About This Book:

LOVE AND HATE FOR THE SAKE OF ALLAH is one of the great doors leading to the good of the Hereafter and a cause of tasting the sweetness of eemaan in this world. There are some people who think that loving and hating is an affair of the heart only and that a person in unable to have any control over it, so how is he able to cause himself to love and to hate another? From that which is known necessarily in Islam is that the heart is to follow "aqeedah and eemaan, so whoever in Allah as his Lord, Islam as his religion and way of life (deen) and in Muhammad as the Messenger, then he must necessarily love whoever loves Allah, therefore loving and hating is an obligation upon the Muslim. Furthermore, Allah, the Most High, has warned us against going beyond bounds in these two matters so that we do not cause distensions and widespread corruption in the land, as occurs a the end of sooratul-Anfaal.
