Commentary
To love someone for no other reason than for the sake of Allāh's Might and Majesty — a distinctive hallmark of a true believer — is an act that wins the approval and appreciation of Allāh and endears the concerned individuals to Him, so that they will be placed on podiums of light whose enchanting beauty shall even draw the admiration and envy of the Prophets and martyrs, although their own ranks would be much higher and superior to those individuals.
