Tips: Three Signs Which Could Indicate That Allah Actually Loves You

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful 

🗒️ Three obvious signs that Allah the Most Kind loves you even if you sometimes go through challenges, difficulties, mood swings, problems and stress in life: 
1]• When Allah the Most Wise provides you access to authentic Islamic knowledge, guides you to the correct belief / 'Aqeedah, and gives you plenty of opportunities to learn more about Islam, then understand that He Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala loves you and wants you to succeed in both worlds. 
Teachers who genuinely care about their students would offer them as many tips, tricks and advice as they can to help the learners pass their tests with good performance.
📖 Mu'awiyah RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said: "If Allah intends goodness for someone, He gives him understanding of the religion."
Source: Sahih Al-Bukhari 71
Grade: Muttafaqun Alayhi 
2]• When Allah the Most Loving inspires you to join the elite of Muslims who wake up to pray Tahajjud / Qiyaam Al-Layl often and motivates you to do more Sunnah / voluntary good deeds, such as praying Salat Ad-Duha and fasting Sunnah fasts regularly, then be assured that Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala loves you. 
📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Allah the Almighty said: 'Whoever shows hostility (enmity) to a righteous friend of Mine, I have declared war against him. My servant does not grow closer to Me with anything more beloved to Me than the obligatory duties that I have imposed upon him. My servant continues to grow closer to Me with extra good works (nawaafil deeds like praying Tahajjud and fasting Sunnah fasts) until I love him. When I love him, I am his hearing with which he hears, his seeing with which he sees, his hand with which he strikes, and his foot with which he walks. Were he to ask something from Me, I would surely give it to him. Were he to ask Me for refuge, I would surely grant it to him. I do not hesitate to do anything as I hesitate to take the soul of the believer, for he hates death and I hate to disappoint him.'"
Source: Sahih Al-Bukhari 6137
Grade: Sahih (Authentic) according to Al-Bukhari 
3]• When Allah's Love causes you to be extra careful concerning who you socialize with and what online content to absorb, realize that your choosiness when it comes to forming friendships indicates you're one of Allah's allies who stay away from distractions and negative influence.
A loyal citizen who feels valued by a certain president would perceive that the latter's care is a lot more important than putting effort in maintaining connections with anybody who is the leader's critic and opponent. 
You are never desperate for people's love and admiration when you've become one of those whom Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala loves and grants guidance.
📖 Sa'd Ibn Abi Waqqas RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Verily, Allah loves a servant who is righteous, independent, and obscure (unknown, unpopular, not famous)."
Source: Sahih Muslim 2965
Grade: Sahih (Authentic) according to Muslim

📖 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 piety/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 (challenging). 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."

Poem: May Allah The Most Loving Have Mercy On My Dear Parents And Reunite Us In Jannah. Ameen.

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful 

💌 O' Allah, the Most Merciful, Most Loving,
Some good deeds my parents did back when living,
As a witness that my parents did their best,
While I pray that Jannah is their place of rest:
________________
Dear Allah, I remember those nights back then
Seeing my parents pray Tahajjud often,
My Dad as my Mom's Imam, I'd find them both
Praying together for success in both worlds.
________________
My Mom, also a close friend, did what she could
To fulfill our needs, she cleaned, sew clothes and cooked,
Woke us early for Fajr Salah on time,
Was there a lot to love, feed, hug and advise.
________________
Before going to school I'd kiss her goodbye,
While she'd write her Islamic books oftentimes.
Preoccupied with learning about Islam,
She taught me lessons I had to understand.
________________
My Dad, a hardworking man, tried his best too
In caring for us, buying supplies for school.
Often he'd come home from work with lots of sweets,
And ensure we had blankets before he'd sleep.
________________
Many times he helped me with school assignments, 
And scold when I'd make mistakes or misjudgements.
I recall that time he sat right next to me
To prevent boys mixing, to teach modesty.
________________
MashaAllah, both were active in Da'wah,
Delivering lectures and giving Zakah.
Saw how they'd donate boxes of food and clothes
To loved ones in need and refugees unknown.
________________
Always concerned for oppressed Muslims worldwide,
In Iraq, Kashmir, Chechnya, Palestine,
And other countries, they both did what they could
To share Islam so it's not misunderstood.
________________
My parents too loved feeding stray cats and birds,
Strove to teach us good manners and keep us learned.
From dear Mom's advice: Have patience with people, 
And don't quit doing good. From Dad: Be humble.
________________
Before Mom died, I helped her pray her prayers,
Lifting her arms, saying ‘Allahu Akbar’.
On seeing Dad passed in ICU, told him
‘You’re a martyr, we’ll meet in Jannah again.’
________________
No nights and days pass without sorrow greeting,
May my tears expiate all my sins. Ameen.
May Allah the Most Kind always grant Mercy
And unite me with my beloved parents in Jannah. Ameen.
________________
May Allah the Most Merciful have mercy on my dear parents, accept their good deeds, forgive their sins, protect them from the grave's torment, and reunite us in Jannatul Ferdaus next to Allah and His noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam. Ameen.
