Humility opens the door to Allah’s nearness: Ansar from USA’s Gulf States meet Huzoor True love for the Holy Prophet (sa) lies in obedience
Islamabad, Tilford, UK, 21 April 2026: Members of Majlis Ansarullah from the Gulf States Region of the United States were blessed with a mulaqat with Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, Khalifatul Masih V (aa). During the meeting, all attendees had
the opportunity to introduce themselves before seeking guidance from Huzoor (aa) on matters relating to spiritual love, humility, Jumuah, brotherhood, civic duties, peaceful protest and personal reform.
A member asked how one could develop deep love for Allah, the Holy Prophet (sa), the Promised Messiah (as) and the Khulafa, in the way one feels love for parents and sometimes sees them in dreams after their passing. Huzoor (aa) explained that the bond with parents develops naturally over many years, from childhood onwards and that this personal attachment brings comfort. However, he said that seeing someone in a dream is not the real objective. Referring to the guidance of the Promised Messiah (as), Huzoor (aa) explained that even seeing the Holy Prophet (sa) in a dream is not, in itself, the highest virtue; the real virtue is to act upon his commandments, teachings and blessed example.

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (ra) narrated, “I heard Allah’s Messenger (sa) say, ‘Whoever gives a pair of anything in the way of Allah will be called from the gates [of Paradise]. [It will be said:] “O servant of Allah, [come here]; this is good.” Whoever is among the people of salat will be called from the Gate of Salat; whoever is among the people of jihad will be called from the Gate of Jihad; whoever is among the people of charity will be called from the Gate of Charity; and whoever is among the people of fasting will be called from the Gate of Fasting, the Gate of ar-Rayyan.’” Hazrat Abu Bakr (ra) said, “The one who is called from those gates will have no need [of anything else].” He then asked, “O Allah’s Messenger (sa), will anyone be called from all of them?” He replied, “Yes; and I hope that you, O Abu Bakr, will be among them.” (Sahih al-Bukhari, Kitab fada’ili ashabi n-nabiyy, Bab qawli n-nabiyyi ‘Law kuntu muttakhidhan khalilan’ qalahu abu sa‘id, Hadith 3666)
