Diamonds are not girls bestfriend

'She described how it felt to be with the person she loved.
In her words, the whole world disappeared when they were
together. The more I reflected on her statement, the more
it affected me, and the more it made me wonder.

As humans, we are made to feel love and attachment
towards others. This is part of our human nature. While we can
feel this way about another human being, five times a day we enter
into a meeting with our Lord and Creator. I wondered how often
we ever felt the whole world disappear while in His presence.

Can we really claim that our love for Allah is greater than our love
for anyone and anything else? '

Assalamualaikum Silent reader(s) ;-)

The above passages are taken from Yasmin's book, Reclaim Your Heart.
After reading the whole passage, it really made me think.

' Can we really claim that our love for Allah is greater than our love
for anyone and anything else? '

and this sentence really hits me...... to the core.

Can we .. really claim it?
Cus actions speaks louder than words.

Can we really say its a YES,
when most of us (including myself)...
put other things first instead of our Creator, 
and only come to Him when we are in hardship,
and forget Him when we are in ease,
and do the things that we weren't supposed to do,
Can we really?

The answer is an ambiguous one.

Ofcourse, we can say that our love for Allah is great.
And, Insha Allah it will be greater than our love for anything else,
if we become a better servant and are willing to do anything 
for our Almighty God, Allah.
