Asalaam O alaikum.... Jazak Alla khayr for asking and starting this thread. Welcome bro!
You know I know this hadith from our Beloved Messenger of Allah (SallAllahu Alaihi Wassallam) who said that "I have come not but to perfect character." ...and also that "The heaviest thing on scales on the Day of Judgment will be beautiful character."
...and SubhanAllah it is not easy for me. I wish to achieve the meaning of the Hadith. One of Shams Tabrezi's rule on love is his saying...
It’s easy to love a perfect God, unblemished and infallible that He is. What is far more difficult is to love fellow human beings with all their imperfections and defects. Remember, one can only know what one is capable of loving. There is no wisdom without love. Unless we learn to love God’s creation, we can neither truly love nor truly know God.
...I just keep failing miserably in this goal!
