Do you love Allah (Glory Be To Him)? Majority of human race believe in some sort of super force managing their lives. It is not difficult to find someone who belief in God. In my first book ‘Jinn’ I have touched very mildly on this belief of God. However, our objective must be in line with Allah (Glory Be To Him) decree. There is no point in believing in Allah (Glory Be To Him) and ignorant of Allah’s (Glory Be To Him) guidance.
What is Guidance?
When we were young, our parents or guardians teach us what and what not to do. We were always being taught and reminded the ‘do’s ‘and ‘don’ts’. We listen and comply is because we ‘fear’ what may happen if we go out of the ‘rules’. We do not listen when we think that the pasture on the other side will be better than the present one. We were termed as rebellious.
Everything has a limit. When we eat too much, our body does not make space for the fats to accumulate. It does not expand itself. As a result, our profile gets bloated and we become fat. The house we occupy has also its limit. The walls act as a protection from sunlight, rain and wind. Can we live in an open space?
The world we live in is one among the billions of planets in our cosmic ocean we call universe. Scientist and futurist are exploring to colonise planets for future living. However, at any point in time we are always living with limits. That is the reality. They claim to have found many planets, but is it possible to migrate and live in another planet? This is what Allah (Glory Be To Him) has to say in his glorious Al Quran
Ya maAAshara aljinni waalinsi ini istataAAtum an tanfuthoo min aqtari alssamawati waalardi faonfuthoo la tanfuthoona illa bisultanin
55:33 O ye assembly of JINNs and men! If it be ye can pass beyond the zones of the heavens and the earth, pass ye! not without authority shall ye be able to pass!
To discover a planet like earth is also within the permission and Will of Allah (Glory Be To Him). Though the probability of having another earth can be philosophically right, Allah (Glory Be To Him) can only decide the physical existence of another earth. At this point of time, the reality is that we have only one earth to deal with.
The Message in the Quran is from the Creator, Allah (Glory Be To Him) The Truth of all reality. It is in His Hand our lives and our destinies. Who are we to ignore this? We can boastfully say that we love Allah (Glory Be To Him). However, how sure are we that we indeed love Allah (Glory Be To Him)? If you love a person, the person will tell you that he or she loves you in reciprocation. That person might tell you to do this and that to ‘test’ your love. The subject might also show you the road or way by which you can clearly show your love towards the subject concerned.
Allah (Glory Be To Him) teaches us how to love Him in this verse:
Qul in kuntum tuhibboona Allaha faittabiAAoonee yuhbibkumu Allahu wayaghfir lakum thunoobakum waAllahu ghafoorun raheemun
3:31 Say: "If ye do love Allah, FOLLOW ME: Allah will love you and forgive you your sins: For Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."
Prophet Muhammad (May Peace And Blessings Of Allah swt Be Upon Him) is the last prophet of Islam as a guide to mankind. He is the most beloved of Allah (Glory Be To Him). If you are clever person, you will not wait to learn about this prophet: how he sleeps, how he eats, how he behaves to another person, how he drinks, how he dresses, and so on. My suggestion is to know all about Prophet Muhammad in the various hadiths that we have. You can then cross-reference those hadiths with the Al Quran to get a much clearer picture of Prophet Muhammad (May Peace And Blessings Of Allah swt Be Upon Him).
In essence, the only we can be accepted as a lover of Allah (Glory Be To Him) is when we follow the last Prophet of Islam: Prophet Muhammad (May Peace And Blessings Of Allah swt Be Upon Him).
