Question : You are asking me? About the signs of the servant’s love for Allah, and likewise Allah’s love for the servant?
Answer : Yes. Allah’s love for the servant is that he follows the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), as He the Exalted said:[Ali 'Imran 3:31] And the sign of a person’s love for his Lord is that he prefers what Allah has commanded him over his own desires, and that he says, “We hear and we obey, we believe and we are truthful,” and that he relies on Allah the Exalted in times of ease and hardship.
Answer : Yes. Allah’s love for the servant is that he follows the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), as He the Exalted said:
Say, [O Muhammad], "If you should love Allah, then follow me, [so] Allah will love you
