At a crossroad
We fall in love all the time.
We fall in love with;
a well written manuscript,
a melodious and meaningful song,
a person for different reasons,
again another person for a whole lot of other reasons,
and everything else in life that we lose count of...
Eventually at times, we will come to a crossroad - where we are confronted to choose from among the things you love most in life.
This fine morning of 21st Ramadhan, I finally understood what it means when
Hadhrat Anas (radiallahu anhu) narrates that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said:
“Whoever has in him three things, will experience the sweetness of Imaan.”
(These are):
i) His love for Allah and His Rasool is more than that for all and everything.
ii) His love for another (person) is motivated by only the love of Allah. i.e. His love and friendship with people are not for worldly motives. He befriends people because they happen to be pious men of Allah).
iii) A man who, after having been saved by Allah from kufr, abhors returning to kufr as much as he abhors falling into a fire.” (Bukhari and Muslim) (extracted from forum)
