The effect of love for the sake of Allah on the life of Muslims

| love for the sake of Allah |
■ The Prophet (s) confirmed that this love between believers is one of the conditions of faith that will grant entrance to Paradise to the one who has it.
( Sahi Muslim )
■ By the One in Whose hand is my soul, you will not enter Paradise until you believe, and you will not believe until you love one another. Shall I not tell you of something that if you do it, you will love one another" Spread Salaam amongst yourselves.' (Sahi Muslim)
The Prophet (sallallahu alihi wa sallam) was able to establish the most ideal society of believers ever known, whose solidarity he described so well:
■ The relationship between believers is like a wall, parts of which support other parts.' (Sahi Muslim)
■ The believers, in their mutual friendship, mercy and affection, are like one body. If any part of it complains, the rest of the body will also stay awake in pain.' (Sahi Muslim)
■ The Muslims are like one person: if his eye hurts him then his whole body will suffer, and if his head hurts him then his whole body will suffer.' (Sahi Muslim)
In the light of this guidance, the Muslim cannot but be filled with love for his brothers and friends. Thus he becomes a good, constructive element of love in this world, and a victor who has gained the pleasure and love of his Rabb in the Hereafter.
