God loves His creation, and human beings most especially; and we are called to love Him in return. This religious virtue turns life into a delight, as we recognise the signs of God’s love in creation and in other people, and learn to be satisfied with God’s decree at all times.
With much reflection on the tremendousness of the Exalted and Great, one’s knowledge increases, is strengthened, and becomes more expansive. And with the expansion of one’s knowledge of Allah, one’s love becomes more expansive and stronger until Allah and His messenger ﷺ become more beloved to one than all else.
