The Ruling on Equating the Love of Allah with the Love of His Messenger

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for a servant to equate the love of Allah with the love of His Messenger, or is the love of Allah greater in the heart of the servant? The love of Allah is not shared with anyone. Certainly.

Answer:
One of the acts of worship, because it is worship. Is it permissible to worship Allah and worship the Messenger? No, the love of Allah is exclusive to Him; no one shares in it with Him, without doubt. Because it is the greatest type of worship. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) has a love befitting him and his message (peace and blessings be upon him). It is the love of a created being. The love of a created being is not equal to the love of the Creator. The greatest of created beings in terms of love is the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), but it is not equal to the love of the Creator (Exalted and Majestic is He). Yes.
