Love Allah
When I was younger, I always felt
like I was the odd one out. A misfit. People who I wanted to be friends with
would not always be as friendly with me. Sometimes I would become the victim of
bullying. Other times I was deliberately ignored. These feelings continued as I
grew older and it hurt my self confidence. I became a shy and withdrawn person,
very insecure. I knew this was not good for my personal and professional life.
I went to therapists and counselors but I could not overcome it. Then one day
as I was watching TV, I came across the Arrahman Arraheem Network Channel. It
was a program about a disabled woman. I was amazed at how confidently she lived
her life even though she could only move one finger. Her statement when asked
about her positive attitude was,"Because I love Allah...." I realized
what I was missing all my life. I did not know Allah so how could I love Allah.
If I wanted to love Allah I had to get to know who He was. What He expected
from me. So I contacted Arrahman Arraheem Network Channel. I asked them what I
had to do to learn how to love Allah. They invited me to their daily Quran
class and there I began to learn how to love Allah.
How to love Allah
First of all the teacher #Babar
Chaudhry said that if I wanted to love Allah I had to realize all that Allah
had provided for me. From the air I breathed to the life He had given me. To
love Allah I had to acknowledge that everything He created in this world was
for my use, my benefit.
Secondly, in order to love Allah I
had to be thankful for all that He had blessed me with. Food, my health, my
relationships, my education. A roof over my head. A secure job. When I learned
be thankful to Allah, only then could I truly love Allah.
Thirdly, in order to love Allah I
needed to have acceptance of my life situation. If I was unhappy with my life I
could never truly love Allah. Because to love Allah means to accept what He has
given you. To always be happy and satisfied with it. Whether you want it or
not, whether it meets your expectations or not.
Lastly, to love Allah I must learn
follow the instructions that Allah has given us in the Holy Quran. I must learn
to follow the Sunnah of our Holy Prophet (PBUH). Not just the 5 pillars of
Islam but every little aspect of my life and my character. How to balance my
emotions. What my priorities in life should be. How to dress and behave as a
Muslim etc. If I happily submitted myself to Allah's will, not only would I
learn to love Allah but I would also receive Allah's love in return. And there
is no greater treasure in the love than to love Allah and to receive Allah's
love in return.
For a happy and satisfied life -
love Allah
Once I learnt what I must do to love
Allah, my life became much better. Because I knew how to love Allah, I was more
confident about myself. I was happier with my life and with my job. My
relationships with people improved and I made more friends
