What does loving the Prophet entail?
As Muslims, we are commanded to love the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and to follow in his path in order to be true servants of Allah.
In this talk, Sheikh Yasir Birjas points out that the strength of our love for the Messenger is connected to our faith as Muslims.
When our faith increases, our love for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) increases. Loving him is an act of obedience to Allah and a means of drawing closer to Him.
The Quran reads:
{And whoever obeys Allah and the Messenger, and then they will be in the company of those on whom Allah has bestowed His grace} (An-Nisaa- 69)
