Clarification of Shirk (associating partners with Allah) in Love

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner asks: How does shirk (associating partners with Allah) occur in love?

The Shaykh:
Shirk (associating partners with Allah) in love is to love others alongside Allah, to love others alongside Allah, to love Allah and to love the idols. To love the idols, this is shirk (associating partners with Allah) in love. The love of Allah must be pure, without any shirk (associating partners with Allah). Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.

The Shaykh:
among the people are those who take other than Allah as equals [to Him]. They love them as they [should] love Allah.مَن يَتَّخِذُ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ أَندَادًا يُحِبُّونَهُمْ كَحُبِّ اللَّهِ
[Al-Baqarah 2:165]
, rather, they love Allah, but they equated the idols with Him, so their love for them became like the love of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). And those who believe are more intense in their love for Allah, because the love of the believers is pure, while the love of the polytheists is shared between Allah and others. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
