Assalaamu alaykum
Dear Friends
I pray that you are well.
A man came to the Prophet (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) and said, “O Messenger of Allah, direct me to an act which, if I do it, will cause Allah to love me and people to love me.” He (the Prophet,sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) said, “Renounce the world and Allah will love you; renounce what people possess and people will love you.”
Renouncing the world does not mean you give up all worldly possessions. It means that we should never value material possessions above our relationship with Allah. Don't mind the numbers in your bank account. Don't mind what people have. Dedicate yourself to the worship of Allah. Live a righteous life, and pursue excellence in everything you do, including your work and your family life.
Live simply, humbly, earning your livelihood and providing for your family without trying to own the "best" and latest of everything. Do this, and love will flow to you from Allah.
May Allah increase us in our love for Him and His Messenger, sallallahu alayhi wassallam. Ameen.
Please don't forget us in your night prayers. Jazakallahu khairan.
And Allah knows best.
Wassalaam
Amen
