Virtue Is Only for Who Love Him ﷺ

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm

Shukr to Allāh ﷻ, we are in this blessed month; the blessed month in which our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam was born. Its blessed name is Rabi’ul-Awwal. Rabi’ means spring. It is a beautiful season.

Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla has granted our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam every beauty. He ﷻ has given him ﷺ the most virtue. He who follows his ﷺ way will attain every beauty and attain every goodness.

He who loves him ﷺ will gain the love of Allāh ﷻ. He who does not love him ﷺ will be deprived and far away from the love of Allāh ﷻ.

Shayṭān is the first and the greatest enemy of our ‎Prophet ﷺ. He deceives people as much as he can and wants them to side with him. From the moment our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam was born, he ﷺ was calling “Ummatī”. He ﷺ made every sacrifice for people to save them.

Shukr to Allāh ﷻ, those who are from his ﷺ ummah and those who love him ﷺ will attain Allāh’s ﷻ mercy and grace.

Others, those who oppose him ﷺ, those whom Allah ﷻ does not love, whom Allah ﷻ does not want—what we mean by “He ﷻ does not love” is that Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla hasn’t granted them goodness. They too have been deprived of this virtue.

The virtue is only for those who follow the Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam and love him ﷺ.

But of course, there are those who are on the way of Islām and are deceived by shayṭān. They do not respect our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. They do not honor him ﷺ, and they are even jealous of him ﷺ. May Allāh ﷻ protect us from the evil of shayṭān and his traps.

His traps such as those who say, “I read the Qur’an, I pray,” but forget or don’t accept the most important thing: the intercession and love of our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. They don’t accept it. Those who accept it will attain it.

May Allāh ﷻ make us among those who accept it. May He ﷻ keep us steadfast, in shā’a Llāh, all of us on this way, in shā’a Llāh.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq.

Al-Fatiha.
