BECOME THE REAL LOVER OF THE HOLY PROPHET PBUH
(Muhammad Rafique Etesame, Ahmedpureast)
Narrated Abu Huraira:
"Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "By Him in Whose Hands my life is, none of you will have faith till he loves me more than his father and his children."
This hadith reveals that no one can be a faithful believer till he loves the holy Prophet PBUH more than his father, children, his family and other people. This is the test of his faith. According to Islamic teachings, every Muslim is bound to pass his/her life following the “uswa-e- hasana” (good example) of the holy Prophet PBUH. For example, he should eat meal and drink water just like the holy Prophet PBUH ate and drunk, similarly, he should go to bed, do business or other works as the holy Prophet PBUH did.
These are the sunnah of the holy Prophet PBUH, about them the holy Prophet PBUH said, “whoever loves my sunnah as he loves me and who loves me will be with me in Paradise at the Day of Resurrection.”
May Allah Almighty give us power to become the real lover of the holy Prophet PBUH by acting upon his good example, Amin.
