Signs of True Love for Prophet Muhammad ﷺ || short video

A sign of loving the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is to love his commands, his behaviour, his Sunna, the Quran, his words, and the dust of his city. Those who claim to love him but fail to offer daily prayers and observe fasts are untrue in this claim because obedience is a sign of love...

Although we have duties towards our parents, neighbours, and children, no one has more rights over us than our master, the final Prophet Muhammad صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم . Our duties towards him take precedence over all other duties. One such right is that we love and cherish him more than anything and anyone else. His love is the foundation of faith and the golden key to Allah’s pleasure. The faithful, recognising this essential truth, embrace this love and submit to its dictates. However, claiming to love him and actually loving him are two very distinct matters. As with all states and feelings, love for the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is not without signs, hallmarks, and vivid impacts that can be seen in the person who really loves him.

A sign of faith for a true believer is that he loves and respects the Messenger of Allah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم more than everyone and everything. He gives precedence to fulfilling the rights of the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم . Likewise, the believer observes the teachings of Islam, adopts the Sunna, and reveres the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم . He gives priority to pleasing the Messenger of Allah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم over his family, parents, relatives, and wealth. He prefers losing his life to breaching the rights of Allah’s beloved صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم .[1]
