Answer:
Best tabeyeen and love with
Allah
In the name of Allah, We praise
Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none
can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright.
We bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no person, no grave, no prophet, no imam,
no dai, nobody!) worthy of
worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad(saws) is His
slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
Beloved brother, we regret that
we have not read the above book and have no knowledge about its author or its
contents.
Q-2: who was the best tabein whose name was mentioned by our prophet mohammad (pbuh).
The term ‘tabe’en’ is generally
used for the generation of those people who saw the noble companions of the
Messenger of Allah (saws) in a state of belief. The Messenger of Allah (saws) had at least 100,000 companions or
‘sahabees’ who saw him in the state of belief,
and Allah Subhanah Alone knows how many ‘tabe’eens’ saw and learnt their
deen from the noble companions of the Messenger of Allah!
The Messenger of Allah (saws)
did not have the knowledge of the ‘unseen’,
and therefore it is inconceivable that he mentioned who the best
‘tabe’en’ would be after his death!
Q-3: The last question is what is the different `I love allah & I love with allah?
When someone declares that he
loves Allah Subhanah, it would mean he
recognizes his Creator, obeys and follows His appointed Messengers, obeys and
follows His Guidance, submits himself to the Will of his Merciful Lord, does whatever pleases his Lord, abstains from whatever displeases and angers
his Lord and Creator, and knows for sure that One Day he will be brought forth
to answer for his deeds in the Lord’s Presence! Such a person truly loves Allah Subhanah.
When someone declares ‘I love
with Allah’ it would mean that he loves the things, people, or acts, or rites,
or Signs, etc. which Allah Subhanah Himself Loves. For example, Allah Subhanah indeed loves His Messenger
(saws), thus the person who ‘loves with
Allah’ also loves the Messenger (saws)!
Or Allah Subhanah loves a righteous and pious believing slave who
worships Him Alone, thus the person who
‘loves with Allah’ also loves this pious and righteous believer!
Sahih Al-Bukhari
Hadith 4.431 Narrated by Abu
Huraira
The Prophet (saws)
said, "If Allah loves a person, He calls Jibrael (a.s.) saying, 'Allah
loves so and-so; O Jibrael! Love him.'
Hadrat Jibrael (a.s.) would love him, and make an announcement amongst
the inhabitants of the Heavens: 'Allah loves so-and-so, therefore you should
love him also,' and so all the inhabitants of the Heaven would love him, and then he is granted the pleasure of the
people on the earth."
Whatever written of Truth and
benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error
is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He
is the Only Source of Strength.
Your Brother in
Islam,
