Ten Causes Leading to Allah's Love

Ibn al-Qaiyim mentioned ten causes that result in Allah's love for His slave and the slave's love for his Lord.
These ten causes are detailed in this article and include:

Continual remembrance of Allah under all circumstances, with one's tongue, heart and actions. The extent of one's love of Allah is determined by this. ...

Fourth, giving precedence to what He loves over what you love when you are overtaken by your desires. ...

Observing Allah's kindness, goodness and bounties, both hidden and open.

Yaheshua (God's son) whom I believe if understand Islam accepts as a prophet also analyses the law of moses to find it's meaning or purpose. Upon doing this he gives us a revelation that the purpose of God's laws is to teach us how to love and hold us to the highest expectation to follow through

To Love for the Sake of Allah

Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, said:

Allah shall ask on the Day of Judgement, ' Where are those who loved for the sake of my Greatness? Today when there is no shade save Mine, I shall have them in My Shade.'"

(Sahih Muslim)

"On the Day of Judgement, those who had mutual love for the sake of Allah's Greatness shall be on pulpits of light and all shall envy them."

(Al-Tirmidhi)

Hadith on Allah's Love

Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, said:

"When Allah loves a slave, He calls out to Jibril (Gabriel) and says: `I love so-and-so; so love him'.

Then Jibril loves him. After that he (Jibril) announces to the inhabitants of heavens that Allah loves so-and-so; so love him; and the inhabitants of the heavens (the angels) also love him and then make people on earth love him".

(Hadith in Al-Bukhari and Muslim)

Love of Allah

On-Line Book

This book seeks to remind believers of the importance of feeling love toward our Lord, Who possesses infinite mercy, and the importance of Allah’s love toward His creations and the believers, as well as to demonstrate that the lack of love, which is a sign of those who deny His existence, is a great catastrophe and punishment.

Believers must do their best to avoid this situation by leading a life full of love with the hope of attaining Paradise and binding oneself with love and loyalty to our Lord, humanity’s true Friend and Guardian, and to the believers.

Fear, Respect and Love of Allah Must be Together

Some people assume that love of Allah is enough for those who seek to live according to religious morals and earn Allah’s good pleasure.

However, Allah informs us that His servants who possess superior morals and love Him also have a genuine fear and respect for Him.

Every person who acknowledges Allah with all of His attributes and appreciates His greatness, as well as those who have intelligence and a conscience, will fear and respect Allah to the utmost degree. Allah enables such servants, who also abide by His will, to distinguish good from evil and to observe the limits that He has set for humanity.

Those who Love Allah Also Love Believers

Those who are loved by Allah are also loved by believers; those who befriend Allah also befriend the believers; those who earn His good pleasure also earn that of the believers; and whoever loves Allah should also love His servants.

Those pious believers who follow His path are among those people most loved by Allah. For this reason, believers love one another and are very concerned about each other. Many verses relate the believers’ love for one another, their closeness to each other, their mercy to each other and their attachment to each other.

Worship & The Love of Allah

The truth is that worship is an expression of love for Allah, and it also expresses complete humility to Allah.

For worship does not only mean prayer but prayer is merely a sign of worship but worship is indeed love for Allah.
