What would be your state if Allaah The Almighty loves you?

Dear brother and sister in Islam,

Do you realize what would be your condition if Allaah The Almighty loves you?

I wish you knew…

I swear by Allaah, The Only God, that if you are a true and wise believer, you would never rest before achieving this great status that cannot be attained except by the fortunate people and the chosen ones, who are completely devoted to Allaah The Almighty and who sincerely worship Him alone. Hence, Allaah The Almighty rewards them greatly and bestows His love on them.

Ibn Al-Qayyim, may Allaah have mercy upon him, said, “When Allaah The Almighty loves a slave, He plants His love in the slave’s heart.” [Madaarij As-Saalikeen]

Once Allaah The Almighty loves a slave, He makes him one of His close people, whom He protects from all evil, encompasses with His mercy, endows with His blessings, opens his heart and reassures his soul.

I wish we would realize the greatness of this status…

What do you need more than that?

It is the rank of alliance with Allaah The Almighty, Who Says (what means): {Say, "O you who are Jews, if you claim that you are allies of Allaah, excluding the [other] people, then wish for death, if you should be truthful."} [Quran 62:6]

O Allaah, We ask You to enable us to do good deeds and avoid evil deeds, and to love the poor, and We ask You to forgive us, have mercy on us and accept our repentance. If You will that trial should befall Your slaves, then take us to You [i.e., cause us to die] without having been subjected to that trial.

Dear brother and sister in Allah,
