How is the perfection of love for Allah the Exalted achieved?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Does "Allah and His Messenger are dearer to him than all else" mean: standing firm in obedience to Allah, or preferring the love of Allah over the love of his child and all of mankind?
Answer:
This is what the perfection of love means. The perfection of love is to prefer the love of Allah over his son, his wife, and his family. If the love of Allah and their love conflict, he must prioritize the love of Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He). It is not from the one who pleases his wife by disobeying Allah, or pleases his son by disobeying Allah. This is a deficiency in his faith.
