Excerpt From the Book Rislaah Jamiah Explained by Shaykh Dr. Salih

 al-Fawzan

 




 

From the Proof:

 

Love for Allah Only ( Him Alone in Worship)

وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَن يَتَّخِذُ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ أَندَادًا يُحِبُّونَهُمْ كَحُبِّ اللَّهِ ۖ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَشَدُّ حُبًّا لِّلَّهِ ۗ

And of mankind are some who take (for worship) others besides Allah as rivals (to Allah). They love them as they love Allah. But those who believe, love Allah more (than anything else).

Surah al-Baqrah 165


 


From the different types of worship is love, which is the love for Allah Glorified is He the Most High. For it is obligatory to specify sincerely by singling out this love for Allah, and not to love other than Him (in worship).

From people (mankind) are some who take worship others besides Allah as rivals to Allah (takes other deities besides Allah in worship). They love their idols, gods beside Allah.

Indeed, here it is idols, they love their idols (gods), the Mushrik (Polytheist) love their idols (gods) they worship.

The Believers loves Allah the Mighty and Majestic, they do not love other than Allah ( sole worshipping Him Allah).

So the difference between the Muslim and the Kafir (disbeliever/ disbeliever in the Oneness of Allah in worship, and the religion of Islam) . The Kafir loves their idols and the believer (Muslim) loves Allah without associating along in worship with Him rivals, they love Allah only extremely.

 

 

وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَن يَتَّخِذُ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ أَندَادًا يُحِبُّونَهُمْ كَحُبِّ اللَّهِ ۖ

And of mankind are some who take (for worship) others besides Allah as rivals (to Allah). They love them as they love Allah.

The Mushrikoon (Polytheists) love Allah, but they love Him and love to worship other than Allah (those who make rivals in with Allah).

Concerning the Believer he loves Allah, Him alone without associating partners in worship with Him. Love that is sole sincerely for Allah only. That is the difference between the two the Muslim and the Kafir. As so the Mushrik(s) (polytheist{s}) loves Allah, but he loves Allah along with loving other than Him (other deities). He becomes a Mushrik (polytheist) who will be the inhabitant of the Hell Fire.

As so the Mushrik loves Allah but that he loves Allah along with loving other than Him (other deities). He becomes a Mushrik (polytheist) who will be the inhabitant of the Hell Fire.

Concerning the Believer he loves Allah and Him alone, and he does not love other than Allah in worship, with obedience and submitting to Allah only.

Concerning the love for wealth, and children and one’s wife, this love is a special condition  (natural love). This is not worshiping them.

But the love that is with obedience and submitting, for this is indeed worship. This is sole for Allah the Mighty and Majestic.
