4 sure ways to develop love of Allah
9-29-2020
I wish to present several effective ways to develop love for Allah Most High . To attain this love a few important points need to be adhered to:
-
Allocate a specific time to reflect upon the great blessings and bounties of Allah Most High . Along with this closely study one’s shortcomings and ponder: “If I was to have opposed a world leader in such a manner, what would have been my outcome ? How disgraced would I have been in his eyes?” But Allah Most High, despite my rebellious actions has not put a stop to his shower of blessings upon me .
-
Bring in to practice all Sharia commandments related to one’s external life, despite experiencing an absence of inclination . Experience shows that good deeds possess the quality of creating love for them. Though in the beginning stages there may be no apparent love, love will gradually be created . Like a magnet has no effect on iron lying at a distance, but no sooner it is brought close, the magnet automatically pulls it to belt. Deeds too have a “magnetic” effect .
-
On a daily basis, set some time aside for zikr (remembrance of Allah Most High), though it maybe for a short while. This zikr should be made in seclusion with a bit of concentration .
-
Join the company of the pious and friends of Allah Most High. Insha Allah through their company the love for the world will soon be reduced . In essence this is the way to recognize the friends of Allah Most High – i.e. in their company one finds a decrease in worldly love and an increase in the love for Allah Most High .
Allah willing, if the above mentioned four points are brought in to practice, I can say with assertion that within forty days the love for Allah Most High will definitely be created within the heart – further who am I to give assurance, rather it is upon the Qur’an and ahadeeth that I am basing my claim and not something fabricated by myself.
And success is only through Allah.
