The Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) narrated that his Lord

said: My love is guaranteed for two who love one another for My sake;
My love is guaranteed for two who visit one another for My sake; My love is guar
anteed for two who help one another (financially) for My sake; My love is guaran
teed to two who uphold ties with one another for My sake.
The greatest reward comes from the greatest trial. When Allaah loves people, He
tests them, and whoever accepts it gains the pleasure of Allaah and whoever comp
lains earns His wrath.
Narrated 'Abdullâh [radhi-yAllâhu 'anhu]: I asked the Prophet [sal-Allâhu 'alayhi wa s
allam] ,"What is the greatest sin in consideration with Allâh?" He said, "That you
set up a rival to Allâh though He Alone created you." I said, "That is indeed a g
reat sin."
Then I asked, "What is next?" He said, "To kill your son lest he should share yo
ur food with you." I asked, "What is next?" He said, "To commit illegal sexual i
ntercourse with the wife of your neighbour." [Sahih Al-Bukhâri]
Narrated Abu Hurairah [radhi-yAllâhu 'anhu]: I heard Allâh's Messenger [sal-Allâhu 'al
ayhi wa sallam] saying: "By Allâh! I seek Allâh's forgiveness and turn to Him in rep
entance for more than seventy times a day." [Sahih Al-Bukhâri]
Narrated 'Aishah [radhi-yAllhu 'anhaa]: The Prophet [sal-Allhu 'alayhi wa sallam
] said, "The most hated person to Allah is the one who is most quarrelsome of th
e opponents." [Sahih Al-Bukhari].
Narrated Abu Ummah [radhi-yAllhu 'anhu]: Allah's Messenger [sal-Allhu 'alayhi w
a sallam] said:"(a) I guarantee a home in Paradise for a person who gives up arg
uments and disputes even if he is on the truth.
(b)And [I (also) guarantee] a home in the middle of Paradise for a person who gi
ves up lying (false statements) even while joking. (c) And [I (also) guarantee]
a home in the highest part of Paradise for a person who has a high standard of c
haracter." Abu Dawud
When Allaah loves a slave, He says to Jibreel, 'I love so-and-so, so love him,' s
o Jibreel loves him and then calls out to the people of heaven, 'Allaah loves so
-and-so, so love him,' and the people of heaven love him, and then acceptance is
placed in the Earth for him."
My servant draws not near to Me with anything more loved by Me than the religiou
s duties I have enjoined upon him, and My servant continues to draw near to Me w
ith supererogatory works so that I shall love him.
When I love him I am his hearing with which he hears, his seeing with which he s
ees, his hand with which he strikes and his foot with which he walks. Were he to
ask [something] of Me, I would surely give it to him, and were he to ask Me for
refuge, I would surely grant him it.
I do not hesitate about anything as much as I hesitate about [seizing] the soul
of My faithful servant: he hates death and I hate hurting him. Narrated by al-Buk
haari
Love of Allaah, which is the most important obligation, as it is the basis of Is
lam. By perfecting one s love of Allaah, one perfects one s faith. If one s love of Al
laah is lacking, then one s Tawheed is also lacking.
But those who believe, love Allaah more (than anything else) . . . [al-Baqarah 2:
165]
It was narrated from Anas ibn Maalik (may Allaah be pleased with him) that a man
was with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) when another m

him, for it does good and makes the love last.
The believers are nothing else than brothers (in Islamic religion) [al-Hujuraat 4

rs) of one another [al-Tawbah 9:71]

haari
The Messenger of Allaah (blessings and peace of Allaah be upon him): The believers
, in their mutual mercy, love and compassion, are like a (single) body; if one p
art of it feels pain, the rest of the body will join it in staying awake and suf
fering fever.

Said, if Allah loves a person, He calls Jibrael (Gabriel) saying, Allah loves so an
d so; O Jibrael (Gabriel) love him. And make an announcement amongst the inhabita
nts of the heaven:
Allah loves so and so therefore you should love him also, and so all the inhabi
tants of the heaven would love him, and then he is granted the pleasures of the
people on the earth. Narrated by Al-Bukhari and Muslim.

nd His Messenger (Muhammad), if you are believer[al-Anfaal 8:1]

He said: Reconciling in a case of discord, for the evil of discord is the shaver.
Narrated from Umm Kalthoom bint Uqbah ibn Abi Mu eet that she heard the Messenger o

eks to reconcile between people and says good things. Narrated by al-Bukhaari
narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (p
eace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: Do not hate one another, do not e
nvy one another, do not turn away from one another. Be, O slaves of Allaah, brot
hers. It is not permissible for a Muslim to forsake his brother for more than th
ree days.
narrated that Abu Ayyoob al-Ansaari (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The P
rophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: It is not permissible fo
r a Muslim to forsake his brother for more than three days, each of them turning
away when they meet. The better of them is the one who gives the greeting of sa
laam first.
It was narrated from Abu Kharaash al-Sulami that he heard the Messenger of Allaa
h (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say: Whoever forsakes his brother f
or a year, it is as if he has shed his blood. Narrated by Abu Dawood, 4915.
Muslims frequently say, Our Lord, give us in this world that which is good and in
the Hereafter that which is good, and save us from the torment of the Fire (cf.
al-Baqarah 2:201).
