Summary

In this enlightening talk, Shaykh Yasir Qadhi wants us to reflect upon the emotion of loving Allah SWT in addition to being fearful and scared of Allah. The level of love of Allah is far greater than that of fear. It is the primary motivation in the worship of Allah. Allah's love must be more than love of family and love of everything we have. A Muslim must love Allah and His Messenger, Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Shaykh Yasir wants us to contemplate over the quintessential question - Why do we love Allah? How is the love of Allah manifested?  He also advises us to delve deep into thinking of ways to increase our love for Allah by leaps and bounds and furnishes us with numerous examples of the same. This short yet comprehensive talk will definitely tingle at the roots of Iman deeply embedded in each one of us.

imam al bahak in his book the comprehensive encyclopedia of imam he spends over

0:49.3

five hundred pages on this next point that we will summarize in 10 or 15 minutes. And that is the pillar of

0:56.2

loving Allah's love. Al-Hub, having Allah's love. And this is a concept that unfortunately and sadly is rarely mentioned and I

1:07.1

must point out that one of the fundamental mistakes many parents make is that

1:11.8

they teach their children to fear Allah before they teach them to love

1:16.4

Allah Subhana with Allah.

1:18.2

And so the child is raised and all he thinks of if you do this Jannam, if you do this Adab, if you do this adab if you do this this is going to happen but

1:24.7

before we get to that level the level of love of a law is more important and this is

something all of our scholars have mentioned we will come to the fear of Allah, and it must exist in the heart.

1:36.0

But love and fear go hand in hand.

1:38.5

If you do not have both, you end up having an incomprehensible or a very skewed understanding of who your Creator is.

1:46.4

And love is a more important emotion and it is the foundational emotion when it comes to the worship of Allah. Fear and hope are going

1:55.1

to come after, but love comes first. And it is the primary emotion that we have when we

worship Allah Subhana Hwata. And Allah Subhana with Allah Subhana and Allah Subhana what
