Quotes About Loving Allah

“There is a candle in your heart ready to be kindled; There is a void in your soul ready to be filled…you feel it, don’t you?

Rumi

“Every love outside of His love, is pain.

Rumi

“Lose yourself, lose yourself in this love. When you lose yourself in this love, you will find everything.

“When we are empty and at our weakest it's hard to give love. Even to God. It's then that what we need most is to fill ourselves with His love for us.

Yasmin Mogahed

“If you want to know where you stand with God, ask where God stands with you.

Yasmin Mogahed

“Muadh ibn Jabal (ra) was undergoing the pangs and agonies of death, he cried out, “O Allah! Bear witness that I love You, so do with me whatsoever You wish!”

Mu'adh ibn Jabal

“Our weight was only meant to be carried by God. We are told in the Quran: “…whoever rejects evil and believes in God hath grasped the most trustworthy hand-hold, that never breaks. And God hears and knows all things.” (Qur’an 2: 256)

There is a crucial lesson in this verse: that there is only one handhold that never breaks. There is only one place where we can lay our dependencies. There is only one relationship that should define our self-worth and only one source from which to seek our ultimate happiness, fulfillment, and security. That place is God.

Yasmin Mogahed

“If there is anything—or anyone—other than God, that we could never give up, then we have a false attachment. Why was Prophet Ibrahim told to sacrifice his son? It was to free him. It was to free him from a false attachment. Once he was free, his object of love (not attachment) was given back to him.

Yasmin Mogahed

“Before you can fill any vessel, you must first empty it. The heart is a vessel. And like any vessel, the heart too must be emptied—before it can be filled. One can never hope to fill the heart with God, so long as that vessel is full of other than Him subhanahu wa ta`ala (exalted is He).

Yasmin Mogahed

“As human beings, we are created with a particular nature (fitrah). That fitrah is to recognize the oneness of God and to actualize this truth in our lives. Therefore, there is no calamity, no loss, no thing that will cause more pain than putting something equal to God in our lives or our hearts. Shirk on any level breaks the human spirit like no worldly tragedy could. By making the soul love, revere, or submit to something as it should only God, you are contorting the soul into a position that it, by its very nature, was never meant to be in. To see the reality of this truth, one only has to look at what happens to a person when they lose their object of worship.

Yasmin Mogahed

“The more you love something, the more it has the potential to hurt you (such as spouse, children, etc.). The only exception is Allah.

Yasir Qadhi

“Every love that leads away from His love is in fact a punishment; only a love that leads to His love is a heartfelt and pure love.

Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah

“Love of Allah gives us spiritual life; hope in His Reward is the greatest incentive to do good; and fear of His Wrath stops us from evil.

Yasir Qadhi

“Constantly thinking about someone is a sign of true love—so how often do those who claim to love Allah remember Him?

Yasir Qadhi

“To love and to be loved is necessary for happiness. So what greater joy is there than to love and be loved by Allah Himself?

Yasir Qadhi

“No love that a man has will only give him pleasure in return— he shall also suffer pain because of it, except for the love of God.

Ibn Taymiyyah

“As true love of Allah increases, yearning for worldly pleasures decreases.

Yasir Qadhi

“Whoever claims to have combined the love of dunya (worldly life) with the love of its Creator in his heart, he has lied.

Imam ash-Shafi`i

“Whoever loves you for the sake of some thing will dislike you when that thing ceases, and whoever loves something other than Allah will be tormented by it.

Ibn Shaheed al-Andalusi

“If you wish to check how much you love Allah, then see how much your heart loves the Quran, and you will know the answer.

Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah
