The Love of Allah for Those Who Love Him

SUMMARY: Allah loves those who love to meet Him and is averse to those who are averse to meeting Him.

'Ubadah bin As-Samit narrated that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "Whoever loves to meet Allah, Allah loves to meet him. Whoever is averse to meeting Allah, Allah is averse to meeting him".
حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلاَنَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسًا، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ مَنْ أَحَبَّ لِقَاءَ اللَّهِ أَحَبَّ اللَّهُ لِقَاءَهُ وَمَنْ كَرِهَ لِقَاءَ اللَّهِ كَرِهَ اللَّهُ لِقَاءَهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَعَائِشَةَ وَأَنَسٍ وَأَبِي مُوسَى ‏.‏ قَالَ حَدِيثُ عُبَادَةَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks of the love that Allah has for those who love Him. It teaches us that if we have an inclination towards meeting Allah, He will also have an inclination towards us. On the other hand, if we are averse to meeting Allah, He will be averse to us as well. This hadith encourages us to strive for closeness with our Creator by loving and seeking His pleasure in all aspects of our lives. We should remember that it is only through His mercy and grace that we can attain this closeness with Him.

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught his followers about the importance of having faith in God and striving for closeness with Him through acts of worship such as prayer, fasting, charity etc., which are all ways in which one can show their love for God and gain His pleasure in return. Furthermore, this hadith reminds us that even though we may not always feel close or connected with God at times due to our own shortcomings or sins, He still loves us unconditionally and is always willing to forgive us when we turn back towards Him sincerely seeking repentance from our mistakes.
