Humility of the Rich

Belief and work

Al-Tabarani narrated: Allah’s Messenger (sallallahu alayhi wa salaam) said: “Allah loves the slave who believes and acquires a career (or work).”

Magnanimity

Al-Hakim narrated: The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa salaam) said: “Allah is All-Generous and He loves generosity in sale, purchase and judgment.”

Virtuosity

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa salaam) said: ” Allah loves the slave-believer who is poor but virtuous enough to refrain from begging though he has many children.” (Muslim and Ahmed)

Loftiness

Love for the Sake of Allah

Good Manners and Conduct

Love of Allah is the basis of worship that should be directed to Him alone. Any other love should be for his sake too. The real love of Allah is to do whatever He ordained and to abandon whatever He forbade, in addition to following the Prophet’s Sunna.

Whoever obeys someone or something other than Allah and His Messenger, on follows any saying other than theirs, or fears other than Allah or seeks the pleasure of other than Allah, or puts his trust in other than Him, does not love Allah, nor does he love His Messenger. Muslims should also love one another and wish the best for one another. Allah’s Messenger (pbuh) said:

“One will not be a true believer unless he loves for his brother what be loves for himself.” (Bukhari, Muslim, Nasa’i, Ahmed and Ibn Majah)

Imam Malik and Imam Ahmed narrated: Allah’s Messenger (pbuh) said: “Allah said: My love is due to those who love one another for My sake.”
