Nothing bugs me more then people who adamantly claim then other Muslims don’t love the Holy Prophet (saw)…How on Earth do they know?!
Some people are convinced that they love the Holy Prophet more then other Muslims?......How did they reach such a conclusion?
Isn’t humbleness one of the true signs of loving someone?
It is true that Muslims MUST love the Holy Prophet in order to taste the sweetness of Iman. The Holy Prophet said, "None of you will believe until I am more beloved to him than his children, his father and all people." (Bukhari and Muslim)
Imam Malik never wore shoes in the streets if Madina nor rode on an animal. Despite living so close to Makkah he only performed his Hajj only once because he wanted to die and be buried in Madina. He never related a Hadith whilst standing and used to perform his wudhu, wear his turban and put scent on before transmitting a hadith. He lowered his voice whilst relating them and remained silent when listening to them. He knew the worth and value of the hadith of the Holy Prophet and knew that they were not just words, something that we have reduced them to today…..THAT was true love..
And if you do fall in the category of those people who claim that you love the Holy Prophet more then others….Do you even KNOW Him (saw)?... If we do not KNOW someone we can not claim to love them…
Another sign of loving someone is obedience….the lover is always obedient to the one he loves….so if we do not do as He has said, can we claim to love Him (saw)?
So what exactly are the signs of loving the Holy Prophet (saw)?
If a person doesn’t attend Milad….Does he not love the Holy Prophet (saw)?
If a person refuses to grow a beard and/or doesn’t follow the sunnah….Does he not love the Holy Prophet (saw)?
WHY should we love the Holy Prophet (saw)…I mean what was so special about Him (saw)?...If you were asked by a non Muslim, what would you say?
And who gives anyone else an authority to judge the love of others?
And could you honestly put you hand on your heart and say that you love the Holy Prophet more then everyone else?...... And if put to the test could you prove your love?

Wow, don't know if this the desired effect, but reading what you wrrote is bringing tears to my eyes, seriously.
Not a great idea seeing as i'm in a university computer drop in center but it is very touching. Maybe my heart is softer today because i've had less sleep than normal (I had a ten o clock start but couldn't trust myself to go back to sleep after fajr and get back up for uni in time. ) or maybe its because Allah SWT has blessed me and countless others with (true?) love for the beautiful Prophet SAW.
If I was asked by a non-Muslim why do I love the Prophet of AllahSWT SAW, then my simple answer would be to refer them to the Dawud Wharnsby Ali Naat 'The Prophet'. Allah SWT has said if it was not Muhammad Salallahu alihi waSalam then he [Allah SWT] would not have created mankind.
for those of you who haven't heard the above mentioned naat (tut tut) its about how The Prophet SAW was always praying to Allah and pleading tearfully long into the night that we [the Ummah] might be safe.
Weally weally nice topic.
Gentleness and kindness were never a part of anything except that it made it beautiful, and harshness was never a part of anything except that it made it ugly.
Through cheating, stealing, and lying, one may get required results but finally one becomes
Salaams,
There is love and there is love. I dont think its about total obedience I think that because of the companion who loved Rasul(saw) but he used to drink you know the companion who sheykh ul Islam talked about the one who used to tell stories just to give some relief to the Prophet(SAW). He was a true arshiq. Look at that other companion who used to be so obedient in his prayer ect: you know, the one who was present when Rasu(saw) was distributing the booty, someone 'Tahmeme'
Its like saying we dont love our parents because we dont obey them! I've not met anyone who implies they love Rasul(saw) more than others. Although I have met people like Sheykh ul Islam who have so much love that make you think about your own relationship with Rasul(saw). I think obedience would help to increase ones r'ship and level of love.
Who have you met thats like this? I dont mean whats their name ect:
ps: how's the transcribing going?
Beautiful topic...One who truly loves the Holy Prophet doesnt openly declare that, they are the most humble and are the best out of the Holy Prophet's ummah, they are the true ashiqs.
No one can declare that so and so doesnt love the Holy Prophet becuz he doesnt what that person does to please the Holy Prophet (saw). We cannot see in the hearts of others as to what thoughts they are lost in.
When we do somethin we should think, is this goin to please the Holy Prophet or hurt him (saw)....Remembering the Holy Prophet (saw), following his sunnah to the maximum and crying in remeberence of him will make us achieve the the true respect and love for the Holy Prophet (saw). I pray to Allah (swt) that we become worthy of loving the Holy Prophet (saw). ameen.

