Yuhibbunahum Kahubbillah Wallazina Amanuu Ashaddu Hubban Lillah -al-baqarah 165- ✓

The verse "Yuhibbunahum kahubbillah wallazina amanuu ashaddu hubban lillah" has significant implications for the lives of believers:

"Yet there are some who take others as equals to Allah and love them as Allah alone should be loved; but those who (truly) believe, they love Allah more than all else" Yuhibbunahum kahubbillah:

Attaining the state of Ashaddu Hubban Lillah requires conscious spiritual effort. The path involves three core habits: Human beings are hardwired to love

If this verse defines the core of faith, how does a believer cultivate this supreme love? Here are practical, Quranic and Prophetic steps:

When the Quran says "Yuhibbunahum kahubbillah" (They love them as they should love Allah), it highlights a psychological and spiritual error. Human beings are hardwired to love. However, when that love is anchored to something inherently flawed and fleeting, it becomes destructive. They love them as they love Allah

“And of mankind are some who take (for worship) others besides Allah as rivals (to Allah). They love them as they love Allah. But those who believe love Allah more (than anything else)...” (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:165)

According to classical scholars, this verse serves as a litmus test for faith. it is in the sacrifice.

In the famous Hadith of the Three Loves , the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “None of you truly believes until I am more beloved to him than his father, his child, and all of mankind.” (Bukhari & Muslim). This is Ashaddu Hubban in action. When the time for Fajr arrives, is the warm bed more beloved to you than Allah? When the haram income arrives, is the money more beloved than Allah? The measure of love is not in the heart; it is in the sacrifice.
