Love and Obedience to Allah and His Messenger (peace be upon him)

 Love and Obedience to Allah and His Messenger (peace be upon him):

Favors of Allah:

         Allah Ta'ala has not only given us the form of life, but He has also given us all the essentials to live life, the number of His favors and the calculation of His grace is not possible, as the Almighty says in the Holy Qur'an:

Surah Ibrahim verse 34:

Translation:

 And if you count the favors of Allah, you will not be able to count them.

How is it possible that this abundance of blessings does not create in the heart of man the love and benevolence for his merciful God, which is mentioned in the Holy Qur'an:    

 Surah Al-Baqarah verse 165:

Translation:

 And those who believe, they have a greater love for Allah.

 Favors of Prophet Muhammad Mustafa (peace be upon him):

 After Allah, the most deserving of our love is the Messenger of Allah, Muhammad Mustafa (peace be upon him). You are the blessed ones, through whose hard work we have been given the greatest blessing of Allah, the Islam of religion.

Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa (peace be upon him) has said that no other prophet has been given as much hardship as I have been given in the way of Allah.

And all those hardships were endured by Hazrat Muhammad  Mustafa (peace be upon him) for the purpose of saving the ummah of Hazrat Muhammad  Mustafa (peace be upon him) from the hardships of the hereafter. About the love of the Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa (peace be upon him), the Holy Prophet Muhammad Mustafa (peace  be upon him) said:

Translation: 

None of you can be a believer until I love him more than his parents, my children and all the people of the world.

bet love Obedience to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him):

Allah Ta'ala has commanded obedience to the Messenger of Allah Prophet Muhammad Mustafa (peace be upon him) in several verses in the Holy Qur'an.

Surah Al-Imran verse 31:

Translation: 

Say (O Prophet to the people) that if you love Allah, then follow me (and the result will be that) Allah Himself will love you.

This condition of obedience is not exclusive to our Prophet  Muhammad Mustafa (peace be upon him). The Holy Qur'an says that the main purpose of the Prophets sent to the world was that people could follow the commandments of Allah Ta'ala by following them.

 Surah Al-Nisa verse 64:

Translation: 

And We did not send any messenger except that his command be obeyed by the word of Allah.

Prophet Muhammad  Mustafa (peace be upon him) said about those people who add new things to religion:

Such people will be deprived of my vision at the Hauz Kausar.

Another hadith says:

Translation:

 Every person of my ummah will go to heaven. Except for those who refuse. It was submitted that who will be the person who refuses? Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa (peace be upon him) said. Whoever obeys me will go to Paradise and whoever disobeys me will be a disbeliever.
