Make your Friends to be friend with the holy household of the Prophet (peace be upon them)

The type of friendship and love concerning the holy household of the Prophet (peace be upon them) you gave in your heart will be the same type of your friendship and love in the heart of those great men. Therefore those who are the enamored and lover of the holy household of the Prophet (peace be upon them) are also the beloved of those great men. 

Habeesh bn Mu’tamar says: I was at the service of the commander of the faithful (peace be upon him) and I said:

Peace, mercy and blessing of Allah be on you, O’ the commander of the faithful! What is your feeling this night? He said: my feeling is love for our lovers and hatred to those that hate us.[1]

In a situation whereby person’s love has taken place in the heart of the holy household of the Prophet (peace be upon them), he will be among the beloved ones of Almighty Allah and the love of Almighty Allah will also take place in his mind, meanwhile as at the time whereby Almighty Allah’s love become intensive that he did not exchange His love with that of creatures, his internal sight shall be opened and he will be conversant with the good servants of Allah.

The commander of the faithful (peace be upon him) said: In the night of ascension of the holy Prophet (peace be upon him and his progeny) to the heaven, Almighty Allah said to him:

Whoever does according to my accession, I shall bestow him with three attributes:

a- I shall acquaint him with thanks giving that is not mixed up with ignorance.

b- Remembrance that is not mixed up with forgetfulness.

c- And my love that is not affected with the love of the creatures.

If he loves Me, I will love him and I will open the sight of his heart to My sublimity and I will not conceal My special creature to him….[2]

Base on this, one of the signs of Almighty Allah’s love is conversant and seeing the good servants of Allah.  

This present time a lot of people are aspiring to visit and see the Imam of the time (May our soul be sacrifice from him) whether awakening or through dream, all these are due to their intensive love for him. As a result of that the love and eagerness of meeting with the beloved one increases.

Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him) hate death but Almighty Allah sent Azara’ir to tell Hadrat Ibrahim:

“Heave you seen a lover who hates to meet with his beloved one? Surely lover likes to meet with his beloved one”[3] 

The people that are present during the life time of the pure infallible household of the holy Prophet (peace be upon them) even though their city and houses are far away from those great men but their heart are beating due to remembrance, love and affection they had for the holy household of the Prophet, just as their love and affection to see the holy Prophet (peace be upon him and his progeny) has taken place in their heart and life; likewise they also continuously sketching the luminous face of that great man in their imagination.

This present day, the enamored of the leader of the time are hoping to see his face, the only survivor of the infallible ones, the great proof of Allah (May our soul be sacrifice from him), who is Almighty Allah’s mystery on this existing world, the one who is presently in occultation. Meanwhile hope and aspiration is base on that love and connection they had towards that great man, which is base on the saying of Almighty Allah: “undoubtedly that lover likes to meet with his beloved one”

Even though Yusuf was not sold to us as a coil; then that is the very pride we had for buying him.
