 The topic of tonight is the source of love and Alhamdulillah, and one of the, one of the hadid of Salah says that Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la says that my servant comes closer to me with subrawatory, subrawatory worship until Hattah, until I love him. So the objective really is not here, the objective here is really not the worship in the subrawatory prayers. And we know that because Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la says, Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la says, He puts the love before the following. He puts the love, and what happens when you worship Allah, what happens when you get up in the middle of the night and you worship and you read Qur'an, and you do good deeds, and you give charity, and you do all of these things? You're asked to suppress it, you're asked to render it insignificant, you're asked to not bask in it or take pride in it, that those things can make you prideful, that the reality of it is, like in your prayer, when your limbs and everything are moving, it is the prayers really not the prayer of the limbs, although the limbs submit to Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la, the humility and the love is in your heart. And that is why the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam says, The Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam said, He says that for your demand to be complete, for your worship to be complete, that you have to first love Me over your children, over your parents, and over everything, including yourselves, because why? Because is this love that leads to it, it's this love that engenders action that makes you want to follow. And that is why the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam tells us this, and in this love, you have to contemplate about it, because a lot of us hear this hadith, but just think about your child for reals. Think about your little girl, think about your son, think about your mother, think about how much you love each one of those people. And then what you would do for those people, now you to love the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam, more than those people is because of the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam, that the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam is more, takes priority over than your own nuffs, than your own selves, because why? Because he came here for your soul. He's come here not just for your physical body that deteriorates in those, but that physical soul that goes on in the journey to the other realm. And that is why, but when you love somebody, it engenders the action, love cannot, although it cannot be explained, it could be seen and expressed. And if you look at the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam, if you look, for instance, we just had Valentine's Day, if you look how he was with Sayyidina Aisha, and how loving he was, like every single one of the hadiths that Sayyidina Aisha, most of them that he read, some of the ones that she narrates, the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam is laying on her lap, on the lap of her mother, even when he passes to Allah SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam, he passes on her lap. And when she ate something or drank something, the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam would grab that item and then turn it, and the spot that Sayyidina Aisha drank from, or took a bite from, he would do that and take that, the drink from that same spot. The greatest love story was between Sayyidina Khadija, radiallahu ta'ala ran her in our beloved Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam, and she loved the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam so much that when she saw him giving da'wah, and he would be standing in the sun, she couldn't bear to be in the shade, so she would go stand in the sun too. And whenever the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam even when she said, Aisha said that she wasn't jealous of any of one of his other wives, but she was jealous of Sayyidina Khadija, radiallahu ta'ala ran her. That she had this immense love for her, that every single time he saw one of her family members, or anything, he would rush and respect them, and he would have this reverence for them out of love for Khadija, radiallahu ta'ala ran her. And then the greatest and the greatest manifestation of his love is on the day of judgment. When the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam, where the day one day of the day of judgment is 50,000 years of this world, and in that 50,000 years the people will be waiting, and the greatest is the burden is going to be so much on them, but not just the burden of Hellfire, the burden of having the judgment start. They will want the judgment to start, and they will say, just start, just put us in the fire, put us do whatever, just have the judgment start that have been waiting for so long. During this whole time, the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam is in Sajdah, before Allah swt, who was ta'ala, during this whole time, he's in Sajdah before Allah swt, who was ta'ala. The other prophets, all of the Albiyaa, the Awliyaa, whoever, they're running, they're saying, Nufsi, Nufsi, myself, myself. Sayyidina Maryam, Alaihi Wasallam was chosen over all the women in humanity, and Isa, Alaihi Wasallam understands, Bidni Walidayn knows the respect for a mother, but on that day, he will run away from Sayyidina Maryam. Sayyidina Yaqub will run away from Sayyidina Yusuf. Even the prophets will run away from one another, but the prophets SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam will be in Sajdah before Allah swt, who was ta'ala, out of, he missed love for his ummah, and he will be in Sajdah until Allah swt, who was ta'ala, out of love for his Isa, Allah swt, Muhammad, SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam. Raise your head, O Muhammad, and he raises his head, and the intercession begins, and then Allah swt commands the angels, bring the pulpit of light. There'll be a chair, a pulpit of light brought before the Prophet says, sit on this, O Muhammad, and out of love and reverence for Allah swt, who will ta'ala, and to not disobey him, he goes towards the pulpit, but he's too afraid to sit on it. He's too afraid to, he says, if I sit on the pulpit, maybe I'll get somehow transported into Jannah, how, what will happen to my ummah? So he just puts his hand on it, and he cries to Allah swt, who will ta'ala, and the intercession begins in such manner, and he wants to be at the intercession, he wants to be the lawyer, the attorney of every single person, and during the judgment, he says, Ya Allah, let me be there while you're talking to them, while you're judging them, he says, no, Muhammad, I'm going to do this from behind the veil, because why? Because out of love for Muhammad SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam, because the people, when they see the things, and all the sins that are committed, Allah swt does not want to hurt the heart of the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam for more disobedience, and this is that immense day, that during, in Madinah, in the outskirts of Madinah, the Sahaba come one day, and they see the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam holding two books in his hand, and when they come, he kind of throws them in the air, and they just dissipate, they disappear, and they ask, Ya Allah, who is that? He says, these are the Kitab, Ahal Al-Yameen, and Al-Yasad, these are the books of the people of Paradise, and the people of fire, and then on the day of judgment, he will be seen with one book in his hand, one book, and it will be the book of the people of fire, and he will be plucking names out of the fire like this from the book, until Malik, the gatekeeper of hell says to him, Ya Muhammad, will you not leave anybody for the wrath of your Lord today? This is that immense love, this is that source of love, this is that love that if you love him, seven people will be on the day of judgment, seven more people will be under the shade of Allah's throne, and they'll be sitting on pillars of light, and one of them, one of those groups, are going to be people who love one another for the sake of Allah SWT. May Allah SWT make us from those people. May Allah SWT make Valentine's Day that for us, and every other day.
