Ahmad was an average boy who loved to spend his free time playing video games. He had a collection of games that he would play for hours on end, often neglecting his daily prayers and other religious obligations. His mother noticed that Ahmad had become increasingly distant from his faith, and she was worried about him.
One day, while Ahmad was playing his favorite game, his mother came into his room and reminded him of the hadith "The love of Allah is attained through obedience to Allah." Ahmad stopped playing his game and thought about what his mother had said. He realized that he had been neglecting his religious duties and that his love for Allah had become weaker as a result.
Feeling guilty, Ahmad made a commitment to balance his time and prioritize his religious duties. He set a schedule for himself where he would spend an hour a day playing video games and the rest of the time focused on his religious obligations. He started to wake up early for Fajr prayers and make sure to pray all the prayers on time. Ahmad also started to read the Quran and do other religious activities.
As time passed, Ahmad found that as he became more obedient to Allah, his love for Allah grew stronger. He felt a sense of peace and contentment that he had never felt before. He began to find joy in performing small acts of worship and felt a deeper connection to Allah. Ahmad's mother was happy to see that her son had returned to his faith and that his love for Allah had grown.
Ahmad's experience showed him that the love of Allah is truly attained through obedience to Allah. He realized that by putting Allah first in his life, he had gained a sense of purpose and fulfillment that he had never found in his video games. From then on, Ahmad made sure to always prioritize his religious obligations and to always keep the love of Allah in his heart.
But why is it important to love Allah? Because Allah is the creator and sustainer of everything in the universe. He is the most merciful and compassionate. He is the one who has given us life and has provided us with everything we need. Loving Allah means recognizing his greatness and importance in our lives and striving to please him through our actions and obedience. It also brings peace, happiness and a sense of direction in life.
In addition, love for Allah also means to love his messenger, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and to love for the sake of Allah. It also means to love for the sake of Allah those who are dear to Him, such as the righteous and the poor. The more one loves Allah, the more one's faith and imaan will increase and the more
