Siyah Faam Ghulam | Dark-Skinned Slave
tremendously positive change in the life of a wicked man. Thus, you also develop the mindset of keeping the company of the good and having affection for them forever. Fortunate travellers of Madanī Qāfilaĥ are blessed with reaping these two blessings. The devotion to pious people is quite amazing! But the aim of this devotion should only be to please Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. The love due to some worldly or financial benefits or someone’s endearing qualities, interesting talks, wealth, beauty and grace is not the love for the sake of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. Even the love for parents, children, or any other relatives due to blood relations does not bring reward until one does not have the intention of pleasing Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. While elaborating “the love for Allah’s sake”, a renowned exegetist Muftī Aḥmad Yār Khān عَـلَيْهِ رَحْمَةُ الـرَّحْمٰن has said, “One should love a person only to please Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, not for any worldly benefits, and it should be free from ostentation. It includes the love for parents, children, relatives and all Muslims provided one loves them for the pleasure of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. As for the love for saints (رَحِمَهُمُ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَالٰی) and Prophets (عَـلَيْـهِمُ الـصَّلٰوة ُ وَالـسَّلَام), سُـبْحٰـنَ الـلّٰــه عَزَّوَجَلَّ it is the highest standard of love (for the sake of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ). May Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ bless us with it!” (Mirāt, vol. 6, pp. 584)

1. Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ will say on the Day of Judgment, “Where are those who loved each other due to my Jalāl (majesty). Today I will keep them under My shelter. There is no other shelter today except for Mine.” (Muslim, pp. 1388, Ḥadīš 2566)
