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?”

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.

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.

Almighty Allah wants both gratefulness and to be loved.

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.

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.”

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.

Profound faith is the greatest blessing; that is having faith in Allah without any doubt or suspicion. All attention should be directed towards Allah. All attention should be on Allah. All love should be directed to Allah, when you love others you love them as the manifestations of Allah.

Prayers should be very sincerely made. We need to attain that with a special concentration, with a special spirit of sincerity. And the prayers should not necessarily be long. Concise, profound and sincere prayer is very important. It should be heartfelt insha’Allah.

The faith of Prophets and in saintly people are very sharp, because their attention and power of judgment are very powerful. Some people are very distracted and they fail to clear up their faiths and thus remain weak in faith.

Distraction is a very widespread trouble. That is why God has deemed being cautious and careful a religious duty. God says "Be careful!" and commands us to be careful.

Satan might distract people and cause forgetfulness. It whispers evil thoughts into people. Strong, clever people do not give into the calls of the satan.

Concentration exercises can help improve the attention span. By the grace of God, constant exercise will help solve the problem.

What if people could see the state of those ladies and men, who have boasted about themselves throughout their lives, in their graves? For instance, if they could ever see the form those bodies would take after the first 20 to 30 or 50 days; they would have no attachment to this world at all.

Allah creates human beings as cruel and ignorant. That is why people look at others and make errors. They say, “That person has no faith, the other is an imposter and the other is abnormal. In the verse Allah says that the majority of people do not have faith, and those who have faith ascribe partners to Allah. This is the provision of Allah. There is nothing to be astonished with it.

Whoever is conscientious, he sides with Allah. Whoever is unconscientious leaves Allah and pursues his own pleasures. He tends to this transitory world.

People swerve from the true path by looking at the majority of people. In a verse Allah says, “If you follow the majority of people, they divert you from the true path.” You will not abide by the majority. There is one Allah and you. You will look at the Qur’an.

That is how Almighty Allah creates the test. This is the wisdom of Almighty Allah. He shows it as a mere 50 percent to 50 percent. The people of faith makes up 51 percent and above while disbelievers 49 percent and below.
