Hating for Allah (SWT) –
After the Battle of Badr was over and the non-Muslims were defeated, the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, ordered the bodies of the non-Muslims to be placed in an old well. Abu Hudhaifah Bin Utbah, may Allah be pleased with him, became visibly sad when he witnessed his dead non-Muslim father. When the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, questioned his reaction, he replied that he did not have doubts about his faith but was sad as he desired for his father to accept Islam and not die in disbelief. The Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, did not rebuke him and instead spoke comforting words to him. This has been discussed in Imam Safi Ur Rahman’s, The Sealed Nectar, Page 226.
This indicates the importance of not hating non-Muslims but to instead desire and hope good for them while remaining firm on the teachings of Islam.
In a Hadith found in Sunan Abu Dawud, number 4681, the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, advised the characteristics which perfect a Muslim’s faith.
One of these characteristics is to hate for the sake of Allah, the Exalted. This means one should dislike the things Allah, the Exalted, dislikes such as His disobedience. It is important to note, this does not mean one should hate others, as people can sincerely repent to Allah, the Exalted. Instead a muslim should dislike the sin itself which is proven by them avoiding it and warning others against it also. Muslims should continue to advise others instead of breaking ties with them, as this act of kindness may well cause them to sincerely repent. This includes not disliking things based on one’s own feelings, such as an action, which is lawful. Finally the proof of one disliking for the sake of Allah, the Exalted, is that when they show their dislike through their words and actions it will never be in a way which contradicts the teachings of Islam. Meaning, their dislike for something will never cause them to commit a sin, as this would prove that their dislike for something is for their own sake.
In addition, the main event under discussion also indicates the importance of accepting that Islam will, at times, demand muslims to contradict their desires for their own sake. In these cases, a muslim must behave like a wise patient which accepts and acts on the medical advice of their doctor knowing it is best for them even though they are prescribed bitter medicines and a strict diet plan. The same way this wise patient with achieve good physical health, the one who accepts and acts on Islamic teachings will achieve peace of mind and body in both worlds, as they will achieve a balanced mental and physical state and correctly place everything and everyone within their life. One must bear in mind that Allah, the Exalted, alone possesses the knowledge to provide the code of conduct a person needs to achieve peace of mind and body. Whereas, all man-made codes of conduct will never lead to this outcome as they will always lack in knowledge, experience, foresight and due to biases.
