Love To Allah

Dear children! Allah Almighty is our creator. How should we love Him? Let’s find out this from Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat, ‘Allamah Maulana Muhammad Ilyas Attar Qaadiri دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ.

Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ states: ‘Allah Almighty loves us more than our parents. Therefore, we should also love Allah Almighty more than our parents and everything that is beloved to us. He is the One who gives us sustenance, feeds us, and gives us water to drink, sweet and tasty mangoes, apples, and oranges. What great blessings Allah Almighty grants us! We all should love Allah Almighty. He is the One who created us.’

Dear children! The one who is loved is obeyed. That’s why, Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat says, ‘We should worship Allah Almighty, offer Salah, and obey all His commandments.’ (Madani Channel, Program ‘Bachon ki tarbiyyat,’ Clip: Allah Almighty’s love for His bondsman)

We pray to Allah Almighty to bless us with His true love.

اٰمِیْن بِجَاہِ النَّبِیِّ الْاَمِیْن صلَّی اللہ علیہ واٰلہٖ وسلَّم

Question 1: Why is the region Arabia known as ‘Jazeerat-ul-Arab’?

Answer: Like an island is completely surrounded by water, this region is also surrounded by the ocean on three sides and river Euphrates covers it on the fourth side. That is why, it is known as ‘Jazeera-tul-Arab’ i.e. Island of the Arabs (more commonly known as Arabian Peninsula). (Seerat-e-Mustafa, pp. 40, summarised)

Question 2: Why is the great-grandfather of our Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰـە عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم called ‘Hashim’?

Answer: Once due to a famine, Sayyiduna Hashim رَضِىَ اللّٰـەُ عَـنْهُ brought dry bread from Shaam. He crumbled it, made Sareed (a dish) by mixing it in the gravy of camel meat and fed it to the Hajj pilgrims to their fill. Since then, people started to call him ‘Hashim’ (i.e. the one who breaks bread into pieces). (Madarij-un-Nubuwwah, vol. 2, pp. 8; Seerat-e-Mustafa, pp. 52, summarised)

Question 3: Why is Sayyiduna Nuh عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام called ‘Nuh’?

Answer: Due to crying in the fear of Allah Almighty too often. (Siraat-ul-Jinaan, vol. 3, pp. 347)

Question 4: Whose title is Quraysh?

Answer: It is the title of Sayyiduna Fihr Bin Maalik, one of the ancestors of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰـە عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. (Seerat-e-Mustafa, pp. 51)
