𝗗𝗼 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗪𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗜𝗳 𝗔𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗵 𝗟𝗼𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗬𝗼𝘂?

𝗗𝗼 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗪𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗜𝗳 𝗔𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗵 𝗟𝗼𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗬𝗼𝘂?

Shaikh Ali Tantawi رحمة الله عليه says he was wondering if Allah loves him? So he checked the Qur'an to see what are the characteristics of the people that Allah loves

So he found that Allah loves 𝗔𝗹-𝗠𝘂𝘁𝘁𝗮𝗾𝗲𝗲𝗻 (the pious), he says "I wouldn't dare consider myself one of them"  

Then he found that Allah loves 𝗔𝘀-𝗦𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻 (the patient). So he remembered; "How impatient I am"  

He found that Allah loves 𝗔𝗹-𝗠𝘂𝗷𝗮𝗵𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗻 (those who strive in HIS path), so he remembered how lazy and powerless he was. 

Then he found He loves 𝗔𝗹-𝗠𝘂𝗵𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗻 (those who do good deeds). So he remembered how far he was from that.  

He says: "So I stopped searching to avoid more disappointment. I reflected on my good deeds, and I found most of them are mixed with laziness, coldness, flaws and sins.....

Then it came to my mind that 𝗔𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗵 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝘁-𝗧𝗮𝘄𝘄𝗮𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 (those who repent). I just figured out it is the one for me and for others like me.  So I started saying "𝗔𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗵𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘂𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗵 𝗪𝗮 𝗔𝘁𝘂𝗯𝘂 𝗜𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗵" in abundance so 𝗜 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗯𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝗔𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗵 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲𝘀" 🤍
