"Surely, those who believe and do the righteous deeds, for them the Rahman (All-Merciful) will create love." (Surah Maryam:96)

In the interpretation of this verse Mufti Muhammad Shafi RE has written that for those whose Iman (faith) and good deeds are perfect Allah Ta'alah creates an environment of love and respect between them. One pious person has love and respect for another pious person. Furthermore, by their conduct and behaviour they command the admiration and respect of all those with whom they come into contact.

Bukhari, Tirmidhi and others have related on the authority of Sayyidna Abu Hurairah RAA that the Holy Prophet ﷺ once said that when Allah Ta'alah is pleased with someone He says to Jibra'il (Gabriel) AS, "I am pleased with so and so and I desire that you too should show favour to him." Jibra'il AS makes an announcement to this effect in all the skies so that their residents begin to develop a liking for that person. Then this love descends upon the earth and the people of the earth also begin to love him. The Holy Prophet SAW then quoted this verse. (Ruh ul-Ma'ani)

Haram bin Hayyan has said that when a person devotes himself wholly towards Allah He fills the hearts of all believers with love for him. (Qurtubi)
