How to Attain Love of Allah (SBT)

How to Attain Love of Allah (SBT)

Love for Allah is the first and foremost goal of all believers. How can we please Allah? How can we achieve love of Allah? And how can we get close to Allah? These are the fundamental questions we need to find answers to. Success in this life and the hereafter lies in pleasure of Allah. There are many different deeds, izkaar and worships we carry out to attain love of Allah. Sufi’s spend their lives in pursuit of this supreme goal to gain love of Allah. What is the best way to achieve love of Allah? What is the shortcut route? How can we please our lord as quickly as possible? The answer to all these questions is very simple, yet very few of us benefit from this.

Allah Almighty says, "Say: 'If you love Allah, then follow me and Allah will love you and forgive you for your wrong actions, Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful." (3:31).

To follow the sunnat of prophet (PBUH) is the key to attain Allah’s love. Dear brothers and sisters, keep this golden command of Allah (SBT) in mind and it will become easy to attain love of Allah (SBT). We always hear in Juma Khutba and all other Khutbas before speeches by religious scholars that the best way is that of Prophet (PBUH) but we still deviate from the path of Prophet (PBUM). Read about the life of Prophet (PBUH), his appearance, how he dressed, how he used to eat, drink, speak and Walk etc and just simply follow him. This is the best path in the eyes of Allah (SBT). Imam Ghazali (RA) doing the outward deeds leads to love inside your heart. Keeping beard is not only the sunnah of our beloved Prophet (PBUH), it is the sunnah of all Prophets of Allah. What a highest honour we have, if we follow this easy sunnah.

There are endless deeds performed by religious scholars and great people of their age but none has any worth compared to a single sunnah of our beloved Prophet (PBUH). The path of sunnah is approved by Allah and all other paths are rejected. Sunnah of prophet (PBUH0 is noor and rest is utter darkness. Learn how our beloved Prophet (PBUH) used to perform salah, what he used to read after namaz, what are the supplications of Prophet (PBUH) for certain occasions. If we follow his path, we will attain love of Allah (SBT) and succeed.

Remember Allah (SBT) loves his beloved Prophet (PBUH) and he who follows sunnah of Prophet (PBUH) become someone Allah loves.
