one’s needs.’ (Tafseer Qurtubi, Part 3, Surah Aal-e-Imraan, Taht-al-Ayah: 2, vol. 31, p. 47, selected)

Dear Islamic brothers! Having devotion towards the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has additional requirements, for example:

   *One requirement of devotion towards the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is that Allah Almighty and His Messenger صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم be loved.

   *They should be remembered in abundance.

   *After hearing their words, they should be adopted and spread to others.

   *The city, offspring, companions and Ahl-ul-Bayt رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُم of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, in fact, his every action should be loved.

   *The Quran should be recited, understood and acted upon.

   *One’s life should be lived in accordance to the Sunnah.

   *The life and character of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم should be adopted as one’s own.

   *Not even a single Salah should be missed.

   *To refrain from lying.

   *To avoid backbiting and tale-telling.

   *To avoid every action which has been prohibited by Allah Almighty and His Beloved صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.

If only we are given the ability to live and die in true devotion. اٰمین
