Allaah SWT says in a hadeeth qudsi: “Whoever shows enmity to someone devoted to Me, I shall be at war with him. My slave draws noy near to Me with anything more beloved to Me than the religious duties I have enjoined on him, and My slave continues to draw near to Me with supererogatory works so that I shall love him. When I love him I am his hearing with which he hears, his seeing with which he sees, his hand with which he strikes and his foot with which he walks. Were he to ask something of Me, I would surely give it to him, and were he to ask Me for refuge, I would surely grant him it. I do not hesitate about anything so much as I hesitate about [seizing] the soul of My faithful slave: he hates death and I hate hurting him.”
(Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 6502).
The following are six benefits that a person gains by loving Allaah, in order of importance:
1- Allah becomes his hearing, i.e., he does not listen to anything except that which pleases Allaah.
2- Allaah becomes his seeing, i.e., he does not look at anything but that which pleases Allaah.
3- Allaah becomes his foot with which he walks, i.e., he does not walk for anything except that which is pleasing to Allaah,
4- Allaah becomes his hand with which he strikes, i.e., he does not take revenge for himself but rather for the sake of Allaah, so he does not do anything with his hand except that which pleases Allaah.
5- Allaah answers his du’aa’s
6- Allaah grants him refuge from everything that he dislikes.
So congratulation to those whom Allaah loves, to the close friends of Allaah, to the party of Allaah.
“They are the party of Allaah. Verily, it is the party of Allaah that will be the successful”
[al-Mujaadilah 58:22]
