<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br> 1) A Muslim should love the pious in order for him to join them, for one will be gathered on the Day of Judgment with those whom he loves.<br> 2) Loving others for Allah’s sake is an act of worship that enables one to make up for what he has missed or neglected of other acts of worship.<br> 3) The variance among the believers with regard to their degrees of servitude to Allah does not prevent the negligent one from joining the excellent, since the root of faith-based love, which is one of the highest deeds of the hearts, is a common factor between them.<br> 4) The merit of loving the righteous, from among the people of knowledge and religiosity, on top of whom come the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) and the righteous predecessors. So, let those who take them as allies rejoice! And woe to those who bears hatred and enmity towards them.
