The more constant the dhikr, the more mahabbah develops and intensifies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fourthly: Giving precedence to what All\u00e2h loves over personal loves, when being overcome by desires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fifthly: Contemplating and deliberating over the Names and Attributes of All\u00e2h.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sixthly: Recognising and remembering the favours and bounties of All\u00e2h \u2013 both the manifest and hidden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Seventhly: To be humble and submissive before All\u00e2h \u2013 and this is the greatest matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Eightly: To be in seclusion reciting the Qur\u2018\u00e2n, during that time in which All\u00e2h descends to the lowest heaven (which is the last third of every night), finishing this recitation with seeking All\u00e2h\u2019s forgiveness and repenting to Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ninthly: To sit in the gatherings of true and sincere lovers of All\u00e2h, reaping the fruits of their speech, and not to speak except if there is benefit in it and that you know that such talk will increase you in goodness and that it will benefit others as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tenthly: To stay clear of all those causes which distance the heart from All\u00e2h \u2013 the Mighty and Majestic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So these are the ten reasons which cause the person to develop true love for All\u00e2h and to reach the rank of al-muhabbah, by which he reaches his Beloved.\u201d [Mad\u00e2rijus-S\u00e2lik\u00een (3\/17-18).]<\/p>\n\n\n\n Source: Foundations of True Faith : Love for Allah \u2013 Al-Ibaanah Magazine , Issue No.1 \u2013 By Shaykh \u2019Abdur-Rahm\u00e2n ibn Hasan \u00c2lush-Shaykh , Fathul-Maj\u00eed Sharh Kit\u00e2bit-Tawh\u00eed (pp.470-473).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Source: https:\/\/abdurrahman.org\/2009\/06\/27\/the-reasons-which-cause-mahabbah-of-allah\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ibn Al Qayyim \u2013 rahimahull\u00e2h \u2013 says: \u201cThe reasons which cause mahabbah of All\u00e2h to develop, are ten…...<\/p>\nRead More <\/i><\/a>","protected":false},"author":826,"featured_media":37573,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[73,72],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2441","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-islam","category-productivity"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
