Hubbe-Ilaahi

We show our Hubb or our love for Allah Ta’ala by following the Shari’ah.

The Shari’ah was presented in theoretical form in the Qur’an-e-Kareem. Its practical form is the Sunnah and the Uswah (model) of Nabi (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam). Therefore, a person shows his love to Allah Ta’ala by living his life according to the Qur'aan-e-Kareem and following the principles of Nabi (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam). In return, Allah Ta’ala grants him His help, his support and protection that are essential for a peaceful and pleasant life. Without support from Allah Ta’ala, life is a hell, full of difficulties and suffering. On the other hand, living in the obedience of Allah Ta’ala gives us the taste and the charm to live. Allah Ta’ala and His Deen must always be supreme. In this way, we will be fortunate forever. However, if we make Allah Ta’ala and his Deen secondary, we will lose on all fronts. That is, we will lose Allah Ta’ala and eventually, we will also lose the thing that had made us turn our back to Allah Ta’ala. Thus, when we have Allah Ta’ala, we will have everything without having anything material. And without Allah Ta’ala, we will lose everything despite being surrounded by everything.
