THE TIME IS NOW...
If you are ever going to love
Love me now while I can know
The sweet and tender feelings
Which from true affection flow
Love me now while I am living
Do not wait until I am gone
And then have it chiseled in marble
Sweet words on ice cold stone
If you have tender thoughts of me
Please let me know now
If you wait until I am sleeping
There will be death between us
And I won't hear you then
So if you love me, even a little bit
Let me know while I am living
So that I can treasure it
"I LOVE YOU"
for the sake of Allah Insha'Allah
Love for the Sake of Allah (SWT)
One of the best distinguishing
features of the
true Muslim is
his love for his friends and brothers in faith, a love that
isn't taken by worldly interest or motives; A TRUE LOVE, whose
purity is from the light of Islamic Guidance ; A Love for
the sake of Allah.
The Messenger of God (PBUH) has been
reported to have said:
"There are three things that
whoever attains them will find the sweetness of faith: If Allah
and His Messenger are dearer to him
than anyone else; if he
loves a person solely for the sake of Allah; and if he would
hate to return to kufr
after Allah has rescued him from it, as much as he would hate
to be thrown into fire." [Agreed upon]
~Love
between people~

THE PROPHET (SAW) SAID:
"NO TWO MEN LOVE ONE ANOTHER , BUT THE
BETTER OF THEM IS THE ONE WHOSE LOVE FOR HIS BROTHER IS
GREATER" [AL-BUKHARI IN AL-ADAB AL-MUFRAD]
* THE
PROPHET (SAW) SAID:
" IF A
MAN LOVES HIS BROTHER, LET HIM TELL HIM THAT HE LOVES HIM"
[Abu Dawud and al-Tirmidhi, who said it is a
sahih hadith]
* THE
PROPHET (SAWS) WAS REPORTED TO HAVE SAID:
" BY THE ONE
IN WHOSE HAND IS MY SOUL, YOU WILL NOT ENTER PARADISE UNTIL YOU
BELIEVE, AND YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE UNTIL YOU LOVE ONE ANOTHER.
SHALL I NOT TELL YOU OF SOMETHING THAT IF YOU DO IT, YOU WILL
LOVE ONE ANOTHER? SPREAD SALAAM AMONGST YOURSELVES."
[MUSLIM}
* THE
PROPHET (SAWS) WAS REPORTED TO HAVE SAID:
"THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BELIEVERS IS
LIKE A WALL, PARTS OF WHICH SUPPORT OTHER PARTS"
[MUSLIM]
A MUSLIM DOES NOT FORSAKE OR ABANDON
HIS BROTHER
~The
Prophet (SAW)said:
" NO TWO PEOPLE WHO LOVE ONE
ANOTHER FOR THE SAKE OF ALLAH, OR FOR THE SAKE OF ISLAM, WILL
LET THE FIRST MINOR OFFENCE OF EITHER OF THEM COME BETWEEN
THEM" [BUKHARI]
~The
Prophet also has been reported to have said:
IT IS NOT PERMISSIBLE FOR A
MUSLIM TO BE ESTRANGED FROM HIS BROTHER FOR MORE THAN THREE
DAYS, BOTH OF THEM TURNING AWAY FROM ONE ANOTHER WHEN THEY
MEET. THE BETTER OF THEM IS THE ONE WHO IS FIRST TO GREET THE
OTHER" [BUKHARI AND MUSLIM]
~The
Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
"Whoever is
estranged from his brother for a year, it is as if he has shed
blood"
{BUKHARI}
~Prophet
Muhammad also has been reported to have said:
"There should be no
breaking off of ties, no turning away from one another, no
hating one another, and no envying one another. Be brothers, as
Allah has commanded you"
[MUSLIM}
"The Believers are but a
single brotherhood."
[Surat al-Hujurat 49:10]
