Love is the most pleasing human emotion and the most beautiful expression of love is to love our creator, Allah. We stay away from sin because we fear Allah and we fear the punishment of Hellfire, but we worship Allah and do good deeds because we love Allah and we hope for Paradise. We should love Allah not only by declaring our love for Him, but also acting on it by obeying Him, preferring what He likes, and rejecting what He dislikes.There are times when we feel the love is there but it is more subtle, and we may feel distanced from Allah and less motivated. So we need ways to help us intensify our love of Allah and to help us stay motivated.
