Loving for Allah's sake

Contents > Alliance and Enmity > Loving for Allah's sake

al-Hubbu Fillah - You must love for Allah's sake exclusively. The Prophet (saw) said,

“The strongest knot of Imaan is al-Hubbu Fillah (To love only for the sake of Allah) and al-Bughdu Fillah (To hate for the sake of Allah).” Saheeh al-Bukhari and Saheeh al-Muslim

Love for the sake of Allah is Tawheed and to love alongside Allah anything is Shirk. A sign of your love being only for Allah’s sake is that it does not increase because of what people give you gifts or help you or benefit you unless it was to benefit your Deen and take you closer to Allah. Similarly your love for a person should not decrease because they upset or annoyed you, or they let you down personally; rather it only increases or decreases according to their good deeds and closeness to Allah.
