💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 How do you know if Allah the Almighty loves you?
Three things you receive if Allah's Love for you is true:
Knowledge with guidance, so as a Muslim you improve.
Good character while inclining to those who do good.
Trials that remove sins, so you meet Allah while pure.
~•~
When you're among the few chosen ones whom Allah loves,
Allah gifts you with wisdom, so your faith is improved,
Inspires you to learn Islam so you know what to do,
Interrupts your sleep often so you pray Tahajjud,
And shows you the straight path that leads to Jannah above.
~•~
If you're from among those loved by Allah the Most Wise,
He beautifies you with manners so you become kind,
Generous with what you can share of food and advice,
Liking what Allah loves, and leaving what He dislikes
Of evil traits like envy and people who backbite.
~•~
When Allah loves you, He equips you with faith, insight,
Taqwa, inspiration to serve Allah day and night,
Aptitude to recognize the truth from actual lies,
Siding with those whose 'Aqeedah and morals are right,
And gradually Allah removes bad souls from your life.
~•~
As Allah's Love for you increases, so do your tests.
When Allah loves you, He sends challenges and hardships
To purify you from the wrongs you previously did,
And so your status in Jannah gets elevated.
When Allah gives you a test, He knows you can pass it.
~•~
So whenever your patience through dark souls is tested,
When you're dissed by critics, hated by some relatives,
When by strangers' slurs or ex-friends you get offended,
Or your daily chores and workload provoke further stress,
Note: Allah's Prophets too went through tough times and distress.
~•~
Allah's Love isn't necessarily shown in these three:
Fame, affluence, and living without difficulties.
To know if Allah loves you, observe how often He
Directs you to say Du'a, do good deeds eagerly,
And guides you to loving those with whom He's also pleased.

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "When Allah loves a servant, He calls Angel Jibreel ('alaihis salaam) and He (Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala) says: 'Verily, I love this person so you should love him.' Then Angel Jibreel loves him and makes an announcement in the heavens, saying: 'Allah loves this person and you should love him.' Thus, the dwellers of the heavens love him and he is honored on the earth.”
In another narration, the Prophet Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "When Allah is angry with a servant, He calls Angel Jibreel and He says: 'I hate this person, so you should hate him.' Then Angel Jibreel resents him and makes an announcement in the heavens, saying: 'Verily, Allah hates this person, so you should hate him.' Thus, they become resentful with him and he is hated on the earth (for that person's crimes, wicked actions and evil qualities)."

📖 Sa’d Ibn Abi Waqqas RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: I said, “O Messenger of Allah, which of the people are most severely tested?” The Messenger of Allah SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "They are the prophets, then the next best (in terms of righteousness), then the next best. A man is put to trial according to his Deen/religion. If he is firm in his religion, his trials will be more severe. If he is weak in his religion, he is put to trial according to his strength in religion. The servant will continue to be put to trial until he is left walking upon the earth without any sin."
