Strong Believers Are Loved More By Allah

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمُؤْمِنُ الْقَوِيُّ خَيْرٌ وَأَحَبُّ إِلَى اللَّهِ مِنْ الْمُؤْمِنِ الضَّعِيفِ وَفِي كُلٍّ خَيْرٌ احْرِصْ عَلَى مَا يَنْفَعُكَ وَاسْتَعِنْ بِاللَّهِ وَلَا تَعْجَزْ وَإِنْ أَصَابَكَ شَيْءٌ فَلَا تَقُلْ لَوْ أَنِّي فَعَلْتُ كَانَ كَذَا وَكَذَا وَلَكِنْ قُلْ قَدَرُ اللَّهِ وَمَا شَاءَ فَعَلَ فَإِنَّ لَوْ تَفْتَحُ عَمَلَ الشَّيْطَانِ 

From Abu Hurairah RA he said;  "The Messenger of Allah SAW said: 'A strong believer is better and more loved by Allah SWT than a weak believer. There is goodness in each of them. Be eager to do things that benefit you and ask Allah for help, and don't feel lazy (a weak person). When a misfortune befalls you, then do not say: 'If' I had done this and that, it would not have become this and that'. But say: 'This is Allah's destiny and what He wills will surely be done. And stay away from saying 'If' (in case), because the expression 'If' (in case) opens up the opportunity for Satan to enter."

(HR Muslim No: 4816)

Status: Sahih Hadith 

Learnings:

1. A strong believer is better and more loved by Allah SWT than a weak believer. 

2. A believer who is strong and loved by Allah SWT is one who has a strong faith and is able to fulfill his obligations and fulfill his responsibilities. 

3. Weak believers do not fulfill their obligations and refuse to abandon what is unlawful.  People like this have shortcomings and are not liked by Allah SWT 

4. These two believers both have goodness.  A believer who is weak in faith, still has goodness and he is certainly better than an unbeliever. But believers who have strong faith are certainly better and more loved by Allah SWT. 

5. The Prophet SAW ordered us to be enthusiastic and earnest and ask Allah SWT for help in doing beneficial things whether related to religion or the world in order to become a better believer and more loved by Allah SWT. 

6.  Do not be lazy and aloof/disinterested in doing useful things because it becomes a source of failure. 

7. If something unpleasant happens, be contented with the fate with a calm heart so that our faith increases. 

8. Avoid saying "if" or "in case" because it will open up opportunities for Satan's incitement. 

Let us be merciful by being believers with strong faith.
