LOVE ALLAH'S CREATIONS. Part 1. English translation of a talk by Mufti Taqi Usmani DB.
This Hadith has been narrated by Hazrat Abu Hurairah RAA, and in it he has narrated a number of sayings of the Holy Prophet ﷺ.
The very first sentence in this Hadith is that the person who relieves one of the hardships being faced by a Muslim in this world, either through his actions, or through getting him help from someone else, this act will earn so much eternal reward for him that in return Allah Ta’ala will remove one of the distresses of the Day of Judgment from him.
In the second sentence the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said that if a person provides relief to a poor person, then Allah Ta’ala will provide relief for him both in this world and the Hereafter.
In Quran Karim Allah Ta’ala has said,
“If there is one in misery, then (the creditor should allow) deferment till (his) ease, and that you forgo it as alms is much better for you, if you really know.” (2: 280)
It means if a borrower is unable to repay the loan on time then the lender should give him extension till his circumstances change and he can easily repay the loan. And if the lender foregoes his loan due to a poor borrower completely, then Allah Ta’ala will count it as charity.
In a Hadith, the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said that for as long as a person remains busy fulfilling his brother’s needs, Allah Ta’ala will keep fulfilling his needs. (Abu Daud, Kitab al-Adab)
In another Hadith, the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said that on the day of Qiyamah (Day of Doom) Allah Ta’ala will relieve misery and suffering of whoever has removed the suffering of another Muslim in this world.
In a Hadith, the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said that Rahman (one of Allah’s names) is kind to those who are kind to other human beings. If you are kind to those who live on this earth, the One who owns the skies (meaning Allah Ta’ala) will be kind to you.
A person cannot claim to love Allah Ta’ala, and not love His creations. That is the meaning of this verse about Tasawuf;
ز تسبیح و سجاده و دلق نیست
طریقت بجز خدمتِ خلق نیست
meaning that people believe that Tasawuf means always carrying a tasbeeh in one’s hand, always sitting on a prayer mat, wearing a certain kind of dress, but that is not true Tasawuf or Tareeqat. Tasawuf and Tareeqat is nothing but serving and helping Allah’s creations. Allah Ta’ala says that if you claim to love Me, then love My creations and serve them.
