The Divine Love

Al-Qurtubi said in his explanation of the words of the Sufi Sahl B. Abdullah on the love of Allah, "The sign of loving Allah is loving the Quran. The sign of loving the Quran is loving the Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him salvation. The sign of loving the Prophet is loving the hereafter. And the sign of loving the hereafter is loving oneself. The sign of loving oneself is leaving the outer world. And the sign of leaving the outer world is taking from it only what is needed for survival."
