(Say, (O Muhammad, to mankind): If ye love Allah…) [3:31]. Said al-Hasan ibn Jurayj: “Some people hadclaimed at the time of the Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and give him peace, that they loved Allah.They said: 'O Muhammad! Verily, we love our Lord', and so Allah, exalted is He, revealed this verse”.Juwaybir also reported that al-Dahhak related that Ibn 'Abbas said: “The Prophet, Allah bless him and givehim peace, saw the Quraysh in the Sacred Mosque prostrating to their idols which they erected therein, witheggs of ostriches hanging from them and earrings dangling from their ears. And so he said to them: 'OQuraysh! You have contravened the religion of your fathers Abraham and Ishmael, both of whom wereMuslims'. They responded: 'O Muhammad! We worship them out of love for Allah and so that they bring uscloser to Him'. Upon which Allah, exalted is He, revealed (Say, (O Muhammad, to mankind): If ye love Allah)and you worship your idols to bring you closer to Him, as you claim, then (follow me; Allah will love you…)for I am His Messenger to you, His proof against you, and I am more worthy of reverence than your idols”.Al-Kalbi also related from Abu Salih that Ibn 'Abbas said: “When the Jews said: 'We are the children of Allahand His beloved', Allah, exalted is He, revealed this verse. Then the Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him andgive him peace, read it to the Jews but they refused to accept it”. Muhammad ibn Ishaq reported thatMuhammad ibn Ja'far ibn al-Zubayr said: “This was revealed about the Christians of Najran, for they hadsaid: 'We venerate and worship Christ out of love and veneration for Allah'. And so Allah, exalted is He,revealed this verse as a response”.
قُلْ إِن كُنتُمْ تُحِبُّونَ اللَّهَ فَاتَّبِعُونِى يُحْبِبْكُمُ اللَّهُ وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوبَكُمْ وَاللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ - قُلْ أَطِيعُواْ اللَّهَ وَالرَّسُولَ فإِن تَوَلَّوْاْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يُحِبُّ الْكَـفِرِينَ
(31. Say (O Muhammad to mankind): "If you (really) love Allah, then follow me (i.e. Muhammad), Allah will love you and forgive you your sins. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.'')
(32. Say: "Obey Allah and the Messenger.'' But if they turn away, then Allah does not like the disbelievers.)
This honorable Ayah judges against those who claim to love Allah, yet do not follow the way of Muhammad . Such people are not true in their claim until they follow the Shari`ah (Law) of Muhammad and his religion in all his statements, actions and conditions. It is recorded in the Sahih that the Messenger of Allah said,
«مَنْ عَمِلَ عَمَلًا لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ أَمْرُنَا فَهُوَ رَد»
(Whoever commits an act that does not conform with our matter (religion), then it will be rejected of him.) This is why Allah said here,
قُلْ إِن كُنتُمْ تُحِبُّونَ اللَّهَ فَاتَّبِعُونِى يُحْبِبْكُمُ اللَّهُ
(Say (O Muhammad to mankind): "If you (really) love Allah, then follow me, Allah will love you...'') meaning, what you will earn is much more than what you sought in loving Him, for Allah will love you. Al-Hasan Al-Basri and several scholars among the Salaf commented, "Some people claimed that they love Allah. So Allah tested them with this Ayah;
قُلْ إِن كُنتُمْ تُحِبُّونَ اللَّهَ فَاتَّبِعُونِى يُحْبِبْكُمُ اللَّهُ
(Say (O Muhammad to mankind): "If you (really) love Allah, then follow me, Allah will love you...''). '' Allah then said,
وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوبَكُمْ وَاللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ
("And forgive you your sins. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.'') meaning, by your following the Messenger , you will earn all this with the blessing of his mission. Allah next commands everyone,
قُلْ أَطِيعُواْ اللَّهَ وَالرَّسُولَ فإِن تَوَلَّوْاْ
(Say: "Obey Allah and the Messenger.'' But if they turn away) by defying the Prophet ,
فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يُحِبُّ الْكَـفِرِينَ
(then Allah does not like the disbelievers.) thus, testifying that defiance of the Messenger's way constitutes Kufr. Indeed, Allah does not like whoever does this, even if he claims that he loves Allah and seeks a means of approach to Him, unless, and until, he follows the unlettered Prophet, the Final Messenger from Allah to the two creations: mankind and the Jinn. This is the Prophet who, if the previous Prophets and mighty Messengers were to have been alive during his time, they would have no choice but to follow, obey him, and to abide by his Law. We will mention this fact when we explain the Ayah,
وَإِذْ أَخَذَ اللَّهُ مِيثَـقَ النَّبِيِّيْنَ
(And (remember) when Allah took the Covenant of the Prophets) 3:81, Allah willing.
