The Prophet (P.B.U.H.) vividly illustrated an enlightening encounter
between two companions:
"One individual embarked on a journey to visit a friend residing in
another town. In the course of his journey, an angel was stationed on his path.
The angel inquired, 'Where are you headed?' He responded, 'I am going to visit
my brother in that village.' The angel then asked, 'Do you have any specific
entitlement or favor that you are seeking from him?' The man replied, 'No, I am
merely visiting him because I love him for the sake of God.' The angel then
said, 'Know that God has sent me to you with the glad tidings that He loves you
as you love him for His sake.'"
Additionally, the Prophet (P.B.U.H.) stated that on the Day of
Resurrection, when no shade will be available except the shade of the Divine
Throne, seven categories of individuals will be sheltered under it. Among them
will be two individuals who loved one another purely for the sake of God. Their
bond was rooted in the love of God, and they remained united and parted in that
same love. Their friendship was sustained solely for God's sake, and even in
separation, their bond endured.
On one
occasion, Allah (The Almighty) spoke to the Prophet (P.B.U.H.), saying,
"Ask!" The Prophet (P.B.U.H.) then supplicated:
"O
Lord, I seek from You the capacity to perform virtuous deeds, the strength to
avoid sinful actions, a love for the poor, and that You forgive me and have
mercy upon me. And when You intend to inflict punishment upon a people, grant
me safety and protect me. I seek Your love, and the love of those who love You,
and the ability to engage in actions that draw me closer to You."

Dedicated to those scientists, who are inching towards the cognizance of the facts, spotlighted by Allah Almighty, in the wake of their intelligent observation for the top vertex of scientific achievement, which is not other than the "Disastrous end of the Universe".
