Love Him More than Yourself

THE DAILY SUNNAH


Reading Time: 1 min

None of you will have faith till he loves me more than his father, his children and all mankind.

Loving the Prophet ﷺ goes beyond just admiring his physical beauty or his eloquent words.
 
It goes beyond just appreciating his miracles or his profound wisdom.

It is about recognizing his role as the chosen messenger of Allah, the one who was sent as a mercy to all of creation.

When you love the Prophet ﷺ, you understand that he is the vehicle through which Allah communicates His message to humanity. He is the connection to Allah at the deepest level. He embodies what it means to be a true servant of Allah. And by loving and connecting with the Prophet ﷺ, you can strengthen your relationship with Allah.

But how do you develop this love for the Prophet ﷺ?

It starts with believing in the Prophet just as the companions did. They believed in him, emulated him, and followed him devotedly. And while we may not have had the opportunity to see him, we can still develop a deep love for him.

When you read about the Prophet ﷺ and his life, what is it that moves you?

What brings tears to your eyes or fills your heart with joy?

Is it his unwavering dedication to his mission?

Is it his love and mercy towards all of creation?

Is it his impeccable character and the way he treated others?

Whatever it may be, that is what you should focus on and strive to connect with. Embrace his teachings, his actions, and his character. Strive to incorporate them into your own life. And in doing so, you will find yourself growing closer to him and developing a love for him that transcends time and space.

It is important to remember that loving the Prophet ﷺ does not mean worshipping him. We do not make dua through the Prophet ﷺ, but he is the one who taught us how to connect with Allah. He is the one who showed us how to perfect our character and how to navigate through life.

And as you strive to connect with the Prophet ﷺ, you will find that your love for him is intertwined with your love for Allah. The more you love and connect with the Prophet ﷺ, the more you will love and connect with Allah. And the more you love and connect with Allah, the more you will love and connect with the Prophet ﷺ.

Strive to emulate his character.

Strive to follow his example.

Strive to embody the qualities and attributes that he possessed.

Strive to perfect your character, just as he did.

Strive to be a servant of Allah, just as he was.

Strive to connect with Allah through the teachings and guidance of the Prophet ﷺ.

Strive to love the Prophet ﷺ more than ourselves.

And in doing so, may we find true peace and tranquility in our hearts.
