How can love and hatred for polytheists coexist in the heart simultaneously, when Allah says: "Allah has not made for a man two hearts in his interior"?
It is permissible for love and hatred to coexist for a single thing due to the differing aspects of their attachment to it. For example, medicine may be loved from one perspective and hated from another. A non-Muslim relative may be loved for their kinship and hated for their disbelief. However, the coexistence of love and hatred for the very essence of a thing from the same aspect is impossible, as it is a union of opposites. There may be in the heart a type of love for something and a type of love for its opposite, and this is common among human beings, but neither of them can be complete.
