Hadith No. 15 – Sahih al-Bukhari

Salam,

Bismillah.

Delight: a high degree of pleasure or enjoyment.

It’s not easy to achieve. It’s not impossible either.

Volume 1, Book 2, Number 15:

Narrated Anas:

The Prophet (SAW) said, “Whoever possesses the following three qualities will have the sweetness (delight) of faith:

1. The one to whom Allah and His Apostle becomes dearer than anything else.

2. Who loves a person and he loves him only for Allah’s sake.

3. Who hates to revert to Atheism (disbelief) as he hates to be thrown into the fire.”

Loving people for Allah’s sake. A lot comes under this topic, but this is the crux of the matter: this kind of love increases your love for Allah.

I only want to quote Zain Bhikha at this point..

This life is a trial, can never the let the test effect your smile

Reach for your brother, go the extra mile

Kiss for ya mother, hug your sister, let your wife know that you miss her

Know that you can never give up

When you fall to the floor, I’m the reason you must get up

LOVE

I’m a blessing from God, so why you don’t use me more is so odd

You need love! We need love!

Listen here.

Wassalam.
