What is the diagnosis of a young man who loves another young man for the sake of Allah, wants to see him most of the time and always thinks of him; how can he lessen this, and is it good religiously?

Loving for the sake of Allah is a great act of worship. Allah loves those who practice it and will shade them on the Day of Resurrection. A young person should monitor their feelings towards others. If there is any doubt or fear of falling into the unlawful (), they must address it. However, if there is no doubt, then there is no harm in the intensity of love one of the beloveds has for the other, for the greatest reward is for the one whose love for their companion is most intense.
