While flourishing the seed of faith, be aware of devil who is very active in creating the seed of doubt and thus, try to worsen the real test of the faith by unnecessarily underrating the greatness and deserving status of the most beloved Prophet (peace be upon him) whose love is the most prerequisite in the faith. The faith without the love for the Prophet (peace be upon him) is just like body without soul, the flower without fragrance, eyes without sight and honey without sweetness.
In this regard an Hadith is hereby referred
Narated By Anas (R.A) : The Prophet said, "Whoever possesses the following three qualities will have the sweetness (delight) of faith:
1. The one to whom Allah and His Apostle becomes dearer than anything else.
2. Who loves a person and he loves him only for Allah's sake.
3. Who hates to revert to Atheism (disbelief) as he hates to be thrown into the fire."
[Bukhari Volume 001, Book 002, Hadith Number 015.]
In the Quran Surah No 09 Verse No 24
(O Esteemed Messenger!) Say: ‘If your fathers (and forefathers) and your sons (and daughters) and your brothers (and sisters) and your wives and your (other) kith and kin and the riches that you have earned (so hard) and the trade and business that you fear may decline and the homes you are fond of are dearer to you than Allah and His Messenger (blessings and peace be upon him) and struggling in His cause, then wait until Allah brings His command (of torment). And Allah does not guide the disobedient.’
There are many evidences in the Quran and Hadiths which prove the importance of the love for the beloved Prophet ( peace be upon him) in the faith which plays a vital role in building up peaceful character and strong personality of a believer. Besides this, Muhammad (peace be upon him) is an ultimate role model not only for the believers but also for the whole humanity.
I would finish my line with this proverb.
Good Mind, Good Find
