that it burns away from the heart anything other than what is beloved to Allāh. This is a correct meaning, for complete love for Allāh entails that one loves only what Allāh loves. If you love what He does not love, then the love is incomplete. As for His decree and predestination, He dislikes, detests, and is displeased with it, and He forbids it. If I do not agree with Him in His dislike, detestation, and displeasure, then I am not a lover of Him but rather a lover of what He dislikes. Following this sharīʿah and engaging in jihād through it is one of the greatest distinctions between the people who love Allāh and His allies, whom He loves and who love Him, and those who claim to love Allāh while looking at His general lordship or following some innovations contrary to His sharīʿah. For this claim of love for Allāh is similar to the claim of the Jews and Christians of love for Allāh, and indeed, the claim of these people may be worse than the claim of the Jews and Christians due to the hypocrisy within them, which places them in the lowest depths of the Fire. Just as the claim of the Jews and Christians may be worse than their claim if they do not reach the level of disbelief like theirs. In the Torah and the Gospel, there is encouragement for the love of Allāh, which they agree upon, to the extent that it is considered among them the greatest commandments of the law
