Allah wants plentiful beauty. Where is sacrifice? Where is loyalty? In the absence of these, the value of love diminishes. That is why Almighty Allah postpones the reign of Islam until the last stage.

To attain a resolute love for Allah by thinking, by finding Him in a complicated system, And not to leave Him in any way; this is the love that Allah admires most. For instance, a scourge is inflicted on him but he never gives up loving Allah; he suffers trouble, in his old age or in times of sickness but never abandons Him. Then the quality of his love increases tremendously.

Allah loves beauty, to be admired, to love and be loved.

In the Qur’an, Allah makes it obligatory upon man to think. Moreover, He wants us to think deeply. As one thinks deeper, Allah places knowledge in people’s hearts. He sees the truth, and comes ever closer to Allah. The love he feels for Allah becomes profound.

One does not enjoy a woman out of lust alone. You must enjoy her passion, her role as a manifestation of Allah, her affection and her compassion. You must delight in protecting and watching over her. You enjoy her goodness and beauty and happiness. You delight in her loyalty and, above all, her religious devotion.

A person is passionately devoted to someone he loves. He has compassion and wants to protect and watch over them all throughout his life. Most important of all, he wants to be together with them in the hereafter. That love is love for Allah.

BECAUSE LOVE IS FROM ALLAH, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO DIRECT THE LOVE WITH ATTENTION. It is a unscrupulousness to withdraw one’s attention from Allah. ONE NEEDS TO FOCUS HIS ATTENTION ON ALLAH AND DO WITH HIS UTMOST CARE.

We, on the other hand, say, “We love Allah most”. ALL LOVE BELONGS TO ALLAH, for Allah creates whatever we see. Besides, it is Allah Who makes us love, He inspires some kind of attraction between the two parties, which is very beautiful. A great blessing, masha’Allah. That is why it is very important to devote one’s whole love to Allah.

Allah always says in the Qur’an, “People are cruel and ignorant, ungrateful and give little thanks to Allah.” Somehow people’s minds have been divorced from Allah. That is why while calling on Allah we need to say, “MY LORD MAKE MY ATTENTION BE ALWAYS UPON YOU” but we also need to implore, “MY LORD! GRANT ME A PROFOUND LOVE FOR YOU THAT IS PURIFIED FROM ANY DOUBTS.”

It is also Allah Who gives the love for Himself. It is also Allah Who gives that strength. Once a person attains it, he attains the greatest blessing. He is relieved from a ton of troubles. He feels enormous ease.

ONCE ALL LOVE IS DIRECTED TO ALLAH, DEPENDENCE ON SLEEP BECOMES VERY LITTLE. For instance, our Prophet (saas) slept very little because his body was not harmed.

ONE NEEDS TO FOCUS ALL HIS ATTENTION WITH A SHARP JOY, KEEN FAITH AND ATTENTION. We need to mature our faith and love and while doing this one needs to think rationally and reasonably to attain it.

ONE NEEDS TO DEVOTE ALL HIS ATTENTION TO ALLAH, HAVING NO DOUBT OF HIM. THEN A RELIEVED, HONEST, WISE FAITH COMES INTO BEING.

One needs to focus all his attention and love on Allah.

HAVE A LOVEABLE OUTLOOK ON LIFE. ALLAH CREATED THE WORLD WITH LOVE. It is not Almighty Allah’s intention to persecute us and fill all of Hell with us. There is a verse in the Qur’an which relates, “What would Allah do by persecuting you?”

LOVE FOR SPIRITUAL GUIDES AND TEACHERS BRINGS ABUNDANCE WITH IT. BUT FIGHTING MUSLIMS BRINGS WITH IT AFFLICTION, DISASTER AND ILL-FORTUNE. People just lose their clarity and foresight, so they must not fight them. Allah will trip them up if they do.

Allah tells Muslims about past events so they can see the wisdom in them because past events shed light on future ones, and that is why they are important.

If you say you are in love with Allah, how will you show that love? The struggle you make against hardship, advocating the Beloved One under the hardest of circumstances and siding with Him. Then your faith, love and compassion becomes evident. Otherwise it is not recognized.

Allah does not love insincere love. Allah loves the genuine lover. The one who really loves Him.

ALLAH WANTS TO BE LOVED, BUT HE WANTS TO BE LOVED PROPERLY. Normally even a human being feels offended when he is normally loved. How does one want to be loved? He demands deep love, very intense love.

NOTICE THAT MANY BIGOTS DO NOT LIKE ALLAH. They also do not like our Prophet (saas). They love their sheikhs, their hodjas, their scholars. They love their idols who are their own men.

Why would Allah assign an end for the one He loves? He loves, He wants to love His servant. ALLAH DOES NOT FEEL SATISFIED WITH SOME SUPERFICIAL LOVE. HE WANTS TO BE LOVED FOR ALL ETERNITY.

Why would Allah put an end to the love of a person who is in love? Who would want the love to be stopped? Allah, in no way, wants that. That is why ALLAH WANTS TO BE LOVED FOR ALL ETERNITY. BUT WITH LOVE, NOT WITH SOME SUPERFICIAL LOVE, NOT WITH AN AVERAGE LOVE.

The one who is beautiful takes pleasure from the appreciation of that beauty. This is an inspiration of Allah to us. ALLAH ALSO LIKES TO BE APPRECIATED. ALLAH LIKES US TO BE IN LOVE WITH HIM. ALLAH LIKES TO BE LOVED WITH PASSION.

ALTHOUGH ALLAH DESERVES AN INFINITE LOVE, PEOPLE DON’T GIVE HIM ENOUGH LOVE. THEY DON’T APPRECIATE HIM VERY MUCH. That is why, Allah says, “They do not measure Allah with His true measure.” THE FACT IS, HOWEVER, ALLAH MUST BE LOVED WITH ZEAL. ALL THESE BEAUTIES BELONG TO HIM. All this passion must be diverted to Him. Almighty Allah deserves it.
