Question:
Ego is basically a self centered love, installed in human babies, such that they survive their early time of their life. Human babies are very weak creations. The idea is the baby should out grow the ego or convert the self centered love into the love for its parents, and then into the love for the opposite sex and in the final form into the love for Allah. The fruit of the love for Allah is the love for Nabi s.a.w. : obey Allah, obey Nabi; love for Allah by loving Nabi, the most beloved creation, which loves his ummat very much. The second fruit is love for his shaykh, which will guide him to the presence of Nabi s.a.w. The third fruit is the love for all creations li Allah Ta’Ala. Can we consider this as one of the many interpretations of Surat Ibrahim ayat 24 and 25?
Answer:
It is possible, and Allah knows best.
