Frequently Asked Questions
Loving someone for the sake of Allah means your care for them goes way beyond just feelings. You’re thinking about Allah’s love first, and so you treat that person as a trust, or amanah, from Him. It’s not about what you get from them. If you only love them for their personality or looks, that sort of love can fade or depend on things going well. But loving with the intention of pleasing Allah, that’s a love that lasts, and it makes you want to make dua for the love of Allah to fill your relationship with real goodness.
