the skies, saying: Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ loves so and so and you also love him, and then those on skies also love him and popularity is granted to him on the earth. (Sahih Muslim, pp. 1417, Hadees 1637/157)

Sayyiduna ‘Umar Farooq-e-A’zam رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ narrated: The Renowned and Revered Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said: On the Day of Judgement, there will be some people who will neither be Ambiya nor martyrs but even Ambiya عَـلَيْـهِمُ الـصَّلٰوة ُ وَالـسَّلَام and martyrs will envy them seeing their status. People humbly asked, ‘O Rasoolallah صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! Who will be these people?’ The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم replied: They are the people who will have been loving each other due to the love of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ though they will not be the relatives of one another nor will there be any financial deal between them. By Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ! On the Day of Judgement, their faces will be Noor and surely they will be on Noor. They will be fearless when people will be fearful, and they will have no grief when people will have grief. (Mishkat, Hadees 5012)

Dear Islamic brothers! Have you heard the great eminence and dignity granted to the blessed saints رَحِمَهُمُ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَالٰی by Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. On the Day of Judgement when there will be a state of utter selfishness people will be worried but the blessed saints of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ have no sorrow and agitation but rather they will be warmly welcomed; what could be more greatness of blessed saints رَحِمَهُمُ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَالٰی than this that Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ will lay the pulpits for them made of Noor and will make them sit on them and this is a fact that whoever spends every moment of his life in virtuous deeds, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ will not only grant them honour in this world but also bestow upon them respect and dignity on the Day of Judgement, and these are the very people who are loved by Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ due to their virtuous deeds and Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ grants them His special closeness.

The Beloved and Blessed Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated: Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has said, ‘None of my bondmen has sought closeness to Me with any better act than carrying out the Faraaid [obligatory acts] and he continues to gain closeness to Me by means of Nawafil [supererogatory Salah], until I start to love him. When I make the bondman My beloved, I become his ears through which he hears, I become his eyes by which he sees, I become his hands through which he holds and I become his legs through which he walks. Then if he begs Me, I grant him surely, and if he seeks My protection, I grant him protection surely.’ (Sahih Bukhari, vol. 4, pp. 248, Hadees 6502)
