Comparing the degree of love between a sinful brother and a brother in Allah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Another person says: If one of us has a brother by blood who is disobedient, and he also has a brother in Allah who is righteous and God-fearing, which of the two does he love more?
Answer:
A believer loves a person to the extent of the faith he possesses. If he is a believer who is upright and does not engage in any of the prohibited acts, he is loved with a complete and pure love. If he is a believer who engages in some sins, he is loved to the extent of his faith and hated to the extent of his sins; love and hatred coexist in him. He is loved for the foundation of faith, creed, and the oneness of Allah, but he is hated to the extent of his sins. Yes.
