Yearning for Allah

Hazrat Thanwi (rahimahullah) would take an oath saying, “By Allah! Anyone who truly yearned for Allah from the bottom of their heart, with sincerity, definitely that person would reach Him.” The sad thing is that we don’t really yearn for Him and strive for Him with sincerity, that is why we are deprived of His love. May Allah Ta`ala grant us all true sincerity for Him.
