True and genuine worship of Allah does not take place except through loving Him. Our love to Allah must supersede the love that we have for anyone and anything else, including our love to Prophet Muhammad. Our love to Allah is the very foundation of our faith. Achieving perfect faith is directly related to the level of perfection in love being offered. Moreover, perfection of the love being offered is directly related to the level of perfection present in the one being loved. Allah is the most perfect in every aspect of what it means to be perfect. He is free from any and all deficiencies. Thus, those whose hearts are sound, love Him more than anyone and anything and freely subjugate themselves to Him. Loving Allah necessitates obeying, trusting, surrendering, adhering and yielding to Him. The result is liberation from worldly control because worship is submission and subordination internally and externally to the beloved. Man does not subordinate nor submit himself, both internally and externally in all conditions except if he loves worship love. This type of love provides long term impetus for worshipping Allah. Love without subordination and servility is not worship. Subordination and servility without love are not worship. However, when love is coupled with servility, humility, submission, subordination, adoration and veneration, the result of combining these qualities is true and genuine worship.
Although I had a perfectly nice childhood,
I did not enjoy being a child...
I wanted to be a grown up
and be control of
my own life.
So when I get the job out of the country,
I was ecstatic.
Finally I would have my own life;
Independent from my family
and, may be, I though,
If I was lucky
something exciting may
Happen to me in my new world All thatmattered is
I had to take responsibily for myslef.
If I can do that,
my life would be about more than the things I did;
It would be about how I did them!
