Nothing escapes Allah's knowledge therefore , the wise are those who act accordingly. They feel His presence all the time. They carefully perform all their obligatory duties ( Fard) then they piously try to make up for any of the inevitable deficiences by doing voluntary acts. These voluntary acts help to protect the obligatory duties because some of their obligatory duties are likely to be discarded , or neglected. The more someone strengthens his obligatory practices by performing voluntary acts, the more his life conforms to the Sharee'ah. Allah conveyed this principle through the Prophet in a hadeeth saying " The most beloved thing with which my Slave may come close to me is that which i have made obligatory on him.My servant will continue to come closer to me by voluntary acts of worship , until I love him.If i love him , I will be his hearing by which he hears, his sight by which he sees , his hands by which he grasps, and his foot by which he walks.if he ask Me anything i would give it and if he seeks refuge in Me , i would protect him" The only thing we can do after reading this is being........speechless ! Ma sha Allah What a strong hadeeth ! I guess this will help us being closer to Allah.... This Walee of Allah would only hear , see , grasp and walk to what is Halal ( lawful) while avoiding all the Haram ( prohibited). Allah also said in the Qu'ran : " Say , if you love Allah , follow Me ( Muhammad) and Allah will love you" ( Surat al 'Imran (3:31) Hence , Allah's love can only be attained by strictly following the directives ( Sunnah) of His Apostle and of course , by carefully avoiding all innovations in religious matters. A hadeeth reported by Abu Najeeh from the Prophet " Keep to my Sunnah and that of the rightly guided caliphs.Bite on to it with your molars and beware of innovations for verily they are all Bid'ah (heresy) , and heresy is misguidance which leads to the hell fire" ( collected by Abu Dawood) One who strictly follows this principle will only listen to what Allah wishes for him to listen to. By him listening only to what Allah wishes for him to hear , Allah has metaphorically become his hearing, in a similar way , Allah becomes his sight , hands and feet. This is the correct interpretation of the previously mentioned.
