Do we assert that the one who has been granted acceptance in the earth is loved by Allah?

Question : Some people point to certain scholars and people of virtue, who are among those who spoke the following decisive words, and they assert that these people, or this scholar, have been granted acceptance in the earth. Did this person agree with this assertion?

Answer : That is, he says that this effect, which is acceptance in the earth, is an effect of Allah the Exalted’s love for the servant. Do we assert that Allah loves him because of the presence of this effect? We say that this effect does not mean that acceptance is limited to this, but it means that when love occurs, acceptance occurs. It does not follow that the reverse is the reverse; there may be acceptance, but it is a test from Allah the Exalted for this person.
No, because Allah the Exalted loves him. The hadith indicates that whenever Allah’s love is found, acceptance is found, and the evidence does not reverse; that is, one does not say the reverse is the reverse. Therefore, we do not assert that this man who has been granted acceptance in the earth is loved by Allah the Exalted. However, there is no doubt that it is a sign, especially if it is known that this man is righteous and upright.
And the causes that necessitate Allah’s love are found in his following the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), so there is no doubt that this is evidence that Allah loves him.
