Giving preference to what He likes over what you like, at the times in which the whims overcome you, and seeking what He likes even if it is difficult.

This is the rank of Ithar, and its superior status is for the messengers of Allah (prayers and peace of Allah be upon them), and the superior of this status is for the Messengers of strong will, and the superior among those is our Prophet, Muhammad (prayers and peace of Allah be upon him). And all of that could not be attained without three things:
1- Defeating the whims of the self.
2- Doing the contrary to the whims of the self.
3- Fighting Satan and his supporters. … More 10 REASONS FOR GAINING THE LOVE OF ALLAH – HOW DO I GAIN THE LOVE OF MY CREATOR
One of the most important qualifications and merits that the sahaba of rasulAllah (peace be upon him) had, was first and foremost the name sahaba.

One of the most common things that Muslims are faced with daily, IS ANTI MUSLIM PROPAGANDA. And unlike the Jews who label anything resembling critique of Israel or the Jewish fate as ANTI SEMMITISM, the poor old Muslims just take it on the chin and plot along.
Allah Subhanaahu Wa Ta’ala has informed us that there will always be people who intend to misrepresent Islam and make it appear evil. Our modern term for this is “Islamophobia,” which means spreading fear and hatred of Islam. Most people who are against Islam have simply been given misinformation and we should help to provide them with an accurate view of Islam, while others deliberately slander the religion even after they know the truth. … More ANTI MUSLIM PROPAGANDA – HOW DO I DEAL WITH SO MUCH ANTI MUSLIM SENTIMENT – I CAN’T COPE WITH THE PRESSURE OF BEING A MUSLIM – MOVEMENTS AGAINST ISLAM – ISLAMOPHOBIA

As much as a Muslim learns about Islam and the beauty of it, the more a Muslim fears about falling in to the abyss of the Hellfire.
An imprtant aspect of Islam that is most abused these daysis the knowledge of kufr and it’s types. This knowledge is not acquired so that one becomes judgemental of others, rather it becomes a tool to keep oneself from falling in to it, and we seek the Help of Allah from the evils of our own souls and the accursed shaitan.
And as for the Major Kufr (kufr akbar) – then it is of five types :Kufr of takdheeb (rejection), kufr due to arrogance and pride whilst one acknowledges the truth (tasdeeq), kufr of I’raad (turning away), kufr of shakk (doubts) and kufr of nifaaq (hypocrisy). … More IBN AL-QAYYIM ON TYPES OF KUFR – MADARIJ US-SALIKEEN PAGES 335-338 – TRANSLATED TO ENGLISH
