Love and hate for the sake of Allah

[showkot]

Bismillah Ar-Rahman Ar-Raheem

In Islam, we must love what Allah (swt) loves and hate what Allah (swt) hates. So if Allah (swt) says we must pray, fast, do dhikr, read Quran, and that we must love our fellow Muslim brothers and sisters wherever they may be from, and show our kindness to them, then we must also love this and do this. If Allah (swt) loves those servants who sacrifice all of their wealth and lives etc for His sake, then we should also love this and do this, and die in His cause.

To love Allah (swt), we must love Islam, His (swt) hukms - all of them, by loving the action and doing it, we in turn love Allah (swt) as He (swt) loves the action, and He (swt) has commanded it. So by loving the action, we become closer to Him (swt) and want to please Him more and more.
And if Allah (swt) loves us when He sees us following and implementing His deen, then this is what we should be doing. Our Creator loves to see His servants worshipping Him in the day and the night, and Allah (swt) loves to meet them on the last day, and grant them what they deserve because they loved Allah (swt) and His Messenger, and followed what Muhammad (saw) brought.
"Say (Oh Muhammad saw), If you love Allah, then follow me, and Allah will forgive your sins" [tmq]

And to hate for the sake of Allah (swt), this is to hate anything which displeases Allah (swt), which our Creator hates, ie, when we do haram, socialise, drink, backbite, and if Allah says that the enemies of Islam are the Kuffar, and Allah (swt) hates kufr, we also must hate kufr. And Allah (swt) hates to see kufr being implemented and not His deen of Islam. So we must also hate this non-Islamic governments of the world and work to change the muslim governments into one Islamic government, ie the Khilafah system.
"Allah will never allow the dibelivers to have authority over the believers." [tmq]

If we do not love and hate for the sake of Allah (swt) then do we love and hate by our desires, and let them dictate to us?
Allah (swt) says in the Quran "And rule by what Allah has revealed, and do not follow their vain desires." [tmq 5:42]

We must always remember that we do actions soley to seek the pleasure of Allah (swt).

Salam brother
I agree with most of the things you have said what Allah loves we love and what Allah hates we hate.
There are a few things that i want to mention
Yes Kufr is an enemy to the Belivers but the real enemy of the Muslims are the Munafiks, The hypocrites were the most dangerous obstacle to the Prophet (Saw)more so taht the Pagans of Mecca as htey were the enemy within, so lets pay a little attention ott he enemy within us.
Allah hates the arrogants, the biggots, nationalists, secularist, tribalist... and those who do not respect their Elders and Parents.
There are some who have learnt few verses here and there and think they have become the gran Mufti and start giving out Fatwas with out any consideration tot he real Islamic Laws and Principals.
There are some who think "I am totally right and you are totally wrong"
There are some who find it hard to take the truth even when proper evidence is given and because of their background rerfuse to accept the truth when they know its the truth.
These are also some of the things that Allah hates.
