Yes faith in its proper and sincere experience is the ultimate gift in this life. One needs to make the efforts to learn its correct definition in the Quran and Sunnah (Traditions of Prophet Mohammed) and to apply both internal and external expressions related to preserving and growing the faith.
No philosophical discussion, scientific definition, historical event can define the experience and movement of faith. Each one of us experiences faith in a different way and in different circumstances, but ultimately it has the same purpose, how to please our Creator and enjoy, therefore, the peace and happiness that we seek desperately.
A close example is the love that two people can share. It is about the kind of emotion and attachment that drives one person to forget himself or herself to please the beloved, or to truly be happy for the blessings that the beloved is favored with. It is not only about passion or desire. When we transpose this to our relation with our Creator, the dimension changes form earthly to heavenly and from temporary to eternal…[1]
Because there is nothing in this life that can compare or match the Love of Allah and rewards that await His servant when that servant struggles by His Grace to please Him.[2]
It is the finest of all blessings to be inspired to participate in any event that supports spreading knowledge and understanding of the Creator’s message and the Prophet that conveyed it.
وَمَنْ أَحْسَنُ قَوْلًا مِمَّنْ دَعَا إِلَى اللَّهِ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا وَقَالَ إِنَّنِي مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ
And who is better in speech than one who invites to Allah and does righteousness and says, “Indeed, I am of the Muslims. [41:33] Saheeh International
The common knowledge learned during research in these Da’wah (invitation to Allah) centers is that most of the reasons people choose to research or embrace Islam or “revert to Islam” is because of how some Muslims behaved with them ( In a positive kind manner ). And this brings us to the most important point of this research.
[1]Some Quran Verses about Love
“And hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together and do not become divided. And remember the favor of Allah upon you – when you were enemies and He brought your hearts together and you became, by His favor, brothers. And you were on the edge of a pit of the Fire, and He saved you from it. Thus, does Allah make clear to you His verses that you may be guided.” [3:103] Saheeh International
“Those who spend [in the cause of Allah] during ease and hardship and who restrain anger and who pardon the people – and Allah loves the doers of good;” [3:134] Saheeh International
“So by mercy from Allah, [O Muhammad], you were lenient with them. And if you had been rude [in speech] and harsh in heart, they would have disbanded from around you. So pardon them and ask forgiveness for them and consult them in the matter. And when you have decided, then rely upon Allah. Indeed, Allah loves those who rely [upon Him].” [3:159] Saheeh International
“And of His signs is that He created for you from yourselves mates that you may find tranquillity in them; and He placed between you affection and mercy. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought.” [30:21] Saheeh International
