Make your desires subservient to that which Allah has brought


237
Anas and Abu Hurayrah, (may Allah be pleased with both of them) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "None of you will attain perfect faith until I am more beloved to him than his child, his parent, and all people."


Explanation:


The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informs us in this Hadīth that the faith of any Muslim is not complete and he will not attain the type of faith that will admit him into Paradise without punishment until he gives the love of the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) precedence over the love of his children, parents and all people. This is because the love of the Messenger of Allah means the love of Allah, since the Messenger is the one conveying from Allah and the one who guides people to the religion of Allah. Love of Allah and His Messenger is not valid except by obeying the commands of Shariah and abandoning its prohibitions, and not by reciting poems, holding celebrations, or composing songs in this regard.
