The Quranic proof of Man's love for Allah:

 Dear brother, we are still pondering over the book of Riyadh Al-Saliheen which includes some Noble Ahadith of the Prophet, PBUH. Let's now move to the chapter of the signs of Allah's love for His servant, and the signs of the servant's love for Allah.
 Actually, it is easy to make a claim that you love Allah the Almighty, everyone does that. Furthermore, if you ask any Muslim on the surface of the earth, he/she will not hesitate for one moment that he/she loves Allah the Almighty, while in reality it is not real love, as the poet said:

All claim having close relation with Leila
While she denies all of that

 So the most important thing is to bring a proof of your love for Allah the Almighty.
 If a person says to you that he loves Allah while he obeys a human (in something that does not please Allah), and disobeys his Lord, he is definitely a liar, because if he really loves Allah, he will obey Him, as the poet said:

You disobey the Lord while you claim to love Him!
Such is indeed an amazing claim!
If your love were true, you would obey Him.
Verily, he who loves someone does obey him.

 Thus, whoever thinks that he/she loves Allah should ask him/herself: what is the proof of my love for Allah? The Strongest evidence which was stated in the Noble Qur'an is to adhere to the Sunnah of the Prophet, PBUH, Allah the Almighty says:

"Say (O Muhammad SAW to mankind): "If you (really) love Allah then follow me (i.e. accept Islamic Monotheism, follow the Quran and the Sunnah), Allah will love you and forgive you of your sins"

[Al-Imran, 3:31]

 So, following the Sunnah of His Noble Prophet is an indication of your love for Allah.

Indications from the Noble Qur'an:

 There are wonderful indications mentioned in the Noble Quran, Allah the Almighty says:

"But if they answer you not (i.e. do not believe in your doctrine of Islamic Monotheism, nor follow you), then know that they only follow their own lusts. And who is more astray than one who follows his own lusts"

[Al-Qasas, 28:50]

 The commentators of the noble Qur'an said that responding to the Messenger of Allah is exactly the same as responding to Allah the Almighty, so whoever follows the Sunnah of the Prophet definitely abides by Allah's Command, and the evidence of that is mentioned in the Noble Ayah bellow:

"But if they answer you not (i.e. do not believe in your doctrine of Islamic Monotheism, nor follow you), then know that they only follow their own lusts. And who is more astray than one who follows his own lusts"

[Al-Qasas, 28:50]

 And in another Noble Ayah, Allah the Almighty says:

"He who obeys the Messenger (Muhammad SAW), has indeed obeyed Allah"

[Al-Nisa, 4:80]

 Also, in the third Noble Ayah:

"But it is more fitting that they should please Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad SAW)"

[Al-Tawbah, 9: 62]

 Actually, the transliteration of "that they should please…" is (yurdoohu) by using the first person singular pronoun, which means: they should please (Him ) not (them), Allah the Almighty says:

"But it is more fitting that they should please Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad SAW)"

[Al-Tawbah, 9: 62]

 The rhetorical scholars said that: Allah used the first person singular pronoun (him) not (them) because pleasing the Messenger of Allah is exactly the same as pleasing Allah the Almighty and vice versa.

Pay close attention to this:

 Some poets described those who claim what they do not do saying:

They claimed swimming deep into the sea of fondness
Whereas they were dry and had not become wet

 Which means: someone claimed that he swam in the sea while he wasn’t wet, what a liar!. So the sign of your love for Allah is following the Sunnah of the Prophet, PBUH.
 Consider the example of someone who says: 'Allah is the Greatest', for a thousand times, while he disobeys his Creator, and obeys someone else, actually he has not said it not even for one time, because his obedience to a creature is more important than obeying Allah the Almighty. Thus he obeys a creature and disobeys The Creator.
 Also, consider the example of someone who deceives Muslims in the goods he is selling to them, and makes huge profits from that, what does that mean? It means that he prefers gaining ill-gotten gains through cheating Muslims to the obedience of Allah, so if he says "Allah is the Greatest" in Eid, it is as if he has not said it even if he repeats it for thousand times. This is also applied to the one who prefers fulfilling the illicit desire of his wife to the obedience of Allah the Almighty.

Do not care about the people of falsehood:

 You should accustom yourself - my brother – to give a proof whenever you make a claim, what is the proof of your love for Allah? How do you claim that, while your relations with sh3er are at the expense of your faith (which does not please Allah), you try to please the non-believers, actually this does not indicate your intelligence; there are always people who are against the believer and he declares his different opinion from them openly., Allah the Almighty says about the Prophets whose perfection was beyond comprehension:

"And so We have appointed for every Prophet enemies - Shayatin (devils) among mankind and jinns, inspiring one another with adorned speech as a delusion (or by way of deception)"

[Al-Anam, 6:112]

 There is always conflict between right and falsehood; it is an eternal thing, from ancient times since Adam until the Day of Resurrection, that there will be always a battle between truth and falsehood. Therefore, do not care about the people of falsehood, Allah the Almighty says:

"They will do you no harm, barring a trifling annoyance"

[Al-Imran, 3:111]

 Have you ever heard about such a thing?
 Now I want every one of you to answer me without compliment, consider the example of a man who turned his face to the sun, blew at it to extinguish it, where is the right place for him?  Definitely, the right place for him is a mental hospital! He turned toward the sun, took a deep breath, and breathed on the sun to extinguish it!, undoubtedly he is crazy, Allah the Almighty says:

"They intend to put out the Light of Allah (i.e. the religion of Islam, this Quran, and Prophet Muhammad SAW) with their mouths."

