Love of Allah is the basis of worship that should be directed to Him alone.
Any other love should be for his sake too. The real love of Allah is to do
whatever He ordained and to abandon whatever He forbade, in addition to
following the Prophet's Sunna.
Whoever obeys someone or something other than Allah and His Messenger, or
follows any saying other than theirs, or fears other than Allah or seeks the
pleasure of other than Allah, or puts his trust in other than Him, does not
love Allah, nor does he love His Messenger. Muslims should also love one
another and wish the best for one another. Allah's Messenger (Peace Be Upon
Him ) said:
"One will not be a true believer unless he loves for his brother what be
loves for himself." (Bukhari, Muslim, Nasa'i, Ahmed and Ibn Majah)
Imam Malik and Imam Ahmed narrated: Allah's Messenger (Peace Be Upon Him )
