real.....................love

We know that God is love. Islam acknowledges Allah to be the Merciful One. Perhaps you may ask, "Is not this name, which occurs in the Qur'an more than any other name, equivalent to love? Are not mercy and love the same?" Perhaps an illustration can help to clarify the comparison between these two words. If a groom would say to his bride, "I have mercy on you and will marry you," what would her reaction be? She would run away from him! But if he says, "I love you," then the relationship will be as it should be.Even in his mercy, which is Allah's favourite name in Islam, he remains the Great and Exalted One who at best will condescend a little to help his needy creatures. Even in exercising his mercy he remains distant and impersonal.

Our God, on the other hand, in his love came down to our level in Jesus Christ. He took on the form of a slave and abased himself to the lowest level, bearing our guilt and taking our place in judgement. His self-sacrifice for us sinners means eternal holy love.We do not have a distant impersonal God, but a Father, a Son and a Holy Spirit, who does not hesitate to save us and make his home within us. In an exaggerated sense we could say, "God, in the earlier meaning of his name, no longer exists since Jesus came to earth. What actually exists is only the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit." As a result everyone who does not recognise or accept the Holy Trinity shows that the true God is hidden from him.http://www.islameyat.com/english/issues/...

All praise is due to Allaah, and we seek refuge with Him in the evil which lies within our ownselves. Whoever Allaah guides, there is none can lead him astray and whom He leads astray, there is none can guide him and I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah and I bear witness that Muhammad (SAAS) is His prophet and messenger.After this, know dear brothers, that Allaah (SWT) has said in His Qur'aan, "And We have not created the Jinn and Mankind except to worship Me."What is the meaning of worship? Is the meaning of worship to establish prayer only or to give Zakah or to make Hajj to the house of Allaah or to make Wudoo, to fast? Are these things only worship? Or are these things mere signs of worship? The truth is that worship, as it was explained by the Shaykh of Islaam, Ibn Taymiyah, worship is an expression of LOVE for Allaah (SWT) and it also expresses complete humility to Allaah (SWT). For worship does not only mean prayer but prayer is merely a sign of worship but worship is indeed love for Allaah (SWT).Many people claim that they love Allaah (SWT) and they say: 'I prayed and I fasted and I made the Hajj and I gave Zakah. After all of this, what does Allaah want from me because I have done all these forms of worship? I have worshipped Allaah.' Has this person really worshipped Allaah? Does Allaah need our prayer? Does Allaah need our fast? Does he need our Zakah and our Hajj. Allaah is High above all these things!Allaah (SWT) said in a hadeeth Qudsi, "O my servants! I have made unlawful oppression upon myself and I have made it unlawful between you. So do not oppress each other. O my servants! All of you are astray except the ones whom I have guided, so seek my guidance and I will guide you. O my servants! All of you are naked except those of you whom I have clothed, so seek clothing from me and I will clothe you. O my servants! All of you are hungry except those of you whom I have fed, seek food from me and I will feed you. O my servants! You make errors in the night and in the day and I forgive all sins. Seek forgiveness from me and I will forgive you. O my servants! You will never be able to harm Me and you will never be able to benefit Me. O my servants! If the first of you and the last of you and the jinn from among you and the men from among you, were to stand as one man from among you, that would never take away from My Majesty one bit. If you were to fear Allaah as the best among you, that would not increase in My Majesty any. O my servants! If the first of you and the last of you and the jinn among you and the men among you, were to perform the worst forms of crimes, that will not decrease from My Majesty any. O my servants! If the first of you and the last of you, the jinn of you and the men of you, were to stand on one side and ask Me, I will give each one of you what you ask and still this will not decrease from My Majesty. This will not decrease from My Majesty as if you dip a needle into the water." Can anyone take away from the Majesty of Allaah? No-one can decrease from the Majesty of Allaah. He is Great and Supreme. Allaah does not need our worship, he does not need our love, he does not need our Salat, he does not need our fast. Allaah is the Owner of all majesty and supremecy and He is independent and above all needs. He does not need our worship. We NEED the worship of Allaah -We need Salaah.We need Zakaah And we need to fast.We need to perform good deeds to the creation. We are poor and Allaah is rich. We are weak and Allaah is strong. We are the degraded, the low and Allaah (SWT) is the High. So we NEED the love of Allaah.O brothers! We relate to Allaah as we relate to this world. Who from among us, when someone comes to him, says to his brother: 'I love you and I am this and that in obedience to you,' and then you say to him, if he said these words to you: 'Have you said these words from your heart?' Did he really understand what he said to you or are you merely speaking words that you have memorised. O brothers, are we truly relating to Allaah in our prayers in this manner? How many of us recite Faatihah, the opening prayer of the Qur'aan, in the right manner? How many of us, when we prostrate to Allaah, we feel in our hearts, humility? We enter Salah, when the Imaam says 'Allaahu Akbar', God is the Greatest and we remember, at that moment, all the affairs of the world. We remember, at this moment, all the affairs of the world. We rememeber, we remember, only at this moment, the affairs of the world and we forget Allaah (SWT). We remember our food when we go to prayer and we remember our friends when we go to Salah and we remember our needs when we go to prayer and we don't know what the Imaam is saying, what he is reading and we don't feel anything from the prayer except for when the Imaam says 'Salam wa Alaykum, Salam wa Alaykum'.Are we REALLY loving Allaah(SWT)? When we are reading Faatihah, do we really understand the meaning or what we say or are we merely repeating words that we have memorised? We will never be pleased if people relate to us in this way, so how can we be happy if we relate to Allaah in this manner? Our heart has become hard and they have become like stones! Even harder than stones! What is the way to the love of Allaah? What is the way which would lead us and help us to arrive at this station of love of Allaah?Everyone of us, at this moment, should ask ourselves - When did you love this person? What were the reasons that lead you to love that brother or that women? There are three things that lead to love. The first is beauty, the second is dignity of character and the third is the kindness and graciousness of that person towards you. Maybe that person is not beautiful and he has no good character but he provides for you all your needs and maybe that is the reason that your heart feels out for him. If we take the first reason, O dear brothers, we know that the hearts are naturally attached, naturally inclined to beauty. No-one can say that beauty does not affect the heart. Therefore if someone intends, or needs to travel to some place, he asks about the natural beauty of that place and if he wants to marry, he asks if the woman is beautiful. Once a young man came to me and he asked me to help him find a wife through my wife and I asked him: What are the things you are looking for? What are your conditions? He said to me: She must be beautiful, long hair, very tender, beautiful eyes and the colour of her must be qurnubee. I said: What is the meaning of this qurnubee? The Shaykh did not know what was meant by qurnubee. He began to describe beauty to me and the last word he said to me: '...and she must be religious, so that I will not despise her because the Prophet (SAAS) said choose the one that is pious.' He did not describe Deen but he described to me beauty. He only mentioned Deen, so that I would be pleased with him and carry out his wishes. So really, the hearts of men are very much attached to beauty.
