IF A PERSON GETS ATTACHED TO THIS WORLD, HE SUFFERS A LOT. ONCE HE IS NOT ATTACHED TO THIS WORLD, HE WANTS ALLAH, because Almighty Allah essentially wants Himself to be the loved one.

You are all images created by Allah. When a person says, “I don’t like Allah, but I love you”, then this is great cruelty, immorality, remorselessness and idiocy. How can such an image come into existence without it being created by Allah? And once it comes into being, who will make you love it? Allah will make you love that image.

To Whom do the images belong? They belong to Allah. To Whom does our love belong? To Allah. How can one forget about Allah? There is such an abnormality. Allah wants us to be thankful, and in return He says that He will increase His blessings upon Us. That is because everything belongs to Him.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Allah creates His servants so as to love them. Allah wants to be loved, and He loves His servants. He also likes to be loved.

Allah wants to love and be loved for all eternity.

ALLAH PUTS US ON TRIAL, FOR ALMIGHTY ALLAH WANTS GENUINE LOVE. If everyone loves one another like robots, if Allah made it obligatory for them, you would be loving each other under compulsion. That is not what Allah wants. ALLAH WANTS US TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER AMID PAIN, SUFFERING AND HARDSHIP.

Performing prayers is a must; it is an inseparable part of a Muslim. Prayers (salat) cannot be separated from the Muslim. Muslims and prayers are adherent to each other, it is like breathing in and out, it is like the beat of the heart. Can one live without thanking Allah? It is the expression of love towards Allah, it is the expression of thanks.

One would miss beauty. He would miss thanks, miss love. He would miss affections. How nice it is to thank Allah every single day! Performing prayers is a great blessing. Salat is a beauty. Salat is a relief. Salat is giving thanks, it is an expression of love.

Allah is never weary of giving you blessings. And you should never be weary of giving your thanks to Allah. Allah is never weary of loving you, so you should never be weary of loving Allah. That is a blessing. How beautiful this is. How can one be weary of his/her loved One.

You see the blessings of Allah every single day. Remembrance of Allah every single day, thanking Allah every single day would bring contentment to the heart. That is a demonstration of love. As you express your thanks, you pour out your feelings and feel relieved.

Prayer(salat) is a demonstration of joy, a way of thanking. Invoking the name of Allah is a way of thanking. Eating dinner with Muslims is a way of thanking, it is a beauty. We are having fun that is a beauty as well.

Saying; "Praise be to Allah," saying "How beautiful Allah created," in the malls, in the streets, in cars, in buses would be a great service to people. People should hear Allah's Name everywhere. They should hear Allah's Name frequently. They will not forget, they would like that a lot and keep in mind. That is because some people are talking about their title deeds, some others are talking about their Money and others about their jobs, some others are busy gossiping, yet they see that someone there is talking about Allah with love. They would very much envy that, they would love that. They would take that person as an example and want to do that themselves as well.

Forgetting Allah would offend Allah. Even though Allah is the One Who creates fruits, the One Who creates all blessings, the One Who creates beauties, houses, cars, and then some people do not give Him the time of day - may Allah forbid- in any way. They do not say “Thanks be to Allah.” Then Allah takes everything back. Allah says; “I have given you that car. I have given you that house and now I am taking back your house.” Allah says; “I have given you your life and I am taking your life back. Either you will thank Me, or I will take all of them back.”

One should approach God by praising, by giving glory to God. We should increase our thanks to God. When that is increased, the blessings bestowed upon one would increase as well. How does that work? God does that without making it felt. The more you send your thanks to God; the more the blessings bestowed upon you increases. All increase from aspects you do not know of, from aspects you cannot even think of.

We should constantly praise God and be thankful. Giving glory to God is forgotten most of the time. Yet we should constantly be thankful to God. Alhamdulillah.

When one lives among Muslims, even if God gives very limited means, he feels happy. Even if a limited beauty is formed, that feels like a great beauty for Muslims. For instance, a Muslim has a small table but he feels happy with it but that is not the case with unbelievers, they would ask for better even if they have the best table setting. A Muslim on the other hand knows how to be thankful and he thanks God for his position.

If a person is patient, if he constantly thanks God, God would open the doors to him where he least expects. But because they constantly complain, blessings do not come upon them.

The trait of hell is this: it is as if everything has come into being by chance. Fire comes from within, people are like apes and heads are turned backwards. Some have no faces.

A human being is a very fragile being. Allah says in the Qur’an, “Man is created weak.” Whether a man or a woman, they are all weak. They are easily negatively affected. They may get exhausted easily, feel exhausted and get sick easily. As a requisite of the trial in this world, they are created in that manner. That is because Allah does not want us to love this world.
