Love For the Sake of Allah

I love you. What does that mean? I love you because you are my family, I love you because you are beautiful, or I love you because you help me out? How many people actually love simply for the sake of Allah?

Love for the sake of Allah brings rewards your mind can’t even grasp, but unfortunately it has become a a lost trait among many Muslims. So let’s find out what it means to love someone for the sake of Allah and get motivated by a selection of amazing ahadeeth to start loving others in this blessed way inshaa’Allah!

In this week’s central ayah Allah says about the brotherly love of the people of the Ansaar: . . . And those who, before them, had homes (in Al-Madinah) and had adopted the Faith, – love those who emigrate to them . . . [Quran, 59:9]

What does “loving for the sake of Allah” really mean?

Loving someone for the sake of Allah comes in two ways: in your heart and with your deeds. You love someone for the sake of Allah in your heart because of their position with Allah, and this starts with loving the prophets and messengers and everyone who follows them. You should have this love in your heart for other Muslims. Outwardly means that you support that person in the good deeds they do, and you respect and defend them according to their good deeds.

This means you don’t love them because you know them very well, or because they brought you a direct benefit or because they have a nice appearance: you love and support them because of their efforts to please Allah!

4 huge rewards to gain

1. Taste the sweetness of faith.

To start with an invaluable reward in this world, the Prophet sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam said: There are three qualities whoever has them, will taste the sweetness of emaan: to love Allah and His Messenger more than anyone else; to love a slave (of Allah) only for (the sake of) Allah; and to abhor returning to infidelity after Allah has saved him from it as he would abhor to be thrown into the fire (of Hell). [Al-Bukhari, Muslim] We have to realize that of everything you can have in this world, a taste of the sweetness of emaan is the most precious.

2. Enjoy the shade of Allah.

Moving to the Day of Judgement, the Prophet said that Allah will ask on this day: Where are those who loved each other for the sake of My glory? Today, on a day when there is no shade but Mine, I shall shade them with My shade. [Muslim] You will only understand your intense need of this shade, when you are there and by just loving someone for the sake of Allah you can work for it now!

3. The Prophets and martyrs will envy you.

The Messenger of Allah said: Allah, the Exalted, has said: For those who love one another for the sake of My Glory, there will be seats of light (on the Day of Resurrection), and they will be envied by the Prophets and martyrs. [At-Tirmidhee] Imagine yourself sitting on seats of light and the best of the best envying you because you made it a priority to love others for the sake of Allah!

4. You will have a high rank with Him.

The Prophet said: A man set out to visit a brother (in faith) in another town and Allah sent an angel on his way. When the man met the angel, the latter asked him: Where do you intend to go? He said: I intend to visit my brother in this town. The angel said: Have you done any favour to him? He said: No, I have no desire except to visit him because I love him for the sake of Allah, the Exalted, and Glorious. Thereupon the angel said: I am a messenger to you from Allah (to inform you) that Allah loves you as you love him (for His sake).[Muslim] Isn’t this breath taking? By loving someone for the sake of Allah, you gain the love of the Highest and which love is better than His?

How to love someone for the sake of Allah

1. Be patient with others and strive for a clean heart. In your relationship with other believers don’t try to seek the negative side of each word or gesture, be fast in accepting apologies and don’t be selfish. A common issue is the more ‘religious’ some people get, their hatred for others increases. Try to seek the good side in others and always try to find a good explanation or interpretation of certain behaviour or the speech of the other.

2. Be a person on whom others can rely in times of need. The Prophet said: The believers, in their mutual friendship, mercy and affection, are like one body: if any part of it complains, the rest of the body will also stay awake in pain. [ Al-Bukhari, Muslim ] You might know this hadith, but try to truly reflect on it. Do you truly feel the pain of other believers, does it affect you? As this is a sign of your actual love for another!

There was an example of a man who loaned his friend money and walked back home crying. When his wife asked him why he was crying and if it was because he needed the money himself he said: No I am crying at my brother in faith’s state of affairs. How could I not have known what he was going through? If I had, I would have offered my help before he was compelled to ask for it.

He was crying because he had seen his friend sighing, and even though he had seen something was wrong, he had never bothered to ask. This brother was crying because he hadn’t been there to prevent his brother in Islam from going through the pain of having to ask for a loan.

