Ustadh Breaks In To Tears | What Does It Mean To Love Allah | Ustadh Hisham Abu Yusuf

Loving Allah is more than just words—it’s a commitment, a sacrifice, and a journey of the heart. True love for Allah means putting Him above everything else, surrendering to His will, and finding comfort in His remembrance. It’s about understanding that this dunya (world) is temporary, but the love of Allah is eternal.

What Does It Mean to Truly Love Allah?
It means choosing Him over our desires.
It means sacrificing what we love for what He loves.
It means finding peace in worship and longing to meet Him in Jannah.
The Prophet ﷺ said:
"Whoever loves to meet Allah, Allah loves to meet him." (Sahih al-Bukhari)

But how do we reach that level of love where we long to meet Allah?

Obedience & Worship: True love is shown through salah, dhikr, and obedience.
Sacrifice: Just as Ibrahim (AS) was willing to sacrifice for Allah, we must sacrifice our sins and distractions.
Tawakkul (Trust in Allah): Love means trusting His plan even when things don’t go our way.
Detaching from Dunya: The closer we are to this world, the farther we feel from Allah.
Do You Love Allah Enough to Yearn for Him?
Many say they love Allah, but do we truly desire to meet Him? Do we live in a way that, if death came today, we would be excited to stand before Him?

Allah says in the Quran:
"O tranquil soul, return to your Lord, well-pleased and pleasing to Him." (Surah Al-Fajr 89:27-28)

This is the ultimate goal—to live a life where Allah is pleased with us, and we are pleased with Him. That is the greatest love story of all.
