Once, while the Prophet walked the streets of Medina with his companions, they passed by a mother doting upon her child. The Prophet asked his companions, “Do you think that she would throw her child into the fire?” The Companions replied in shock: “No. As much as it was in her power she would not allow the child to be thrown thus!" The Prophet told them: “Verily, God is more compassionate to His servants than she is towards her child."
God loves us more than a parent loves their small child. He knows our helplessness, our need for Him and our weakness. He loves us so much that He never wants to turn us away from righetousness and so when we come to Him in repentance, He is eager to meet us and to forgive us.
May Allah give us a steadfast belief in His love and may we love Him more than anyone or anything. Ameen.
And becuase this was a short post, here is my new favorite Nasheed. I close my eyes and pretend I am back in Makkah.
