The heart that is empty of love and longing for Allah, and of seeking closeness to Him.
Loving Allah without following His orders or seeking His pleasure.
A heart that is separated from the love, desire and intimacy with Allah:
1. How is it possible for the da`wah carrier to be empty of love for Allah (swt)?
2. How can a sign (`alamah) of love of Allah be to avoid following his commands? A sign of love is obedience.[10]
3. He/she must be constantly infused and invigorated by the love of Allah – prepared to offer his/her life for Him.[11]
4. His/her heart must be developed and nourished by remembering[12] and contemplating on the attributes and extreme love, mercy and benevolence[13] Allah has for His creatures and how He helps and intervenes in protecting those struggling in His path.
5. Allah desires a reciprocal intimacy with His servants and a da`wah carrier must burn with desire for this.
6. Should our hearts be buried in the love of things (cars, clothes, gadgets…), objects, wealth, the benefits of the dunya, etc. or should it be enveloped in the love and longing of Allah and His Messenger (saw)?
7. Should love of the dunya eclipse our love for Allah?
