Loving God

SHAFAQNA – Prophet Isa / Jesus (AS) saw three thin people, and asked them: Why are you so thin? They replied: Fearing God has caused us to be thin. Prophet Isa (AS) said: Those who fear God are saved. Later on, Prophet Isa (AS) saw three other people who were also thin, and asked them: Why are you so weak and thin? They replied: Eagerness towards paradise has caused us to be weak and thin. Isa (AS) said: The requests of the created ones are granted by God. Isa (AS) passed those people, and saw three more persons who were even thinner than the previous ones, and asked them: Why are you so thin? They replied: Our Love towards God made us so thin. Prophet Isa (AS) who became really happy to meet them, said: You are close to God [1].
