What is True Love? Lessons from the Lives of the Sahabah

Most of us have wrong concept about love and this question often arises that What is love? What is true love ??what is pure love and how we can come to know that the love of a person for another person is true*

HERE IS THE ANSWER

  L O V E

  • It was Ali, when he lay in bed replacing the Prophet ﷺ on the Prophet ﷺ ‘s bed, even though he knew that a group of people had gathered to kill the Prophet, he also knew that he might have died on the same bed.
  • It was Bilal, when he no longer proclaimed the call to prayer after the Prophet ﷺ had passed away, then when Bilal echoed the call to prayer again at the request of ‘Umar at the conquest of Baitul Maqdis. there was never so much crying seen before, when Bilal said “Ash hadu anna Muhammadar Rasulullaah”
  • Abu Bakr said: “When we emigrated, I was surprised by the appearance of milk mixed with water, then I gave the milk to the Messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, and I said:” Drink O Messenger of Allah ” Abu Bakr said: “Then the Messenger of Allah drank so that I lost my thirst” (Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam who drank, Abu Bakr lost his thirst)
  • It was Zubair who heard the news of the killing of the ﷺProphet, then he came out dragging his sword in the streets of Mecca, even though he was only 15 years old. So that his sword became the first sword unsheathed in Islamic history
  • It was Rabi’ah bin Ka’b when the Messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam asked him “what do you need?” Rabi’ah also replied: “I request that I can accompany you in heaven”
  • It was Tsauban when the Messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam asked him: “What made the color of (your face) change?” Then Tsauban replied: “I am not sick and injured, it’s just that if I don’t see you I will be very longing for loneliness until I meet you”
  • It was when Abu Bakr As-Siddiq said to the Messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam before entering the cave (Tsur): “By Allah, do not enter until I enter first, if there is something in this cave then I am the one affected not you”
  • It was Abu Bakr who wept over Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam when there were signs that his nearness was near, then the Messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam calmed him: “Don’t cry! If only I could make someone a lover from a human group, I would make Abu Bakr my lover. “

This is love for the sake of Allah .”Who loves and hates because of Allah…. befriends and hates because of Allah, in fact Allah’s help is obtained thus.

A servant will not be able to feel the pleasure of faith even though many do prayer and fasting until he does so.

Indeed, most one’s friendship is based solely on the interests of the world. Such friendship is not beneficial for them. (narrated by ibn jarir mentioned in the book Tauhid Syaikh Muhammad At Tamimi)

THESE ARE THE BEST EXAMPLE OF TRUE LOVE

AND WE PEOPLE CLAIM THAT WE LOVE ONE ANOTHER ,, WE LOVE ALLAH AND HIS PROPHET

think about it and see where you lie

May Allah subhanawatala grant us the love of him and His prophet Muhammad صلی اللّه علیه وسلم Aameen
