بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
Allah Almighty says,
قُلْ إِن كُنتُمْ تُحِبُّونَ ٱللَّهَ فَٱتَّبِعُونِى يُحْبِبْكُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوبَكُمْ وَٱللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ ﴿٣١﴾قُلْ أَطِيعُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَٱلرَّسُولَ فَإِن تَوَلَّوْا۟ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ ﴿٣٢﴾
Say, [O Muhammad], "“If you ˹sincerely˺ love Allah, then follow me; Allah will love you and forgive your sins. For Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.”(31) Say, [O Muhammad], “Obey Allah and His Messenger.” If they still turn away, then truly Allah does not like the disbelievers. (32)
[Quran, AleImran 3:31-32]
Allah Almighty tells those who claimed that they loved Allah and hoped to be loved by Him above the real criterion of His love. In other words, if a person claimed that he loves his Creator and Master then he must test it on the touchstone of his obedience to the Messenger (ﷺ) , that is, match it against the frequency and quality of where and how he has been following him (ﷺ). Once this is done, the genuine and the fake of it will be exposed right there. How much true a person turns out to be in his claim will be visible from how much he makes it a point to follow the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) using the guidance brought by him as the guiding force in his life. The same test will show that the weaker a person is in his claim, so equally weak he shall be in his obedience to the Prophet (ﷺ).
May Allah increase our love for His beloved Messenger (ﷺ) and enable us to follow his footsteps. Aameen.
