The Love of Allah

SUMMARY: Allah loves those who He chooses and the angels and people on earth follow suit.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet said, "When Allah loves a slave, calls out Jibril 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". Al- Bukhari and Muslim. Another narration of Muslim is: Messenger of Allah, said: "When Allah loves a slave, He calls Jibril (Gabriel) and says: 'I love so-and-so; so love him'. And then Jibril loves him. Then he (Jibril) announces in the heavens saying: Allah loves so-and-so; so love him; then the inhabitants of the heavens (the angels) also love him; and then people on earth love him. And when Allah hates a slave, He calls Jibril and says: 'I hate so- and-so, so hate him'. Then Jibril also hates him. He (Jibril) then announces amongst the inhabitants of heavens: 'Verily, Allah hates so- and-so, so you also hate him'. Thus they also start to hate him. Then he becomes the object of hatred on the earth also". Muslim.
وعنه عن النبي، ، قال‏:‏ ‏"‏إذا أحب الله العبد نادى جبريل‏:‏ إن الله تعالى يحب فلانًا، فأحببه، فيحبه جبريل، فينادي في أهل السماء‏:‏ إن الله يحب فلانًا، فأحبوه، فيحبه أهل السماء، ثم يوضع له القبول في الأرض‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏ ‏.‏ وفي رواية لمسلم ‏:‏ قال رسول الله ‏:‏ ‏"‏إن الله تعالى إذا أحب عبدًا دعا جبريل، فقال ‏:‏ إني أحب فلانًا فأحببه، فيحبه جبريل، ثم ينادي في السماء، فيقول‏:‏ إن الله يحب فلانًا، فأحبوه فيحبه أهل السماء، ثم يوضع له القبول في الأرض، وإذا أبغض عبدًا دعا جبريل فيقول‏:‏ إني أبغض فلانًا، فأبغضه، فيبغضه جبريل، ثم ينادي في أهل السماء، إن الله يبغض فلانًا، فأبغضوه، ثم توضع له البغضاء في الأرض‏"‏‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks to the power of love that comes from Allah. It explains that when someone is chosen by Him, He calls upon Jibril to spread His love for them throughout the heavens and then down to earth. This love is so powerful that it spreads like wildfire, with all inhabitants of the heavens loving them as well as people on earth. It also explains that when someone is not chosen by Him, they become an object of hatred in both heaven and on earth. This hadith teaches us about how powerful love can be when it comes from a higher source such as God Himself. It also reminds us to be mindful of our actions since we never know who has been chosen by Him or not.
