None of you can become a true believer [Mu`min] until I am dearer to him than his parents, children and all the people.[1]
Undoubtedly, this is how a Muslim should have reverence and love for the Noblest Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم because this is the most valuable asset of his life.

Dear Islamic brothers! The deep devotion of
Ameer-ul-Mu`mineen Sayyiduna ‘Umar Farooq-e-A’zam رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ towards
the Revered and Renowned Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is beyond any description!
He رَضِىَ
اللهُ عَـنْهُ would
become restless whenever he رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ remembered the Noble Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and would shed tears due to the separation
from the Holy Rasool
صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ
