What is the meaning of Imaan

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 1.14 Narrated by Anas

None of you will have faith till he loves me more than his father, his children, and all ofmankind."

One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

Can you please clarify the meaning of Imaan,or isn`t it the part of imaan to love our

belowed prophet ( Peace be upon him) Mohammad (S.A.W) who has shown us the

right path of Islam to follow and worship one and only Almighty Allah (Subhanah)

then why people talk about denial to love Prophet ( Peace be upon him) and reluctant

to admit his miracle and says love only Allah (Subhanah) alone isn`t they are lacking

in Imaan? Servant.

Answer:

Imaan love prophet(peace be upon him): In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek Hishelp and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever

He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is none

worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His

slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 33 Surah Ahzab verse 21: There is indeed the

best example for you to follow in the Messenger of Allah, for every such person looksforward to Allah and the Last Day, and remembers Allah much.

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 4 Surah Nisa verse 79-80: We have sent you (OMohamed) as a Messenger to mankind, and Allahs witness suffices for this. Whoever

obeys the Messenger, in fact obeys Allah, and whoever turns away from him, he will be

accountable for his deeds. Anyhow, we have not sent you (O Mohamed) to be a guardian

over them.

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 3 Surah Ale Imran verse 31-32: O Prophet, tell

the people, If you sincerely love Allah, follow me. Then Allah will love you andforgive you your sins, for He is All Forgiving, All Merciful. Also say to them, Obey

Allah and His Messenger. And if, in spite of this, they do not accept your invitation,

warn them that Allah does not love those, who refuse to obey Him and His Messenger.

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 7 Surah Aaraaf verse 157:

(So, now mercy has been assigned to those) who follow this Messenger (Mohamed(saws)), the Gentile Prophet, whose mention they shall find in the Torah and the Gospel

with them. He enjoins them to do good and forbids them from evil; he makes pure things

lawful for them and impure things unlawful; he relieves them of their burdens and frees

them from the shackles (of rites and rituals) that bound them. For this reason, those alone

who believe in him, support him, succour him, and follow the Light that has been sent

down with him shall attain true success.

Your Question: ..or isn`t it the part of imaan to love our belowed prophet ( Peace

be upon him) Mohammad (S.A.W) isn`t they are lacking in Imaan?

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 1.15 Narrated by Anas:The Prophet (saws) said, "Whoever possesses the following three qualities will have tasted

the sweetness (delight) of faith:

1. The one to whom Allah and His Messenger 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 disbelief as he hates to be thrown into the fire."

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 1.13 Narrated by Abu Huraira:

Allah`s Messenger (saws) said, "By Him in Whose Hands my life is, none of you will

have faith till he loves me more than his father and his children!"

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 1.14 Narrated by Anas:The Prophet (saws) said "None of you will have faith till he loves me more than his

father, his children, and all of mankind."

The Noble Prophet Mohamed (saws) was sent with the Truth, and Allah is our witness

brother, he (saws) spoke nothing but the absolute truth! The Messenger of Allah (saws) didnot need to swear or take an oath in the Name of Allah to declare the Truth.but to stress

the importance and significance of the statement he was about to make, the Messenger of

Allah (saws) called Allah Subhanah to witness and swore on oath in the Blessed Name of

Him in Whose Hands was his (saws) life, that none can possess emaan or faith unlessand until that person loves Prophet Mohamed (saws) more than their own father, their

children, (and all of mankind combined)!

To love, obey, and follow the Last and Final Messenger of Allah, Mohamed ar-Rasool

Allah (saws) is an integral, unconditional, and the very essence of emaan or faith.. and

if there is one who claims to possess faith and does not love the Noble Prophet Mohamed(saws) more than everything else in creation, Allah is our witness brother, such a person

neither has faith nor has such a person tasted the sweetness of faith!

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 21 Surah Anbiyaa verse 107:

107 We sent thee (O Mohamed (saws)) not, but as a Mercy for the aalemeen (absolutely

everything in creation)!

If one trusts, obeys, and follows the guidance and commands of Allah and His Messenger

(saws), one can be assured of never ever being misled; but if one believes, obeys and

follows any other guidance, other than that of Allah and His Messenger (saws), one can beassured of being led astray.


3/3

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allahs Assistance and Guidance, and

whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of

Strength.

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,

A wise person is one who keeps a watch over his bodily desires and passions, and checkshimself from that which is harmful and strives for that which will benefit him after death;

and a foolish person is one who subordinates himself to his cravings and desires and

expects from Allah the fulfilment of his futile desires. Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 66 Narrated byAbuYa`la ibn Shaddad ibn Aws

Narrated By Abu Huraira (r.a.) : Allah s Apostle(peace be upon him) said,"(A believer) who accompanies the funeral procession of a Muslim out of sincere faith and

hoping to attain Allah`s reward and remains with it till the funeral prayer is offered and the

burial ceremonies are over, he will return with a reward of two Qirats. Each Qirat is likethe size of the (Mount) Uhud. He who offers the funeral prayer only and returns before the

burial, will return with the reward of one Qirat only."