[Al-Saf, 61:8]

 They do not intent to put out the light of sun (like that mad man) but even the Light of Allah!, Allah the almighty says:

"But Allah will complete His Light even though the disbelievers hate (it)."

[As-saf, 61:8]

A false claim:

 When Man claims to love Allah, while he disobeys Him, then he is a lying, bluffing, and has no shame at all. As it was transmitted:

 (( O Son of Adam, obey your Lord then your called a wise, O Son of Adam, exhort yourself, if it responds then exhort sh3er, otherwise be ashamed from Me))
 Also, as a poet said:

For how long you will be distracted by desires,
while you are held accountable for what you committed?
For how long?
How shameful I’ll be, when Allah will ask me:
O My servant, have not you read My Book (the Noble Qur'an)?
Are not you ashamed from Us? Is not it enough committing sins?
Do not you dread My Blame when We will meet On the Last Day?
Is not it the time to abstain from sins and to turn to Us in repentance?
And to await your reward from Us?
For how long?!
When will you respond to the call of Allah?

 Out of fear for the retina, people followed the instructions in an amazing way, on the day when the eclipse took place, as you see no people in the street, furthermore, some parents tied their children with ropes, and closed windows (to protect them from harmful light)! What a wonderful thing! What happened really attracted our attention. Also, the state participated in that by putting ads in radio, television, newspapers, and roads: Do not look to the sun's disk during the eclipse, in order to preserve your retina, and to maintain the retina of your children.
Well, why do not you comply with the Command of the Great Creature, when he says to you in His Noble Qur'an:

"Tell the believing men to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts, etc.)"

[Al-Nur, 24:30]

 Why do not you care about your next life and your happiness? Why do people comply with the orders of human and never comply with the Order of Allah, the One and the Judge?

The vengeance of your Lord is severe:

 I am sure that you’ve heard the news of Serbs and Yugoslavia, how many months did the shelling last for? Approximately it was six months, on each day there was bombing, and there were three hundred, four hundred, or two hundred flights by the most advanced types of military aircraft. Would you believe if I told you that the destruction caused by that bombing was less than what happened in turkey during an earthquake which lasted for only forty-five seconds!!:

"Verily, (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) the Grip (Punishment) of your Lord is severe"

[Al-Buruj, 85:12]

 Despite the fact that the NATO is consisted of thirty countries, equipped with the most advanced weapons, the latest technology, satellites, computers, aircraft, laser ray, and the ability to shoot perfectly at their targets, despite all of that, the calamity caused by the NATO to Belgrade, was much less than what caused by that earthquake in Turkey; thirty-five thousand people were under the rubble, and eleven thousand homeless people…..etc.
 In this way, Our Lord the Almighty punishes the disobedient, it is a very beautiful (Muslim) country, which encourages tourism, which is powerful, which broadcasts sixteen pornographic satellite channels, which is endowed with fascinating nature, and which has signed a peace accord with Israel against Muslims.
 As the saying goes: "O Pharaoh, why were you so a tyrannical and a despotic ruler? He answered: because no one restrained me from that!"
 Then the punishment of Your Lord took place:

"Verily, (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) the Grip (Punishment) of your Lord is severe"

[Al-Buruj, 85:12]

"Verily, He it is Who begins (punishment) and repeats (punishment in the Hereafter) (or originates the creation of everything, and then repeats it on the Day of Resurrection)."

[Al-Buruj, 85:13]

Consider this TV interview:

 One of my brother in faith told me that he had watched a TV interview with a Turkish man who was speaking in Arabic, not fluently, he said: we had fought Islam, had prevented wearing Hijab (veil), had fought the Islamists, had signed an accord with the Jews, had deprived one woman member of the parliament from her citizenship because she was wearing Hijab, and we had made adultery legal, therefore we deserved that earthquake.

An invalid law:

 A month ago, a law was laid down in Turkey which prevents the husband from filing a suit against his wife if she commits adultery, that law allows woman to go wherever she wants, with whomever she wishes, on the basis of equality between men and women, so if a man may have mistresses, she may have lovers too, (therefore they deserved that earthquake):

"Verily, (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) the Grip (Punishment) of your Lord is severe"

[Al-Buruj, 85:12]

"Such is the Seizure of your Lord when He seizes the (population of) towns while they are doing wrong. Verily, His Seizure is painful, and severe."

[Hud, 11:102]

 Imagine how terrible that calamity was, thirty-five thousand people were under the rubble, with no hope for survival.

