The Life, Teachings and Influence of Muhammad ibn Abdul-Wahhaab
“O you who believe! Whoever from among you turns back from his
religion (Islam), Allah will bring a people whom He will love and
they will love Him; humble towards the believers, stern towards the
disbelievers, fighting for the sake of Allah, and never fearing the
blame of the blamers. That is the Grace of Allah which He bestows
upon whom He wills. And Allah is All-Sufficient for His creatures’
needs, All-Knower” (al-Maaidah 54). On the other hand, those with
the strongest handhold of faith love Allah and love the people of truth
and hate shirk (polytheism) and the people of shirk. 1 Furthermore, this
correct love for Allah leads to a feeling in the heart of complete awe
and submission to Allah. This, in turn, should lead to a complete
willingness to submit to Allah. The reward for that will be Allah’s
love in return. Thus, Allah says,

“Say: If you (truly) love Allah, then follow me: Allah will love you
and forgive you your sins. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most
Merciful” (ali-Imraan 31).
Closely in association with the previous point comes the
question of loyalty and disassociation. One cannot be a true Muslim
until he believes in Allah alone as the only one worthy of worship and
he denies all other forms of false worship. Thus, one must abandon
polytheism (shirk). Indeed, one must also oppose and hate shirk and
all those who stand for shirk, this should be a natural consequence of
the love of Allah in one’s heart. Thus, Allah says,
