Love of Allah Ibn Al-Qayyim (ra) said there are 10 things that bring about the love of Allah: 1. Recitation of the Quran with reflection and with understanding of its meaning. 2. Seeking closeness to Allah (swt) by performing voluntary deeds after having performed obligatory ones, for that leads one to the highest level of love. 3. Remembering Allah during every situation - with ones time, heart, and deeds. Ones share of that love is to the degree of ones share in that remembrance. 4. Preferring what He loves to what you love when your desires are strong. 5. Allowing your heart to reflect on Allah (swt) names and attributes. 6. Reflecting on Allahs many favors and blessings, both the apparent ones and hidden ones, for that leads to Allahs love. 7. Having your heart softened as it is worshipping Allah. 8. Being alone with Allah in worship especially during the last third of the night. And this means to invoke Allah, to recite the Quran, to stand in prayers with all sincerity and with good manners and submission, and then to end that with repentance and with seeking Allahs forgiveness. 9. Sitting with those who are truthful in their love of Allah. 10. Staying away from all that creates barriers between the heart and Allah. - Gems & Jewels (Page 22), Compiled by Abdul-Malik Mujahid (Darussalam)
