قُلْ إِن كُنتُمْ تُحِبُّونَ اللَّهَ فَاتَّبِعُونِي يُحْبِبْكُمُ اللَّهُ 'Say, [O Muhammad], if you truly love Allah, then follow me; Allah will love you and forgive you your sins.' (Surah Aal-‘Imran 3:31)
Subhan Allah, A thought came to my mind that Allah سبحانه وتعالى grants the ability to truly and passionately love His Beloved ( صلی اللّٰہ علیہ وآلہ وسلّم ) only to those whom He Himself wishes to love. What it exactly means: I realized that 1- Love of the Prophet ( صلی اللّٰہ علیہ وآلہ وسلّم ) is not something we force upon ourselves on our own. 2- It is a gift from Allah, placed in the hearts of those whom He chooses. 3- This love is, in reality, a sign of Allah’s own love for that person.
The verse (Aal-‘Imran 3:31) explains and simplifies this connection if we do Taddabur upon it , in a very different direction. 1- If someone claims to love Allah, the proof is in following the Prophet ( صلی اللّٰہ علیہ وآلہ وسلّم ) 2- When a person follows him ( صلی اللّٰہ علیہ وآلہ وسلّم ) Allah loves that person in return. 3- That means the ability to love and follow the Prophet ( صلی اللّٰہ علیہ وآلہ وسلّم ) is a special mercy and selection from Allah سبحانه وتعالى
In simpler words:
If you find love for the Prophet صلی اللّٰہ علیہ وآلہ وسلّم in your heart, Do know that it is a sign that Allah سبحانه وتعالى wants good for you and has chosen to love you. Because Allah only grants that love to the hearts that He Himself wants to draw closer. Subhan Allah !!!!
