The Link Between Loving Allah and Loving His Messenger and Following Him

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Adam Muhammad Sudani, a resident of the Kingdom, says: To what extent is the love of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) connected to the love of His Messenger, through His saying:
Say, [O Muhammad], "If you should love Allah, then follow me, [so] Allah will love youقُلْ إِن كُنتُمْ تُحِبُّونَ اللَّهَ فَاتَّبِعُونِي يُحْبِبْكُمُ اللَّهُ
[Ali 'Imran 3:31]
?

Answer:
Yes, one of the signs of loving Allah (Mighty and Majestic) is following His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). This is the sign. As for the one who claims to love Allah but does not follow the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), his statement is false and his action is false, because there is no path to Allah and His Paradise except by following the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
