Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, a questioner asks: What is the meaning of the saying of Allah the Exalted:
There the authority is [completely] for Allah, the Truthهُنَالِكَ الْوَلَايَةُ لِلَّهِ الْحَقِّ
[Al-Kahf 18:44]


Answer:
Loyalty is love, meaning love. Loyalty and disavowal: on the Day of Resurrection, loyalty will be for Allah and His believing servants alone, as the Exalted said, as the Glorious and Exalted said. But for some,
that Day, will be enemies to each otherيَوْمَئِذٍ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ
[Az-Zukhruf 43:67]
for others,
enemies to each other, except for the righteousعَدُوٌّ إِلَّا الْمُتَّقِينَ
[Az-Zukhruf 43:67]
the righteous. The affection of the righteous remains in the Hereafter.
The affection they died upon remains between them in the Hereafter as brothers on couches facing one another. Thus, affection for the sake of Allah remains in this world and the Hereafter. As for affection for other than Allah, it turns into enmity on the Day of Resurrection.
Then on the Day of Resurrection you will deny one another and curse one another, and your refuge will be the Fire, and you will not have any helpers."ثُمَّ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يَكْفُرُ بَعْضُكُم بِبَعْضٍ وَيَلْعَنُ بَعْضُكُم بَعْضًا وَمَأْوَاكُمُ النَّارُ وَمَا لَكُم مِّن نَّاصِرِينَ
[Al-'Ankabut 29:25]
Close friends, that Day, will be enemies to each otherالْأَخِلَّاءُ يَوْمَئِذٍ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ عَدُوٌّ
[Az-Zukhruf 43:67]
Each one takes pleasure in the other's misfortune, saying, "You are the cause. You are the one who destroyed me. You are the one who led me astray." So they take pleasure in each other's misfortune and curse one another, may Allah protect us from that. Yes.
