Successful indeed are the believers, those who are humble and fully present in their prayer.
People hear "you must love the Prophet ﷺ" and freeze.
How can you command an emotion? How do you force yourself to feel something for someone you've never met?
The Prophet ﷺ is the only truly universal prophet. Every prophet before him was sent to his people. He was sent to all peoples and all of creation. Which means everyone finds their way in him.
The melancholic finds moments of quiet reflection. The warrior finds courage and discipline. The father finds tenderness like when the Prophet ﷺ cradled his child who had passed away, eyes weeping, heart breaking, yet still in complete submission to Allah. Or the protector finds him riding his horse at night, sword drawn, rushing toward danger when Madinah was rumored to be under attack, arriving before anyone else.
These aren't just stories. They're doorways.
Islam doesn't force you to become someone else. It unlocks who you already are. And the Prophet ﷺ is the guide.
But beyond the stories, there's implementation.
We're beings that crave ritual.
The Sunnah gives you sacred rhythm. Enter your home with the right foot. Drink with your right hand. Say Bismillah before you eat. These are paths to presence.
Simple acts become anchors. When you live like him, entering rooms, eating meals, lying down to sleep the way he did, you're constantly with him.
The scholars call it maʿiyya: togetherness. You start living with the Prophet ﷺ in your daily life, not just in your imagination.
That's how love grows.

Trucks carrying humanitarian aid enter the crossing into the Gaza Strip.
Israeli troops intensified searches in northern Gaza for the remains of the last hostage, with the Rafah crossing still closed and humanitarian access tightly constrained. Aid groups and families are holding out hope that reopening Rafah soon will restore a critical lifeline for medical evacuations and supplies.
Rafah crossing is expected to reopen next week, according to a Palestinian official, after being largely shut during the war, a shift that could ease shortages and allow more people to move for urgent care. Local responders say even a partial reopening can rapidly multiply relief impact when fuel, water, and medicines are able to flow more consistently.
UNRWA teams continued life saving services as humanitarian needs remain extreme, including support in shelters and essential assistance despite access constraints. UN partners also reported thousands of aid pallets offloaded at Gaza crossings in recent days, a sign that sustained coordination still translates into tangible relief when entry points function.

“And withhold [even] simple assistance.”
Wa yamnaʿūna al-māʿūn
"Al-Māʿūn": Small acts of kindness, like lending tools, utensils, or helping others.
They refuse to do even basic, low-effort good deeds.
The hypocrite fails not just in major acts, but in basic decency, a reflection of a hardened heart.
