The highest destination that a seeker can reach on the path to Allah (subḥānahū wa taʿālā) is love. The best and purest of all loves is Allah’s love. It is the path to eternal prosperity, it sustains the soul, and it provides life to the heart.
The path to paradise is love. It is the primary cause for our love of Allah and the sole path to a truly fulfilling life here on Earth.
Life is hopeless without the love of Allah. This is due to the fact that every person has a hole in their heart that can only be filled by Allah’s love. A person’s life would be filled with misery, anxiety, suffering, and regrets if they had no love. However, a person will be satisfied and happy when their heart is filled to the maximum with His love.
As stated in the Beautiful Name al-Wadūd, which can be translated as “The Most Loving,” love is an element of Allah’s essence. Because it is related to the word wudd or widd, which means fondness or amity, it might alternatively be interpreted as “The Affectionate.” This particular form of amicable love is differentiated from the broader Arabic terms for love, ḥubb or maḥabbah, even though these root words are sometimes used interchangeably. The name al-Wadūd was associated by many early Muslims with other Beautiful Names that symbolized Allah’s benevolence, like al-Raḥīm (the Merciful) and al-Ghafūr (the Forgiving).
Dua for Allah's Love
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ حُبَّكَ وَحُبَّ مَنْ يُحِبُّكَ وَالْعَمَلَ الَّذِي يُبَلِّغُنِي حُبَّكَ اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ حُبَّكَ أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ نَفْسِي وَأَهْلِي وَمِنَ الْمَاءِ الْبَارِدِ
“O Allah, indeed, I ask You for Your love and the love of those who love You, and for the action that will cause me to attain Your love, O Allah, make Your love more beloved to me than myself, my family and cold water”
‘Allāhumma innī as’aluka hubbaka wa hubba man yuhibbuka wal-‘amalalladhī yuballighuni hubbak. Allāhummajal hubbaka ahabba ilayya min nafsi, wa ahli wa minal-mā’il-bārid’
Jami’ at-Tirmidhi 3490
اللَّهُمَّ ارْزُقْنيِ حُبَّكَ وَحُبَّ مَنْ يـَنـْفَعُنيِ حُبُّهُ عِنْدَكَ ، اللَّهُمَّ مَا رَزَقـْتَنيِ ممَِّ ا أُحِ بُّ فَاجْعَلْهُ قـُوَّةً ليِ فِيمَا تحُِبُّ ، اللَّهُمَّ
زَوَيْتَ عَنيِّ ممَِّا أُحِ بُّ فَاجْعَلْهُ فـَرَاغًا ليِ فِيمَا تحُِبُّ
“O Allah, provide me with Your love and the love of those whose love will benefit me with You. O Allah, that which you have provided me of that
which I love, then make it strength for me in that which you love. O Allah, that which you have removed of what I love, then make it a free space for that which you love.”
