Please provide for me the explanation of this verse:
Surah 9 Verse 24
Surat At-Tawbah [9:24] - The Noble Qur’an - ??? ???
Say, [O Muhammad], “If your fathers, your sons, your brothers, your wives, your relatives, wealth which you have obtained, commerce wherein you fear decline, and dwellings with which you are pleased are more beloved to you than Allah and His Messenger and jihad in His cause, then wait until Allah executes His command. And Allah does not guide the defiantly disobedient people.”
And this hadith:
Narated By 'Abdullah bin Hisham : We were with the Prophet and he was holding the hand of 'Umar bin Al-Khattab. 'Umar said to Him, “O Allah’s Apostle! You are dearer to me than everything except my own self.” The Prophet said,“No, by Him in Whose Hand my soul is, (you will not have complete faith) till I am dearer to you than your own self.” Then 'Umar said to him, “However, now, by Allah, you are dearer to me than my own self.” The Prophet said, “Now, O 'Umar, (now you are a believer).”

You are not required to love RasoolAllah (SAW) more than Allah (SWT). The love for Allah (SWT) must also be more than all things … some people choose not to distinguish the amount of love between loving RasoolAllah (SAW) and Allah (SWT), but I feel it is safer to say that after Allah (SWT) you must love no one more than RasoolAllah (SAW). Yes, even the mother …
This is a basic fundamental aspect of Islam …
