Love is the strongest feeling living things can have.When we love some one we want to be with him/her all the time.Suddenly time shrinks when we are with our loved ones and same time stretch out when we are without them.
Sometimes we are given those things in life which we never asked for but they are worth it.And among those things,one of the most prestigious thing is ,Allah chose us to be from the nation of Mohammad S.A.W.It is his Blessing and mercy that the Lord of the heaven and the earth made you,me and us among the Ummah of Final Prophet (PBUH).
Yet Allah didn't give us the opportunity to be among the companions of Prophet Mohammad S.A.W in this duneya, But its up to us if we chose to be from the companion of Prophet Mohammad S.A.W in heaven. Don't you want to see righteous and alley's of God ? Pious Prophets like Ibrahim A.S ,Jesus A.S and noble companions like Abu Bakr Siddique R.A ,Umar Farooq R.A and so on.How many of us want to hug Prophet Mohammad S.A.W? We couldn't chose this to happen in this world but we can struggle and strive for it. A Hadith explains it all .
"A person will be with those whom he loves" (Bukhari).
Let me tell you a true story regarding the hadith.
There was a Companion of Prophet Mohammad S.A.W ,his name was Tauban R.A ,he was a slave freed by Prophet Mohammad S.A.W .Tauban (R.A) Had lot of love for his beloved Mater(Pbuh).He would look at Mohammad S.A.W face and forgot his troubles and worries .He used to daily visit Prophet of Islam (Pbuh) and get happy to see his(Pbuh) face.Once he couldn't see Prophet Mohammad (Pbuh) for few days and when he saw him(Pbuh) after several days, instead of getting happy he become more sad. Prophet Mohammad (Pbuh) felt there is something wrong with Tauban(R.A),So He(Pbuh) asked Tauban (R.A) what is it? why are you sad Tauban?
Tauban R.A explained "Oh Prophet of Allah,You don't know what happens to me when i don't see your face even for a day,and now I'm worried that on day of Judgement you will be with Allah Ta'ala, and his righteous Prophets and pious People ,I'm afraid i will go to hell,or even if i get lucky to go to heaven,but what I'm gonna do in heaven? how I'm gonna be happy in heaven when i cant be with you,I get sad by not seeing your face for one day,how I'm going to stay happy without it for my whole eternal life" and after this incident,few days later the following verses were revealed:
"And whoever obeys Allah and the Messenger - those will be with the ones upon whom Allah has bestowed favor of the prophets, the steadfast affirmers of truth, the martyrs and the righteous. And excellent are those as companions." 4:69
After reading those verses Tauban (R.A) got so happy and delighted.He got hope after this that he can be with Mohammad (Pbuh) .And when ever some one was reading chapter An-Nisa, He (R.A) would tell proudly,did you know the verse # 69 in chapter 4 was revealed because of me ? . Subhan Allah !
The Poet of east ,Allama Iqbal explained this thing in his poem "Jawab-e-Shiqwa"
Ki Muhammed (S.A.W.) Se Wafa Tu Ne Tau Hum Tere Hain
Yeh Jahan Cheez Hai Kya, Loh-o-Qalam Tere Haintranslation (To my Muhammad be but true, And you have conquered me;
The world is nothing you will command My Pen of Destiny.)
If you love Satan or devil,or the tyrants you will be with those in hell and if you love righeous people you will be with them in Heaven.So if you Love Prophet Mohammad S.A.W and all the Prophets of Allah and their companions then start obeying the commands of Allah and live your lifestyle the way they lived .And not only Allah will be pleased with you but he will also change the fate for you. I want to be with Prophet Mohammad S.A.W and his beloved companion Tauban R.A for whom the verse of Surah An-Nisa was revealed.May Allah forgive all of us and make us among the companions of Prophet Mohammad S.A.W in Jannah.
Ameen !
