TRANSLATION
[3:31]
Say (O Prophet): .If you really love Allah, then follow me, and Allah shall love you and forgive you your sins. Allah is Most-Forgiving, Very-Merciful..
[3:32]
Say: .Obey Allah and the Messenger.. Then, should they turn back, Allah does not love the disbelievers..
TAFSIR (INTERPRETATION)
In the interpretation of these verses Hazrat Mufti Muhammad Shafi RE has written that in these verses Allah Ta'alah has told those people who claim to love Him, what the true criterion of His love is. If someone claims to love Allah Ta'alah the real yardstick to judge whether he truly loves Allah is how closely he follows the Sunnah of the Holy Prophet ﷺ in his Ibadah (acts of worship), in his behaviour, in his way of dealing with people, and in his transactions. The more closely a person's behaviour resembles the Holy Prophet ﷺ the more credible his claim that he loves Allah Ta'alah, and vice versa. One cannot claim to love Allah Ta'alah, and not follow the Sunnah of the Holy Prophet ﷺ. Furthermore, Allah Ta'alah says that if someone starts following the Sunnah of the Holy Prophet ﷺ Allah Ta'alah will start loving him. What greater reward can there be for an insignificant human being to be loved by Allah Ta'alah!
In a Hadith the Holy Prophet ﷺ has said, "He who obeyed Muhammad (ﷺ) obeyed Allah and he who disobeyed Muhammad (ﷺ) disobeyed Allah." (Tafsir Mazhari)
