Our faith in Allah is the first and most important sign that Allah loves us. If we have a deep and sincere belief in Allah, it indicates that Allah loves us. Pleasing Allah is one way to improve your relationship with Allah and feel confident that He is pleased with you. The Quran is the most important Book in Islam, and every believer needs to read and study it. Regularly reading and studying the Quran increases our knowledge of Islam and shows our devotion to Allah. Allah says:

قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ اللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ

“Say: He is Allah, The One and Only.”Allah, the Eternal, Absolute.” He begets not, nor is He begotten. And there is none like unto Him.” (Surah Al-Ikhlas 112:1-4)

To please Allah, we must maintain a strong relationship with Him. This can be achieved by performing obligatory prayers, seeking His forgiveness, and doing other acts of worship. If Allah loves you, He will give you opportunities to do good and earn rewards. Being honest, kind, and just to others is essential to pleasing Allah. This means treating others with respect, compassion, and fairness. Allah has reserved a special reward for those who are kind and gentle. Allah says:

اتْلُ مَا أُوحِيَ إِلَيْكَ مِنَ الْكِتَابِ وَأَقِمِ الصَّلَاةَ إِنَّ الصَّلَاةَ تَنْهَىٰ عَنِ الْفَحْشَاءِ وَالْمُنكَرِ وَلَذِكْرُ اللَّهِ أَكْبَرُ

“Recite what has been revealed to you of the Book and establish prayer. Verily, prayer prohibits immorality and wrongdoing, but the remembrance of Allah is greater.” (Surah Al-Ankabut 29:45)

One of the best ways to please Allah is by performing good deeds. Good deeds are actions that benefit others and show our devotion to Allah. Examples of good deeds that please Allah include helping the poor and needy, being kind to others, and giving charity. If you feel a sense of guidance in your life, whether it be through a mentor or a personal experience, know that it is a sign of Allah’s love for you and a means to help you navigate through life’s challenges.

Here are some reasons to put our trust in Allah and depend on Him:

In Islam, the remembrance of Allah refers to keeping Allah at the forefront of one’s mind and heart, and constantly striving to maintain a connection with Him throughout all life. This can be done through various means, such as reciting His names and attributes, performing acts of worship, reflecting on His signs in nature, and living according to His guidance as laid out in the Quran and the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

Here are some signs that you love someone for Allah’s sake:

• You are not upset if there is a lack of commitment: Friendships based on love for Allah are nourished and grown by a divine source.
• A constant remembering of Allah: Your reward lies solely with Allah, and you know this and don’t expect anything from people in general.
• You have no expectations from them: When you love someone for His sake, you don’t need them to return your favours or reciprocate.
• You are happy when you see them happy. Good friends will consult the Quran and Hadith when they disagree. And if even then they still do, that’s okay.
• You give them your good word: Letting them know you appreciate them and what they do gives them the motivation to continue doing great things for Allah’s sake.

Islam guides mankind to see the signs of Allah, and Allah Almighty says in the Holy Quran:

• “Allah is the doer of all that He intends.” (Quran 85:16)
• “Allah is never unjust in the least degree.” (Quran 4:40)
• “There is nothing whatever like unto Him.” (Quran 42:11)
• “Have taqwa of Allah so that you might succeed.” (Quran 3:200)
• “Remember Allah often that you may succeed.” (Al-Jumuah 62:10)
• “But sufficient is your Lord as a Guide and Helper.” (Quran 25:31)
• “Deaf, dumb, and blind, They will not return (to the path).” (Quran 2:18)
• “And on the earth are signs (ayat) for the certain (in faith).” (Quran 51: 20)
• “Allah – there is no deity except Him. To Him belong the best names.” (Quran 20:8)

In Islam, seeking forgiveness means turning back to God and seeking His mercy and forgiveness for any mistakes, sins, or transgressions committed. This is done through repentance, asking for forgiveness, and resolving to avoid committing the same wrongs in the future. In Islam, helping others is considered a fundamental aspect of faith and a way to fulfil one’s duty to God. This can take many forms, such as giving charity, volunteering, showing kindness to others, and standing up for justice and the rights of the oppressed. Allah says:

إِنَّهُمْيَكِيدُونَكَيْدًاوَأَكِيدُكَيْدًافَمَهِّلِالْكَافِرِينَأَمْهِلْهُمْرُوَيْدًا

“Verily, they are planning a plan and I am planning a plan. So give respite to the unbelievers, deal gently with them for a while.” (Surah At-Tariq 86:15-17)

Allah loves those who are grateful for His blessings. It is a sign that Allah loves you if you receive abundant blessings in life, such as good health, wealth, and family. If Allah guides you towards the right path, it shows His love for you. We ask Allah to beautify our manners with kindness and to protect us from falling into harshness. So, always be thankful to Allah for the blessings He bestows upon you, and remember to use them for good. Allah says:

وَقَالَ رَبُّكُمُ ادْعُونِي أَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ عَنْ عِبَادَتِي سَيَدْخُلُونَ جَهَنَّمَ دَاخِرِينَ

“And, your Lord, “Call upon Me; I will respond to you. Indeed, those who are proud to worship Me will enter Hell in humiliation.”  (Surah Ghafir 40:60)

Thus, everything needs a maker or a creator; nothing can come into existence without there being an originator: the creator. Allah promises to provide for the believer from where he does not expect. We trust in Allah in all things, no matter their worldly affairs or related to Deen. We have to rely on Allah because without His permission, nothing could happen or occur. Tawakkul is the source of contentment, ease, and protection.
