فأصل العبادة محبة الله بل إفراده بالمحبة وأن يكون الحب كله لله فلا يحب معه سواه وإنما يحب لأجله وفيه كما يجب أنبياءه ورسله وملائكته وأولياءه فمحبتنا لهم من تمام محبته وليست محبة معه كمحبة من يتخذ من دون الله أندادا يحبونهم كحبه
Madarij al salikeen pg.99
and he continued the worship, loving allah, extreme love, and the love should all be to allah, and he should not love anyone other then him, and if he does then he should love for allahs sake, and with that, he should love his messengers, prophets and angels and those close to him (allah), so our love is for them, and the love for him is not the same as the love by people who take partners with allah and love him.