The Lover is ever drunk with love;
He is free, he is mad,

Beautiful post.
You're spot on.
im trying to read the Seerah of our beloved Nabi in order to gain more of an understanding Inshallah. I pray Allah SWT makes us all Ashiq-e-Rasul
but as Dawud says, naats and nasheeds help. Nasheeds tell good stories, and Naats, the poetry regarding the love for the Prophet is amazing!
But nowadays a lot of people take the love for the Prophet and misinterpret it. its 'bidah' :roll:
no one here can say anyone doesnt love the Prophet SAW, some express it in diffrent ways. However you somtimes can see in a persons character and speech whethere they are Ashiq-e-Rasul.

She is not thinking is she. One of those days, I suppose.
Perhaps she has had one too many.
How does a woman come to KNOW whether her husbands truly loves her or not. If she has ways of knowing his heart, then surely any binger can tell the same.
Doeth love not out in thy deeds ?
Nay, thine eyes display more brightly love than sun doeth rays.
Omrow
we love him it is deep in our hearts then it slowly begins to manifest in our characters and in our actions.
we could compete with each other spiritualy and try to love him more by following the sunnah more closely and openly declaring our love
we can weep long into the night and no one need know apart from the beloved
but in the end our love will be recognised by everyone who has eyes to see and most importantly by the beloved and by his Creator

good post seems
and omro-what the hell are u chatting about?
NO ONE has a right to get into a playground "i love the prophet (pbuh) more then u dispute".
such people are LAME

Love outs.
If you truly love someone then it will come out, in your actions.
Omrow
and thats all u had to say
and i agree with the omro
them who REALLY love the Prophet (pbuh) are less talk and more action

A true lover is always humble.
A true lover never feels that he/she has fulfilled the rights of love as his beloved deserves.
Our pious predecessors were known to spend the entire night in Ibadah (worship) only to claim in the morning that they couldn’t fulfil the rights of worship as their beloved deserved.
In short a true lover would never big himself up.
Also one of the signs of truly loving the Holy Prophet is that His likes becomes your likes and His dislikes become your dislikes.
Loving and following the Holy Prophet (saw), unlocks the keys of life since by loving him you obey him and by obeying him you automatically obey Allah (swt).
Wasalaam

What is better to love or to be loved? Sufi’s say that this is a question worthy of contemplation.
According to the true lovers of the Holy Prophet it is “to love”. This is because if one loves others, he/she will be loved in return.
True lovers are always loved in return.
The Holy Prophet Himself has said that “on the day of judgement one will be with the one he loves”.
True love for the Holy Prophet can be our short cut to paradise.
Wasalaam
I agree that no1 can say he loves Holy Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam more than another, love is the matter of the heart and ALLAH alone knows the conditions of hearts.
Having said that I believe tha true love means obedience aswell. So if someone truly loves Holy Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam then they will do everything they can just as the Holy Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam would, they grow their hair a certain way, they have a beard, they wear surmah, they eat a certain way etc.
What gets my goat is people who make claims to being ashiq e rasul cos they do Milad and then make swears at nonmilad party goers. They say things like ''aaj wohi eid manaaye ga jo sachcha ashiq hai, Nabi ke dushman aaj khushi nahi manaa te'' etc.
Fools, dont know that they calling Sayyidina Abu Bakr and other Sahabah Karaam non-ashiqs.
Basically I think true love is manifested on the body. People are impressed with man u, they were man u shirt, ppl are impressed with italian footbal team, they wear italia shirt. Those who love Nabi salallahu alayuhi wa sallam manifest it on their bodies. I believe there is a link between zahir and batin, the condition of one affects the other. So dressing in sunnah clothes etc increases ones love in the heart, having love in heart expresses itself by wearing sunnah clothing.Well thats what I think anyway.
Ya ALLAH Madad.

