"Oh Allah, give me junuuni ishq of my shaykh". Make me love my shaykh at the level of junuun. At the level of madness."
❤❤❤
-The dua given by Shaykh Mushtaq Ahmad (db) to our shaykh, Shaykh Mustafa Kamal (db) and are recommended for us to make the same dua' as well
The Prophet (saws) said that you should love Allah (Jalla Jalaluhu) until people say that you are majnun (mad). This does not mean actual madness/insanity, but indicates intensity of love, same as is required in the ayah, "wallazeena aamanu ashaddu hubban lillah" (the believers are intense in their love for Allah).
And we are taught that love for the Shaykh and love for the Prophet (saws) are all necessary precursors to love for Allah, so the more intense our love for our Shaykh, the more intense will be our love for the Prophet (saws) and the more intense will be our love for Allah (swt). The real objective is love for Allah (swt) but we cannot truly achieve that until we love the Prophet (saws) and we cannot truly achieve that until we love our Shaykh.