3. Tell others you love them for Allah’s sake.

The Prophet salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said: If any of you loves his brother then he should inform him. [At-Tirmidhee]

Action point: revive the sunnah by telling the ones you love for His sake by saying:

أحبك في الله – Uhibbuka fil-llaahi ( or to a female: uhibukki fil-llaahi), which means: I love you for the sake of Allah.

The plural is: أحبكم في الله – Uhibbukum fil-llaahi ( to a group of men or a mix of men and women) or أحبكنّ في الله – Uhibbukunna fil-llaahi (to a group women).

When someone tells you they love you for the sake of Allah, you can respond by: أَحَبَّكَ الَّذِي أَحْبَبْتَنِي لَهُ – Ahabbak-alladhee ahbabtanee lah (for a male) or Ahabakk-illadhee ahhabtinee lah (for a female), which means: may the One for whom you have loved me, love you, in return. [ Above phrases as narrated in Abu Dawood]

So let’s ask Allah ‘azza wa jall to help you love others for His sake and get into action now: call or send a message and say the above to someone you love for the sake of Allah.

And I start with you all, for your eagerness to read about Islam and learn to understand the Quran: Uhibbukum fil-llaah – I love you for the sake of Allah!

Praying you will benefit,

Khawlah bint Yahya.

Even on your worst days , when your Iman is low, you have to fear Allah. Low Iman isn’t an excuse to openly sin. We must still obey Allah and His Messenger ‎ﷺ.

May Allah make it easy for us to fear Him and obey Him when our Iman is low. آمين

not to pry but you say you left islam? could you talk more about it like what brought you back to it? is it something people in your life know? totally understand if it’s a touchy subject but i just am curious!

Not prying at all! Yes I did - I would say from last 2019 to middle of 2022 I had completely internally revoked the idea of Islam & religion all together. It was a culmination of many things that brought me to that point of denouncing it. However what brought me back was my eldest sister and her husband (my brother-in law)

I had wrote my college essay on this - this idea of converting into the faith that I was born into. My sister and brother in law (yeah we’re abbreviating this lol) hijacked me after school, cornered me into the backseat of their car, and the next thing I knew I was in the masjid basement with 4 others and being thanked for joining the masjid youth event team. Youth here being anyone from 11-25. But yeah … Genuinely that is exactly how it happened. My BIL did compensate after by taking me out for icecream I will give him that.

Over the next two years slowly by slowly I felt the threads of my Iman tighten into an unyielding rope. I think what brought me back was finding my place in this ummah, experiencing what it means to be apart of something larger than myself, and relearning what Ibadah is and what the religion is all together. I was always so hyper focused on this fear of Allah that I completely neglected the love I should have for Him as well.

I actually have a draft talking about this!!!!! I’ll share it in hopes you see it, it goes into the main concept that really started this shift in mindset and is one of the things that propelled to look into the religion again!

But yeah, I truly am forever indebted to my sister and BIL. They bestowed upon me so so so so much ilm, tarbiya, and LOVE that it only helped me grow as a Muslim and as a person. They have saved me and so many other youth in my community and may Allah SWT reward them immensely for it and keep them on this path and to make it easier on them.

Summer of 2022 I had this very open conversation with my BIL after a very pivotal moment in my life and in my relationship with God. And I think that conversation is when everything started clicking full speed. I don’t make it a point to tell people however if it comes up it comes up you know! Close friends know, my sisters, people like that. Sometimes if I’m having a conversation with someone in the context as being a youth worker and I think part of my story might be beneficial I’ll share it. Things like that!

#thanks for the ask #I hope this is what you were looking for #I’ll find the draft rn and post it!#about the concept of loving people for the sake of Allah SWT #hope you see it!#I think you’d like it hopefully lmao #bea speaks #reconnecting with allah

You never know what someone else is going through, just because they look or seem fine on the outside doesn't mean that's how they feel inside. Shaytain whispers to EVERYONE causing doubts, self esteem issues for some, illicit thoughts for others, depression for others, anxiety for others, compulsive behavior for others, even thoughts of harming themselves. ALWAYS MAKE DUAA AGAINST THESE THINGS FOR YOURSELF AND YOUR CHILDREN. May Allah protect myself, my children, my husband, my family, friends and companions from the whispers of Shaytain that cause depression, self hate, illicit thoughts, suicidal thoughts, anxiety, and anything else that will cause us to doubt or question his decree Allahumma Ameen 🤲🏼