You love to have a go, don't you?
Noone here has said they are true aashiq's or they are not.
Yet you rant away.
Is ramadan bringing the anger out of you?
As always people are entitled to their opinion.
The sahaba celebrated the prophet's message/arrival/favours 24/7. they did not need to celebrate on a particular day.
However we do not celebrate 24/7. We need to be constantly reminded. mawlid is one such way. However even through the celebration, insults should be left at the door, as there are better things to do.

yup
and what you wear is the exterior only. if you dress as the Prophet (saw), the great!!!
but even if one doesnt, you can not say he has no love.....he could have more than the one who dresses in such a way.
i think the hunger is getting the better of him

Again you deliberately misunderstand me. I am not saying about any1 in specific. I was making a general comment but ofcourse some people have to take it personal cos I said it right? I didnt say any1 here claimed to be ashiq or not. I deserve an apology but wont hold my breath.
Ya ALLAH Madad.
Haq Chaar Yaar
Did I say he has no love? I quite explicitly mentioned that no1 can comment on the love that another has becuase that is a mtter of the heart and ALLAH alone knwos the matter of the heart so why u are slandering me by implying I said if someone doesnt dress a certain way then he has no love is not in my understanding. Again I deserve an apology because I made it quite clear that no1 can comment on the heart of another, but people again deliberately misunderstand me.
Hayder, your not gonna apologise so I have a simple request. Please show wher I say someone who doesnt weaar certain types of clothing has no love? Just show me where i said that, because I can show u where I said no1 can comment on the heart of another.
IS this what Shaykh Tahir Ul Qadri teaches you?
Ya ALLAH Madad.
Haq Chaar Yaar
SubhanALLAH to get angry about something means I would care and frankly dear I dont.
See when people have intention of impressing or guiding others then they get frustrated when the other dont listen. When a person makes intention solely for ALLAH, then others listening, ignoring or anything doesnt matter because the person is only doing it for ALLAH. May ALLAH grant us ALL pure intentions in all our actions. ameen
Ya ALLAH Madad.

sometimes it is best to keep quiet a lesson i need to learn
sarcasm is distasteful to me considering the subject and the month we are blessed with
LOL
sumtimes ramadan does bring out the anger in people
Med are u a smoker?
btw there was a man who used to drink alcohol and was brought to the Prophet (pbuh) in other words he blatently DISOBEYED the Prophet (PBUH)
and when people began to abuse the alcoholic the Prophet (pbuh) said "leave him cos he LOVES Allah and his Prophet"
so its not correct to say that them people who disobey the Prophet (pbuh) dont love him
and them people who CUSS or make fun outta other people's love for the Prophet need help
LilSis so you reaad that ettiquettes of Disagreement thread I take it.
That hadith was in there.
"For too long, we have been a passively tolerant society, saying to our citizens 'as long as you obey the law, we will leave you alone'" - David Cameron, UK Prime Minister. 13 May 2015.
i dont read long articles-esp them which have hints of googlyness to them
what did it say about ^^that hadith
I heard the above in talks
I resent that med, no need for your silly remarks. If you aint got ainythin better to say than throw insults at Shaykh ul Islam then i decide you keep your mouth closed! And you expect others to treat your teachers with respect, what double standards! :roll:
very tru
and anyway God looks at people heart
not their Man U top
did i say you said?
for what do i owe you an apology, when i never directed a slanderous comment towards you?
i was making a general statement....ur getting really uptight over nothing mate
and if it makes you any happier, plus as its ramadan, i will apologise...for what i dont know....but nonetheless, My apologies
You have a laot of faults in you (as well all do), and you have admitted some yourself.........but you dont hear me saying..."did your Ustaad teach you that?"
petty!! :roll:
