كتاب كيف نُحِب الله ونشتاق إلي

The book How We Love God and Desire for Him is a valuable book worthy of reading, especially as it confirms, deepens and documents love for God and longing for Him with methods, evidence and mechanisms through which a Muslim can achieve love and recognize the degree of longing and remove the apathy that sometimes afflicts the soul. This sincere lover of his Lord Almighty, you will always see him increase his remembrance and feel anxious about his proximity, and he desires to be alone with him, and loves being alone with him and calling him, hastening in his obedience and always working on his satisfaction, he is jealous of his kin and gets angry for his sake, he rejoices in his gifts and thanks him always for them For his sake, he is satisfied with all that he spends for him, and spends the end of his effort in his service. 26) on the authority of Suhaib; The Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, recited this verse: “To those who do good and increase it.” And he said: “If the people of Paradise enter Paradise, and the people of Hellfire, a caller calls: O people of Paradise, you have a date with God that He wants to fulfill you. They would say: What is it? Did he not burden our scales, whiten our faces, enter Heaven, and displace us from the fire?
