عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ خَادِمِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه و سلم عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه و سلم قَالَ:

"لَا يُؤْمِنُ أَحَدُكُمْ حَتَّى يُحِبَّ لِأَخِيهِ مَا يُحِبُّ لِنَفْسِهِ".

رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ [رقم: 13]، وَمُسْلِمٌ [رقم: 45].
[رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ] ، [وَمُسْلِمٌ]

On the authority of Abu Hamzah Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) — the servant of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) — that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

None of you [truly] believes until he loves for his brother that which he loves for himself. [Al-Bukhari] [Muslim]

 

Summary of DIscussion

This hadith is especially mentioned about "love" which is familiar to everyone, here are some aspects of love in Islam: 

  • Family relationships
    Islam places great importance on family bonds and the expression of love within the family unit. The Prophet Muhammad emphasized the importance of treating family members with kindness and affection. 
  • Muslim relationship
    Love in Islamic thought is not just a feeling of affection or physical attraction, but also devotion, loyalty, and a desire to draw closer to God. 
  • Human relationship
    Certainly Islam recommends Muslims to love people and optimise compassionate and sincere relationship with them, even if they do not believe in Islam or in God. 
     

There are 3 main topics we discussed from this Hadith such as:

1. Who should we love the most in Islam?

Loving Allah and then the Prophet Muhammad is, without doubt, a requirement and the sign of true faith in our religion of Islam.
Allah Most High says, “If your parents, and your children, and your siblings, and your spouses, and your relatives, and the wealth you have acquired, and a business you worry about, and homes you love, are dearer to you than God, and His Messenger, and the struggle in His cause, then wait until God executes His judgment. God does not guide the sinful people. [Quran 9:24]

After that, our parents, spouses, relatives, friends, all the human being and even the things we like should receive the love we have because love is not divided like a "Pizza." Every aspects can be considered as something we love because it is unlimited, we can love as many things as possible without reducing the portion of others.

2. Law - Morality - Love

Law refers to a set of formal rules and regulations enforced by a governing authority, while morality deals with principles and values that guide individual behaviour and are often linked to cultural, religious, or personal beliefs. Above all, the highest position is "Love."

3. Giving others what we love the most

The Qur'an reminds us that there is a “recognised right, for the needy and deprived” over our wealth (70:24-5), so by giving for the sake of others, a Muslim is fulfilling a duty to those in need and preventing him or her from becoming proud of their own generosity. This is associated with the words in this hadith "... until he loves for his brother that which he loves for himself." So, when we give to others, we should consider what we like the most like giving the food we also eat, the kind of clothes we also wear and etc.
