He is talking about everything after Allah. After Allah the only personality that deserves out love is Prophet SAWW

All these examples highlight the love Allah has for His noble Messenger Muhammad (PBUH. They all serve as a subtle illustration of Allah’s close love for His Messenger, that He will only call upon him by names signifying his noble role in favour of calling him by his direct name.

Salaam,

I don’t understand how your article explains this complex and confusing hadith, that contradicts with Quran completely.
In the end it falls down to the same point, “love prophet more than your family to have faith (complete)”.
I don’t understand why you introduced the concept of voluntary and natural love when in the end you mixed both of them up in a way like “none of you will have faith until voluntary love becomes greater than natural love”
Suppose I don’t love Prophet more than my mom, what then? incomplete faith?? what about Surah Baqarah first 4 verses??
I believe in all Prophets and the messages they were sent with, I respect them and follow them too, I stay away from prohibitions and stay attached to compulsions in religion. So, if I don’t make my voluntary love greater than natural one, all these efforts were useless??
To be honest, this Hadith clearly contradicts Prophet’s own teachings, his other hadiths and the verses of Quran.

Salam alaykum
I have been reading islamic books to my children and they often stress, a great deal, about how children are to love prophet Muhammad pbuh, yet on another page, how important parents are. The love for our parents comes first after Allah. I find these two hadith contradicting of each other. On the one hand prophet muhammad pbuh is saying after Allah you should love your mother, your mother, your mother, then your father, and then another hadith says we should love him more than our mother. Can someone help me clarify this? I could not explain it to my children. Although I did learn a lot from this article, it is still unclear which hadith takes precedence over the other. Or am I completely missing the point(s)

Thank you

Dustin,

Well you’ve answered your own question to an extent when you said “how can we possibly devalue the word of God?”

We are not instructed anywhere in the primary sources of Shari’ah, Quran and Sunnah, to belittle anyone let alone a previous message of God or to devalue the previous Prophets.

In fact a muslim is not a muslim if he/she does not have firm belief in all previous Prophets. As to the question of love, once again we are not instructed or commanded to love them more then our fathers etc as we have been with the case of our Prophet (Saw).

This is were logic and rationale will come in handy. Other Prophets are also chosen men of God, having directly received revelation from God and are Ma’sum (infallible). They are the first to enter Paradise before and we can keep going. SO at the very least, we are commanded to have firm belief in their Prophethood, in their status of being infallible and to uphold utmost respect when speaking about them.

I find the words in this article are void of love/emotion. Love comes from the heart not the brain. Trying to rationalize love is like rationalizing the irrational. True Love consumes a person until they lose themselves completely (fana) and pour themselves into their beloved. Ask Hazrat Awais Qarni (RA – the best of the Tabieen) if he was being rational when he broke all his teeth out of his mouth because he heard the news that Rasulullah SAWAWS lost a tooth. Ask Hazrat Abu Bakr As-Siddiq if he was being rational when he left his family and himself near naked and donated every last possession of his to Allah and his Rasul SAWAWS.

Lovers act, where everyone else talks.

I want to raise my opinion but this may or could jeopardise the scholar standing. May Allah A’zza Wajalla forgive me for raising this opinion with my little knowledge.

As far as Islam is concerned, it’s the final Message/Religion and the last and final Prophet is The Muhammad Sallah-Allah-A’layhi Wassalam. The Prophet Sallah-Allah-A’layhi Wassalam was sent to entire Mankind (Ummathi Dawath and Ummathi Ijabath) and Jinn Kind. Therefore, being part of this Ummah it is our duty to love and respect the Prophet Sallah-Allah-A’layhi Wassalam. However, the other Prophets were sent to previous communities/nations with a particular message(s) and it is our duty to respect and believe in all the Prophets including Ibrahim, Lot, Moosa, I’sa, Yunus, I’sa,Yaqoob, Yusuf and remaining prophets (peace upon them). A Muslim never be a Muslim without believing those Messengers and therefore, the faith becomes void. Insha-Allah a scholar could add or correct m, if I have said anything wrong then know that it is either from the Shaitan or me and if I have said anything good, then know that it is from Allah. May Allah forgive me and all of you. Amen.
