Love for sake of Allah
Love for sake of Allah builds societies and nations
By Dr Muhammad Ali Al-Hashimi
Islam goes even further in spreading love in the rightly-guided Muslim society by telling the Muslim that if he loves his brother, he should tell him. The Prophet (saw) said:
?If a man loves his brother, let him tell him that he loves him.?
The Prophet (saw) understood the impact of this strong, pure love in building societies and nations, so he never let any occasion pass without advocating this love and commanding the Muslims to announce their love for one another, in order to open hearts and spread love and purity among the ranks of the Ummah.
Anas (radhiallah ?anhu) said that a man was with the Prophet (saw), when another man passed by. The first man said, ?O Messenger of Allah, indeed I truly love this man.?
The Prophet (saw) asked him, ?Have you let him know that?? He said, ?No.? The Prophet said, ?Tell him.? He caught up with him and told him, ?Truly I love you for the sake of Allah,? and the man said, ?May Allah love you who loves me for His sake.?
Mu?adh (radhiallah ?anhu) began to spread this pure love among the Muslims throughout the Muslim lands, telling them what he had heard from the Prophet (sallallaahu ?alaihi wa sallam) about the great reward that Allah had prepared for those who loved one another for His sake, and about His great love for them.
In al-Muwatta?, Imam Malik gives a report with a sahih isnad from Abu Idris al-Khulani who said: ?I entered the mosque of Damascus, where I saw a young man who had a bright smile, and I saw the people gathered around him. When they disagreed on some matter, they referred it to him, and accepted his opinion. I asked who he was, and they told me, ?This is Mu?adh ibn Jabal (radhiallah ?anhu).?
?Early the next day, I went to the mosque but I found that he had arrived even earlier than I. He was praying, so I waited until he had finished, then I approached him from in front, greeted him and said, ?By Allah I love you.? He said, ?For the sake of Allah?? I said, ?For the sake of Allah.? He repeated his question, ?For the sake of Allah?? and I said, ?For the sake of Allah.? So he took hold of my collar and pulled towards him and said, ?I have good news for you.
I heard the Prophet (saw) say: ?Allah Almighty says: ?My love is granted to those who love one another for My sake, who visit one another for My sake, and who spend on one another for My sake"
