We all, in turn, should love him far more than our parents, children and friends ( 9:24). It is important to note that our love for the Holy Prophet sa is to our own benefit; it would in turn generate Divine love for us, thus opening the doors of unlimited spiritual progress for the believers (3:32, 4:70). A living example of this fact is found in the person of the Promised Messiah as who, ac- cording to his own statement, attained his grand status of the Promised Messiah solely due to his immense love for the Holy Prophet sa.
