@BeingSalmanKhan SIGNS OF ALLAH'S LOVE FOR HIS SLAVES AND THE EFFORTS FOR ITS ACHIEVEMENT!!

Abu Hurayrah (may ALLAH be pleased with him), who said that the Messenger of ALLAH (peace and blessings of ALLAH be upon him) said:
"If ALLAH has loved a servant [of His], He calls Gabriel (on whom be peace) and says: 'I love So-and-so, therefore love him.'" He (the Prophet - peace and blessings of ALLAH be upon him) said: "So Gabriel loves him. Then he (Gabriel) calls out in heaven, saying: 'ALLAH loves So-and-so, therefore love him.' And the inhabitants of heaven love him." He (the Prophet - peace and blessings of ALLAH be upon him) said: "Then acceptance is established for him on earth. And if ALLAH has abhorred a servant [of His], He calls Gabriel and says: 'I abhor So-and-so, therefore abhor him.' So Gabriel abhors him. Then Gabriel calls out to the inhabitants of heaven: 'ALLAH abhors So-and-so, therefore abhor him.'" He (the Prophet - peace and blessings of ALLAH be upon him) said: "So they abhor him, and abhorrence is established for him on earth."
[Muslim (also by al-Bukhari, Malik, and at-Tirmidhi).]


This Hadith mentions the reward of love of ALLAH. A person who loves for the sake of ALLAH is not only loved by ALLAH but also by the inhabitants of the earth as well as the heavens. On the other hand, those who are hated by ALLAH are also hated by the inhabitants of the earth and the heavens. It must be borne in mind that they alone remain popular in this world who are righteous by nature - who strictly maintain the distinction between the lawful and the unlawful (Ma`ruf and Munkar). But those whose nature is defected by constant sins, cease to distinguish between right and wrong and lose their credibility. They generally hate the pious persons for the reason that every category of people loves and likes people of its own kind.

ALLAH, the Exalted, says:

"Say (O Muhammad (PBUH) to mankind): `If you (really) love ALLAH then follow me (i.e., accept Islamic Monotheism, follow the Qur'an and the Sunnah), ALLAH will love you and forgive you of your sins. And ALLAH is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.''' (3:31)

Abu Hurairah (May ALLAH be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of ALLAH (PBUH) said, "ALLAH, the Exalted, has said: `I will declare war against him who treats with hostility a pious worshipper of Mine. And the most beloved thing with which My slave comes nearer to Me, is what I have enjoined upon him; and My slave keeps on coming closer to Me through performing Nawafil (voluntary prayers or doing extra deeds besides what is obligatory) until I love him, (so much so that) I become his hearing with which he hears, and his sight with which he sees, and his hand with which he strikes, and his leg with which he walks; and if he asks Me something, I will surely give him, and if he seeks My Protection (refuge), I will surely protect him" [Al-Bukhari]

Aishah (May ALLAH be pleased with her) reported: Messenger of ALLAH, (PBUH) appointed a man in charge of an army unit who led them in Salat (prayer); he always concluded his recitation with Surat Al-Ikhlas: "Say (O Muhammad (PBUH)): 'He is ALLAH, (the) One. ALLAH-us-Samad (ALLAH - the Self-Sufficient). He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none equal or comparable to Him.''' (112:1-4) Upon their return to Al-Madinah, they mentioned this to Messenger of ALLAH (PBUH), who said, "Ask him why he does so?'' He was asked and he said, "This Surah contains the Attributes of ALLAH, the Gracious, and I love to recite it. Messenger of ALLAH (PBUH) then told them, "Tell him that ALLAH loves him".
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
