be competed with, but rather it is a branch of what?
The student: Of it.
The Shaykh : A branch of it, a branch of it. That is why you find that you love this person as long as he is worthy of love for the sake of Allah. But if he deviates, may Allah protect us, then you will hate him; you will not love him; you must hate him. So, fill your heart with the love of Allah so that you find peace, you find peace, and even your words, your actions, your walking, your coming and going, your sitting, and your sleep are all beneficial to you, because you are mindful that you are doing it for Allah, Mighty and Majestic. He says: "If He turns away from him" from what? From the love of the Most Merciful, Mighty and Majestic.
"He becomes lost *** and returns in this universe as one who wanders"
Correct. If his heart is empty of the love of Allah, he becomes lost, wandering here and there, here and there. So, my brothers, purify your love for Allah alone. And with that, also magnify Allah, Mighty and Majestic. For through love, the act of obedience occurs, and through magnification, the abandonment of sin occurs. Because if you know the greatness of the Lord, Mighty and Majestic, you will revere Him and fear His disobedience. And if you love Him, you will desire Him and seek Him. Therefore, worship can only be completed upon these two foundations: love and magnification. And it is not accepted and not valid except with two basic conditions as well, which are sincerity and following the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). There is a fundamental structure and there is a validator. What is the fundamental structure? What is it? Where are we, my brothers?
The student: Love and magnification.
The Shaykh : Love and magnification. Love and magnification is the structure of worship. Yes, through love comes
The student: Obedience.
The Shaykh : obedience by carrying out the commands, seeking this Beloved. If someone you love among the people says to you, "Do this, do this," your compliance and obedience will be according to your love for him. If you love him, if he invites you in the dark night, you would respond. If he says, "Sleep on the roof in the cold night," you would sleep there because you love him, seeking to reach him and please him. But if there is no magnification of him in your heart, it does not matter to you if you disobey him, because you are safe. But if there is love and magnification, you will not return to being disobedient to him. Therefore, the worship of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, is not established except upon these two foundations, and it is not valid except with two basic conditions as well, which are: sincerity... What is the structure?
Love and magnification. Upon them is the foundation of worship, my brothers. Here is the validator, and what is it? Sincerity and following. Sincerity to Allah and following His Shari'ah, Mighty and Majestic.
