Allah Ta’ala

We must love Allah Ta’ala more than everything. When we say more than everything, it means more than our parents, wife, children, wealth, job, commerce and ourselves.

To love Allah Ta’ala more than everything means that love and attachment of these things should not make us disobey Allah Ta’ala. All the benefits that we have received are the blessings of Allah Ta’ala. If we try to be grateful to Allah Ta’ala for His favours, we will not be able to, because it is beyond calculation. If we do Ibaadaat morning and evening and fast every day, we will still be indebted to Allah Ta’ala. Allah Ta’ala does not owe anyone anything. Everything that He does is only His favour and kindness.

Allah Ta’ala is not obliged to grant Jannah to a person, who remains in Ibaadah all the time. He will get Jannah solely by the grace of Allah Ta’ala. If Allah Ta’ala does not grant him Jannah, it is not injustice. Nonetheless, in general, Allah Ta’ala has promised to grant Jannah to the one who submits to His command.

So, we are all in debt to Allah Ta’ala! Allah Ta’ala is not in debt to anyone!
