suppose ur father is very honest, kind and rich person. if he asks you to give him ur salary for one year but you can take for ur basic needs. after one year he will give you blank cheque so that you can have your own villa, car, iphone and whtever u like.
he also says that he doesnt need ur money but he only wants to test ur love for him. will u give loan to him?
well...it is not a question but just a simile.
Allah is All-Loving, All-Rich. He wants us to serve Him in this life of few years. [we are allowed to fulfill our needs and have halaal fun too.] After that He has prepared Paradise to enjoy forever. He do not need our worship but He wants us to love Him as our Creator, Sustainer and Master. will we give loan to Him?
Anyone, male or female, who does right actions and is a believer, will enter the Garden. They will not be wronged by so much as the tiniest speck. (Surat an-Nisa': 124)
Read the initial statement of giving a loan to one's father if ever they should ask for it.
My thoughts are that of course I'd do so.
Then saw the comparison.
I don't quite understand the analagy in this sense, but I get the gist of what you're saying.
Jazakallah for writing this.
See here's the problem. How can you give you're father a loan when he owns your wealth?
A said to the Prophet (saaws): O Messenger of Allah, I have wealth and a son, and my father wants to take all my wealth. He said, "You and your wealth belong to your father." [Narrated by Ibn Maajah (2291) and Ibn Hibbaan in his Saheeh from the hadeeth of Jaabir, and by Ahmad (6902)]
And verily for everything that a slave loses there is a substitute, but the one who loses Allah will never find anything to replace Him.” [Related by Ibn al-Qayyim in ad-Dâ' wad-Dawâ Fasl 49]