The news of an earthquake that hit Egypt:

 I heard the news of an earthquake which occurred in Egypt, the people (under the rubble) were obliged to drink their own urine, because they stayed there for four days without water, and one of them did not drink it so he died before his entire family, the building collapsed above them, they were terribly thirsty, and it was too hot.....
 Dear brother, no one is better than the sh3er (no one can escape from the punishment of Allah):

"And there is not a town (population) but We shall destroy it before the Day of Resurrection, or punish it with a severe torment. That is written in the Book (of our Decrees)"

[Al-Isra, 17:58]

Some of the tribulations of these days:

 Sometimes, you see a woman in the road, dressed up in a way that exposes all her beauty, I say to myself: Does not this woman have a father, a brother, a husband, or a son who prevents her from that? What do they say when they see her in such clothes? Actually, the cheaper the flesh of women is (when they expose their beauty), the more expensive the mutton becomes, and the less people fell shy (or what we called it in Arabic: the water of shines), the less the water of the sky is (the rain) which means the more we commit sins, the less our sustenance is.
There is no water nowadays, the wells are dried up, most cities now are supplied with water through tankers, danger threats crops, plants, and trees, and this glass of water (in front of me) which we drink becomes very valuable. Therefore, the one who washes his car with Al-Figeh’s water (which is the main source of drinkable water in Damascus), will be called to a severe account on the Day of Resurrection. Dear brother, we are lacking awareness of the value of water.
 The Prophet, PBUH, once did ablution (wudu) from a vessel then he took the leftovers and said to his companions:

((Return it back to the river, may Allah benefit other people from it))

 Maybe there were a well, a rivulet, or they were traveling, so the Prophet ordered it to be returned to the river, even if it was only a half glass of water.
 By the way, dear bsh3er, who has a dripping faucet in his house should fix it, and he will have a reward from Allah. I read an amazing statistic about the amount of wasted water out of neglecting that, because one drop, by the time, makes a great amount of water.

Your love for Allah without any proof is rejected:

 Dear brother, your love for Allah requires a practical evidence (requires obeying His Orders), otherwise your love is not accepted in the Sight of Allah, Allah the Almighty says:

"Say (O Muhammad Peace be upon him ), "Produce your proof if you are truthful."

[Al-Baqarah, 2:111]

 You should ask yourself: do I really love Allah? Have you ever done anything for His Sake, have you ever refrained from committing anything out of fear of Him? Have you ever given anything or abstain from anything out of your love for Him? Thus your love for Allah is not accepted without a proof of that, otherwise your claim of your love would be considered a mere nonsense.

A strange thing!!!:

 Once, a man, who has bought a satellite, starts staying up all night watching TV channels (that does not please Allah) till the dawn, as his wife said, he asked me once: I was praying in a mosque, then I noticed an impurity spot on the cloak of Imam (the one who leads Muslims in prayer), is my prayer correct? This is called nonsense!, I said to him: yes it is because the Imam is guarantor, even if he prays without wudu (and you do not know that), it is ok with you! That man is just like the one who swallows a bull and chocks on its tail!!!, he did not care about watching illicit channels with his family till dawn, yet, he got worried about a spot in the imam’s cloak, that it could be impure!! And he asked about his prayer was it correct or not, yes it is!

A joke:

 Once, a man was sentenced to death, on his way to the gallows, they discovered that he had committed a traffic violation earlier, they asked themselves: shall we forgive him for that traffic violation or not! He will be executed, and he will not be called to account in this life anymore….

"But the Mujrimun (criminals, disbelievers, polytheists, sinners, etc.) will not be questioned of their sins (because Allah knows them well, so they will be punished without account)."

[Al-Qasas, 28:78]

This man really fears Allah:

 Dear brother, consider the following single fact, the love for Allah requires a proof; what have you done, or what you have restrained from, out of your love for Allah?.
 Once, a man swore by Allah to me that, a man had given him twenty million pounds to invest it then he died at the same day, so he returned that amount of money to his heirs while they do not know anything about it for five years, because the debtor had not registered that, and no one asked him to return it. He heard an Islamic lecture about trust so he feared Allah and returned it. He said to me: by Allah, I have returned 20 million pounds to the heirs out of fear of Allah...

Ask yourself this question:

 You should ask yourself this question: What have you done for the sake of Allah? What have you left for His Sake? Verily, it is absolutely great to love Allah because love is the essence of Deen (Islamic religion).

sayyidina Omar, may Allah be pleased with him, said to the Prophet, PBUH: ((O Messenger of Allah! You are more beloved to me than my family, my children, all the people, and anything else except my own self)), the Messenger, PBUH said: "you have not had the complete and perfect faith yet" till he said: "By Allah, now you are more beloved to me than my own soul.” The Prophet said: "Now Omar (you have the perfect faith)".

Invocation:

 O Allah! We beseech You to show us the way of righteousness together with those to whom You showed it; and to give us good health together with those whom You have healed; and to be our Protector, as You are for those whom You protect; and to bless what You have bestowed on us; and to save us from the affliction that You have decreed –for You rule with justice and You are never judged; and he whom You protect shall never be humiliated and he whom You make Your enemy shall never be elevated.
