Question:
What is the meaning of love for the sake of Allah? What is its reality? How does it manifest? What are its signs? How does it manifest if it becomes clear to someone that he loves a person for the sake of Allah? Does he inform him or not? And what is the importance of that? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
Love for the sake of Allah is the strongest bond of faith, as stated in the hadith: One does not love him for the sake of worldly greed or merely for kinship between them, but rather he loves him because he is obedient to Allah and His Messenger. He loves him because Allah loves him. This is among the strongest bonds of faith. And if he loves him, he informs him of it, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded that whoever loves his brother in Islam should inform him of it. The one who informs says, "I love you for the sake of the One you love." This is a good sign among Muslims: love for the sake of Allah and hatred for the sake of Allah the Exalted. Yes. May Allah reward you with good.
