Lesson

       

Allah Almighty forbade from friendship with the disbelievers in the previous verses. Now it is being commanded that you should love Allah Almighty, but standard for love with Allah Almighty is hidden in perfect obedience and complete following up His last Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him). That is to say; if you wish to see, “Who loves his/her Real Lord, then he would be examined with the proof of obedience to Muhammad, the Last Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him)”. How much a person follows the steps of Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), he comprehends the Prophet’s brought Light (Islam) as Flambeau of the Straight Path and follows this Light, as much his/her belief will be perfect.       

He will get reward of love with Prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) that Allah Almighty will begin loving that person. Due to blessing of obeying the Prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), his previous sins will be forgiven and in future, he will deserve kindness and special attention of Allah Almighty. As though, there is no possibility of love by God Almighty for him without obeying the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him).

The children of Israel and the Christians used to say, “We are the sons and beloved of God”. Here it has been declared that the denier of Muhammad, Prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) of Allah cannot be His beloved. Whoever wants to become the beloved of Allah, he should carry out the orders of Prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him).

The Muslim Devotees have presented an astonishing point from it that Allah Almighty has recommended for His lovers, “If you claim that you love Me then follow My lover, Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace of Allah Almighty be upon him). Resultantly I shall become your lover and ignore your mistakes.” He also warned, “If you did not obey Allah Almighty and His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), then you will be counted in disbelievers and Allah does not keep the deniers friend.
