What is the ruling on hating Allah Almighty, a feeling that occurs in the heart but does not settle there?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The love of Allah and His Messenger is among the strongest bonds of faith. The faith of a servant is not complete without it, and prioritizing the love of Allah above all other loves is innate and ingrained in the hearts of believers. This love increases by remembering Allah's blessings, recognizing His names and attributes, and praising His beauty and benevolence. Fleeting thoughts and whispers (waswasah) are not held against a person if they reject them and do not indulge in them. Allah is more merciful to His servants than a mother is to her child. Allah's trials of His servant are for their own good, either as expiation for their sins or as a means of elevating their ranks. Contentment with Allah inherits the sweetness of faith.
