Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. How is love for the sake of Allah? May Allah preserve you.
Answer:
Love for the sake of Allah is for the sake of Allah, not for the sake of this world or the desire for this world. You do not love anyone except the one who gives you money or treats you well; rather, you love him for the sake of Allah because he is among the righteous servants of Allah. Allah loves him, so you love those whom Allah, Mighty and Majestic, loves. You do not love them for the sake of this world or for the sake of kinship alone, but rather you love them for the sake of Allah, Exalted and Majestic is He. Yes.
