As-Salaam alaikum,
Some people have this idea that if they love Allah, Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, they will reap benefits, but this is self-interest, not love. Imam Rashid al-Din Maybudi, may Allah be Merciful to him, explains this point in his book titled: ' Kashf al-assar Wa'uddat al-abrar-Unveiling of The Mysteries', when he wrote that "when people choose someone for friendship, it is their habit to want every ease for their friend and not to let stormy winds blow over him. The Divine custom is contrary to this. whenever He chooses someone for friendship, He sends the drink of tribulation with the robe of love. When the rank of someone is higher in the station of love, his tribulation is greater. This is why the Prophet, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam, said, 'Surely the people most severely tried are the Prophets, then the Awliya, then the next best, then the next best'.

Wa Alaikumus-Salaam, As far as I know, the term 'Awliya' does not feature in this Hadith, unless you can show evidence that suggests otherwise. Look here (Sunan Ibn Majah 4023): And here (Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2398): When quoting a Hadith, it is highly important to be accurate, and to show evidence... do you agree? |

Jews and Christians read the Bible; Muslims don't.

Because of Muslim 9/11, America can't afford High Speed Rail like the Chinese have.
