The Secret of Those Who Love Allah

Whoever loves Allah would love to hear Allah being described to him, and there's nothing that describes Allah better than Allah himself.

Those who love Allah, there's another secret to them.

۞ إِنَّ ٱلصَّفَا وَٱلْمَرْوَةَ مِن شَعَآئِرِ ٱللَّهِ ۖ فَمَنْ حَجَّ ٱلْبَيْتَ أَوِ ٱعْتَمَرَ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِ أَن يَطَّوَّفَ بِهِمَا ۚ وَمَن تَطَوَّعَ خَيْرًۭا فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ شَاكِرٌ عَلِيمٌ

When Allah is talking about the love of Allah, a few verses before that He is talking about Safa and Marwa. Those who love Allah have a strange desire to go and visit His house, and the moment you see His house, you'll realize it is the greatest moment in your life, in your lived existence today.

Not because it is a box. There's nothing special — except that Allah made it and honored it as His house. It is just a marble floor.

There's nothing special, but this is the floor that the prophets walked on — well, not on the marble, on the sand, underneath the marble. This is the place of the prophets, of our beloved. This is the land, this is the house of our beloved, our Creator.

And because it is the house of our beloved, what are people doing at the walls of the Ka'bah? They're crying, they're pulling, they're kissing, they're doing everything — and why? Because of their love for Allah.

The Summary

Those who love Allah, love His creation.

Those who love Allah, love His messenger.

Those who love Allah, love His speech.

Those who love Allah, love His house.

This is the summary.
