The most powerful word in the English language and its equivalent in any other language is the word ‘love’.\u00a0Everyone loves and more importantly, everyone wants to be loved. Who you love and more so, who loves you speaks volumes about you and your profile.<\/p>\n

In an incident from the life of Rasoolullah\u00a0\u0635\u0644\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0644\u064a\u0647 \u0648\u0633\u0644\u0645, it is stated that one day the Sahaba were seated and they were having a\u00a0discussion while waiting for the arrival of Rasoolullah \u0635\u0644\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0644\u064a\u0647 \u0648\u0633\u0644\u0645. One Sahabi then remarked, ‘How amazing it is it that All\u0101h has chosen Ebrahim \u0639\u064e\u0644\u064e\u064a\u0652\u0647\u0650 \u0627\u0644\u0633\u0651\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0627\u0645\u064f to be His Khaleel, to be His friend?’ So, another Sahabi replied, ‘But isn’t it more amazing that All\u0101h chose M\u016bsa \u0639\u064e\u0644\u064e\u064a\u0647\u0650 \u0627\u0644\u0633\u0651\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0627\u0645\u064f to be Kaleemullah, whereby All\u0101h spoke to him directly?’ Yet another Sahabi added, ‘But what about Eesa\u00a0\u0639\u064e\u0644\u064e\u064a\u0647\u0650 \u0627\u0644\u0633\u0651\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0627\u0645\u064f? He is Ruhullah wa Kalimatuhu\u00a0(\u0631\u064f\u0648\u062d\u064f \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647\u0650 \u0648\u064e \u0643\u064e\u0644\u0650\u0645\u064e\u062a\u064f\u0647\u064f). He came into existence by the direct instruction of All\u0101h?’ Now whilst this discussion was taking place, Nabi \u0635\u0644\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0644\u064a\u0647 \u0648\u0633\u0644\u0645 arrived, but the Sahaba were so engrossed in this interaction that they did not notice Nabi \u0635\u0644\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0644\u064a\u0647 \u0648\u0633\u0644\u0645 sitting on the periphery, listening to the discussion. The one Sahabi remarked, Aadam\u00a0\u0639\u064e\u0644\u064e\u064a\u0647\u0650 \u0627\u0644\u0633\u0651\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0627\u0645\u064f was the first to be created, he started everything so that is amazing. That is when the Nabi of All\u0101h stepped into the discussion and said, ‘Oh my Sahaba,\u00a0I have noted your points. I have noted your points, and I have also noted your amazement.<\/p>\n

\u0627\u0650\u0646\u0651\u064e \u0627\u0650\u0628\u0652\u0631\u064e\u0627\u0647\u0650\u064a\u0645 \u062e\u064e\u0644\u0650\u064a\u0644\u064f \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647\u0650 \u0648\u064e \u0647\u064f\u0648\u064e \u0643\u064e\u0630\u0644\u0650\u0643<\/p>\n

There is no doubt that Ebrahim\u00a0\u0639\u064e\u0644\u064e\u064a\u0647\u0650 \u0627\u0644\u0633\u0651\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0627\u0645\u064f is the friend of All\u0101h.<\/p>\n

\u0648\u064e \u0639\u0650\u064a\u0633\u0649 \u0631\u064f\u0648\u062d\u064f \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647\u0650 \u0648\u064e\u0643\u064e\u0644\u0650\u0645\u064e\u062a\u064f\u0647\u064f \u0648\u064e \u0647\u064f\u0648\u064e \u0643\u064e\u0630\u064e\u0644\u0650\u0643<\/p>\n

That Eesa \u0639\u064e\u0644\u064e\u064a\u0647\u0650 \u0627\u0644\u0633\u0651\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0627\u0645\u064f is the spirit of All\u0101h and the consequence of the spoken word of All\u0101h, and indeed that is a fact.<\/p>\n

\u0648\u064e \u0645\u064f\u0648\u0633\u0649 \u0646\u064e\u062c\u0650\u064a\u0651\u064f \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647\u0650 \u0648\u064e \u0647\u064f\u0648\u064e \u0643\u064e\u0630\u064e\u0644\u0650\u0643<\/p>\n

We know that M\u016bsa\u00a0\u0639\u064e\u0644\u064e\u064a\u0647\u0650 \u0627\u0644\u0633\u0651\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0627\u0645\u064f spoke directly to All\u0101h and that is a fact.<\/p>\n

\u0648\u064e \u0622\u062f\u064e\u0645\u064e \u0625\u0650\u0635\u0637\u064e\u0641\u0647\u064f \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647\u064f<\/p>\n

Aadam \u0639\u064e\u0644\u064e\u064a\u0647\u0650 \u0627\u0644\u0633\u0651\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0627\u0645\u064f was the first to be chosen by All\u0101h and that is also a fact.<\/p>\n

But listen, whilst we are talking about facts, let me give you the fact of all facts:<\/p>\n

\u0627\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0627 \u0648\u064e \u0627\u064e\u0646\u064e\u0627 \u062d\u064e\u0628\u0650\u064a\u0628\u064f \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647\u0650 \u0648\u064e \u0644\u064e\u0627 \u0641\u064e\u062e\u064e\u0631<\/p>\n

Know this, my Sahaba, I am the Beloved of Allah. I don\u2019t say it out of pride, this is a fact. It is not a competition between me and my brothers in the fraternity and the galaxy of Ambiyaa and this is a fact which Allah has established. This was the choice of Allah. Ebrahim \u0639\u064e\u0644\u064e\u064a\u0647\u0650 \u0627\u0644\u0633\u0651\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0627\u0645\u064f has the title of Khaleel, M\u016bsa \u0639\u064e\u0644\u064e\u064a\u0647\u0650 \u0627\u0644\u0633\u0651\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0627\u0645\u064f has the title of Kaleem, Eesa \u0639\u064e\u0644\u064e\u064a\u0647\u0650 \u0627\u0644\u0633\u0651\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0627\u0645\u064f has the title of Ruh, I have the title of Habeebullah, the Beloved of Allah.\u201d<\/p>\n

Habeeb comes from the word \u2018Hubb\u2019 \u2013 love. Love… This ummah has unfortunately misunderstood what its core ingredients are. Nowadays, let alone what the West perceives about us, it is about how we perceive ourselves. We think Islam is only about being stern, firm, and aggressive. Indeed, everything has a balance, but we forget the core ingredients: what it is to be Muslim, what the foundations of Islam are. From all the titles, what did Allah choose for Rasoolullah \ufdfa? Allah chose the title of Habeebullah, the Beloved of Allah. This signifies Allah\u2019s love for Rasoolullah \ufdfa.<\/p>\n
