Types of Love

The actions which Allah loves; everything legislated by Him such as Tawheed. The doer of these actions; such as the prophets, angels, companions, and every believer. Times beloved to Allah; such as the Night of Qadr and the third part of every night. Places beloved to Allah ; such as Makkah and the Prophet’s Madinah. Loving other than Allah It is Major Disbelief.

As Allah says: “Still there are some who take others as Allah’s equal —they love them as they should love Allah”

Quran (2:165)

. Love for the sake of Allah It is obligatory; rather, it is from the most important parts of Emaan !

Allah has said: “Muhammad is the Messenger of Al lah. Those who are with him are firm with the disbelievers and merciful with one another…”

Quran (48:29)

It is specific to the following four: Natural Love It is permissible as long as it is not given priority to the love of Allah. Example: Loving one’s children and wife. The Prophet has said: ” None of you truly believes until I am more beloved to him than their children , parents, and the rest of the people” .

What is the meaning of the phrase “Slave” in the testimony “Muhammad is the slave and messenger of Allah” He ﷺ should not be worshipped since he does not have any share in the Lordship, worship, nor the Names and Attributes of Allah. He ﷺ is the best worshipper of Allah. He has perfected his worship to Allah alone.
