Shaykh AI:

B’ism Allah… Alhamdulillah, from the teachings of Mawlana Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi (QS), the love of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is essential as it is the key to gain the love of Allah ﷻ. When Allah’s love enters the heart, it results in the love of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ is the means through which Allah’s love and mercy are granted to creation. Our life revolves around loving and seeking the attention of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, as it leads us to the love of Allah. This is beautifully encapsulated in the saying of the Prophet ﷺ, “None of you will have faith till he loves me more than his father, his children, and all mankind.” Through loving the Prophet ﷺ, we open our hearts to receive the love and mercy of Allah, ultimately leading us to be under the intercession of the Beloved Prophet ﷺ. May your love for the Prophet ﷺ be a source of light and guidance in your life.
