Loves Allah and His Messenger Exceed Ourselves
والذين آمنوا أشد حبا لله"... Those who believe Heavily love to God." (QS. Al-Baqarah [2]: 165)Characteristics of a believer is to love God and His Messenger exceed father, son, brother, wife, family, wealth, business, and their houses:قل إن كان ءابآؤكم وأبنآؤكم وإخونكم وأزوجكم وعشيرتكم وأمول ٱقترفتموها وتجرة تخشون كسادها ومسكن ترضونهآ أحب إليكم من ٱلله ورسوله وجهاد فى سبيله فتربصوا حتى يأتى ٱلله بأمره وٱلله لا يهدى ٱلقوم ٱلفسقين"Say:" If fathers, children, brothers, wives, relatives, wealth which you try, commerce you khawatiri losses, and dwellings you love, is more you love God and His Messenger and strive in the way of his, then wait until Allah brings about His decision. "and Allah does not guide the wicked people. "[At Tawbah 9:24]The believers are willing to sacrifice their wealth and their lives for the sake of Allah and His Messenger:ما كان لأهل ٱلمدينة ومن حولهم من ٱلأعراب أن يتخلفوا عن رسول ٱلله ولا يرغبوا بأنفسهم عن نفسه ذلك بأنهم لا يصيبهم ظمأ ولا نصب ولا مخمصة فى سبيل ٱلله ولا يطون موطئا يغيظ ٱلكفار ولا ينالون من عدو نيلا إلا كتب لهم به عمل صلح إن ٱلله لا يضيع أجر ٱلمحسنين"It is not fitting for the people of Medina and the Arabs Badwi who dwell around them, did not accompany the Prophet (fight) and inappropriate (too) for those more love themselves rather than to love themselves Apostles. That is because they are not overwritten thirst, exhaustion and hunger in the way of Allah, and not (also) stepped on a place that raise the ire of the unbelievers, and not inflict something catastrophic to the enemy, but dituliskanlah for those with such a good deeds. Allah does not waste the reward of those who do good "[At Tawbah 9: 120]يأيها ٱلذين ءامنوا من يرتد منكم عن دينه فسوف يأتى ٱلله بقوم يحبهم ويحبونه أذلة على ٱلمؤمنين أعزة على ٱلكفرين يجهدون فى سبيل ٱلله ولا يخافون لومة لآئم ذلك فضل ٱلله يؤتيه من يشآء وٱلله وسع عليم"O ye who believe, whoever among you turn back from his religion, soon Allah will bring a people whom He will love them and they love Him, that being gentle to the believers, the mighty against the disbelievers, that is jihad in the path of God, and who are not afraid to censure those who scold. That is the gift of God, given to whom He wills, and Allah is the area (his gift), the Knower. "[Al-Maa-idah 5:54]Imam Bukhari narrated from Anas that a man of the villagers came to the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam saying: "O Messenger of Allah, when the Day of Judgment will happen?" He replied: "Woe to you, what have you prepared?" The man said; "I did not prepare lunch unless I just love Allah and His Messenger." He said: "If so, you're with people you love."Hadith Anas, he said:Prophet. He said: There are three things that whoever practice it, then he can find the sweetness of faith, the person who loves Allah and His Messenger than others, love others only because of God, not like back into kufr (after God saved him) as he did not like thrown into hell. (Saheeh Muslim # 60)Hadith Anas bin Malik, he said:Prophet. said: A servant (in the Hadith Abdul Warits, a man) do not believe in before I was more beloved than his family, his property and everyone. (Saheeh Muslim # 62)ٱلنبى أولى بٱلمؤمنين من أنفسهم وأزوجه أمهتهم"The Prophet's (should be) more important for believers than themselves, and his wives are their mothers ..." [Al Ahzab 33: 6]In the end, the love of Allah and His Messenger made us love others like Mother, Father, Teacher, those who believe, even their fellow human beings.Love for Allah and His Messenger above the other allows us to go to war at the expense of treasure and our souls.Conversely, if there are people with a reason to love Allah and His Messenger on top of another, and then to a neighbor he does not love even to the mother and her children, then it is also wrong.Hadith Jarir ibn Abdullah ra. he said: Messenger of Allah. He said: He who does not love people, then God will not love her. (Saheeh Muslim, No.4283)Hadith narrated by Abu Hurairah .: That Aqra` bin Habis never seen the Prophet. kissing Hasan. He (bin Aqra` Out) and said: Lo! I have ten children but I have never kissed any of them. Then the Prophet. He said: Surely he who does not love then he will not be loved. (Saheeh Muslim, No.4282)As a child of the Prophet's grandson Hussain. bertaya to his father, Hadrat Ali: "Have you loved God?" Ali replied, "Yes". Then Husain asked again: "Is the father loved grandfather of the mother?" Ali again answered, "Yes". Husain asked again: "Is the father loved my mother?" Again Ali replied, "Yes". Husain small to ask: "Have you love me?" Ali replied, "Yes". The last innocent Husain asked, "My father, how do you unite so much love in your heart?" Then Hadrat Ali explains: "My son, your question is really great! My love to snicker from the mother (the Prophet.), Mother (Fatimah ra) and to you alone is because they love to God ". Because virtually all the love that the branches of the love of Allah. After hearing the answer from his father that Husain was smiling understand.How we can love God and His Messenger exceed others including ourselves?Difficult indeed.Generally people that love themselves. If he loves another, it's because of two things. Firstly the others it gave goodness, pleasure or satisfaction in itself. The second is for others it is a cause or an intermediary on things that give goodness, pleasure or satisfaction in itself. For example, humans love the food because it gives satisfaction to him. He also likes the money with it, he can get food.So that we can love God, we must believe that God gave a lot of kindness, joy, and contentment in ourselves. God who created us. God created two arms, two legs, eyes and our mouths.والله أخرجكم من بطون أمهاتكم لا تعلمون شيئا وجعل لكم السمع والأبصار والأفئدة لعلكم تشكرون"And God brought you from your mother's belly in a state of not knowing anything, and He gave you hearing and sight and hearts, that ye may be grateful." (QS. An-Nahl: 78)"It is He Who has created for you all, hearing, sight and hearts. Amat sedikitlah ye thankful "[Al Mu'minuun 78]When we love our mothers, our wives, and our children, remember God who created them all. Without God, they would not be with us. Therefore we should love God beyond them.Allah has created all of us. Ourselves, our families, our friends, the earth, the sky, and all its contents. God favors we receive will not be solved."And if you tried to number Allah's blessings, you could never count them. Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful. "[An-Nahl 18]Loved the wisdom of God on the otherIf we love but God surpass the love of God, will only make us sad. Because besides Allah is ephemeral. Will perish. If not we are leaving, they are leaving us. Many people are frustrated, depressed, and desperate for more loving than God.If we would love ourselves, we will always be wary because we'll be old, poor, weak, and eventually died.If we are more loving mothers, fathers, wives, children, lovers, and so rather than God, then if they died, our hearts will be broken. Our lives can be hollow.But if we love God, know that God is eternal. He will always be with us in this world and in the hereafter. God willing, if we love God more than the others, we do not worry or be sad because God is with us."Remember, the true guardians of Allah, no fear come upon them and not (also) they grieve.
