God’s great love (bag. 7)

Mother’s love: the most sincere love in the world

Mother’s love is one of the most sincere forms of love in this world. A mother carries out, protects, and loves her child unconditionally, even before the child is born. A mother is willing to sacrifice for her child, both physically and emotionally. Since pregnant, giving birth, to raising, mothers always prioritize their child’s happiness and safety. In fact, when the child makes a mistake, the mother still loves and pray for him.

Imagine a mother who bought her baby with love. He is willing to be a nightmare, refrain and tired to keep his child comfortable. If the child cried, he immediately calmed him down. If the child is hungry, he put his food first. So great is a mother’s love, but do we know that God’s love for his servants is far greater than the love of a mother for his son?

God loves us even before we know Him. He gives us life, air to breathe, food to survive, and protection in every step. Even when we sin and stay away from Him, God still opens the door to His love, waiting for us to return with forgiveness.

God’s love: Unlimited and perfect

Even though the mother’s love is so sincere and full of sacrifice, God’s love Azza from Jalla beyond the limits we can imagine. God not only loves His servant unconditionally, but also gives broad grace, unlimited forgiveness, and guidance for life. Allah Azza from Jalla said,

Alabai says that I have suffered from whom I will do it

” [1]

There is a hadith that shows that God’s love is greater than a mother’s love. Umar bin Khattab Radhiyallahu ‘anhu convey,

He came to the Prophet, may God backed him up and give him peace, so if a woman from your arrest may turn to his sin, if you find a boy in the prisoner, I take it, so I stick with tension and put it, so he says to us the Prophet, hopefully God’s prayer and peace is above it: we say: No, it is thought that you did not give.

Rasulullah Shoullahu ‘alaihi wasallam The arrival of the prisoner war group. In the middle of the group, there was a mother who was looking for her baby. When he managed to find his baby among the prisoners, he hugged him tightly into his body and breastfeed him. Rasulullah Shoullahu ‘alaihi wasallam Ask us, “Do you think this mother will have the heart to throw her child into the flames?”

We replied, “It’s impossible, by God. While he is able to prevent her baby from being thrown into it.”

Then the Prophet Shoullahu ‘alaihi wasallam He said, “It is true that God loves his servants from this mother to his son.” [2]

This hadith teaches us that God’s love is far greater than his mother’s love. Therefore, we must always hope for him, not despair for his grace, and be grateful for all the blessings we give.

Proof of God’s love

God’s love Azza from Jalla So broad and unlimited. This includes all its creatures, without looking at their status, action, or position. Every explosion, every provision we get, and every opportunity to improve ourselves is a concrete proof of his love. Among the proof of God’s love among others,

God never leaves His servants

Allah Ta’ala said,

And if my servant will give my servant, then I want to pray for the offer when he calls, so let them not be in me

“And when my servants asked you (Muhammad) about me, I was very close. I hope the prayers of people who pray when he prayed to me. [3]

God gives unrelenting sustenance

Allah Ta’ala said,

And there is no abundance in the country, but God gave him

“And not a creature (life) on any earth unless guaranteed by God. He knows his place of residence and storage. (Leah Mahfuzh). ” [4]

God forgives all sins

Allah Ta’ala said,

Say: My servant, who is happy with themselves, honest ignorance

“Say,” O my servant who exceeds their limits for themselves! Don’t despair of God’s grace. Indeed, God forgives all sins. Indeed, he is the most forgiven, who is compassionate. ” [5]

Allah gives guidance and guidance

Allah Ta’ala said,

اللّٰهُ وَلِيُّ ا Form​

“God protects believers. He brings them from darkness to light (faith).” [6]

Feel calm in worshiping and remembering God

Allah Ta’ala said,

Those who are safe and convincing their hearts by remembering God, except with the memory of God, the heart is convinced

“(Namely) those who believe and their hearts become peaceful by remembering God. Remember, just by remembering God the heart becomes peaceful.” [7]

Never doubt God’s love

Mother’s love is extraordinary love, but God’s love is far greater and unlimited. God always gives, forgives, and loves His servants, even when they sin.

So, never despair from His grace. No matter how far we get lost, there is always a way to return to Him.

When the heart feels broken, remember: God loves you more than anyone in this world.

May we all always get His mercy and affection. Amen.
