Question: What is the sign of the love of Allah? Who cannot understand the love felt for Allah?
ANSWER
The love of Allah manifests itself through seven signs:
1. The lovers of Allahu ta’âlâ do not fear death. They are always ready for death and wait for it, because lovers meet the Beloved and strangers return to their homeland with death. But it is not contrary to the love of Allah to be unwilling to die immediately with the intention of serving Islam for some more time.

2. The lovers prefer the ones the Beloved loves to the ones they themselves love.

3. The lovers think of and remember the Beloved every moment.

4. The lovers like everything the Beloved likes.

5. The lovers secure themselves against all obstacles and remember the Beloved much. They sacrifice their sleep. Allahu ta’âlâ told Hadrat Dâwud:
(He who claims to love Me but sleeps until the morning is a liar, for the lover wants to converse with the Beloved. Abandoning unawareness, he remembers Me and attains to My conversation.) [Ma’rifatnâma]

6. All of the acts of worship (ibâdat) are easy for the lovers. They hold fast to them with pleasure.

7. The lovers consider the friends of the Beloved as friends and the enemies of the Beloved as enemies. As a matter of fact, a hadîth-i sharîf declares:
(The solidest basis of îmân is to love for the sake of Allah and to feel hostility for the sake of Allah.) [Abû Dâwud]

A person who accepts îmân and fully enjoys the taste of it loves Allahu ta’âlâ very much. The Qur’ân al-karîm purports:
(The Believers’ love of Allah is very strong.) [Sûrat-ul-Baqara, 165]

For adapting oneself to Allahu ta’âlâ completely and flawlessly, one needs to love Him completely and flawlessly. The symptom of complete and perfect love is to consider His enemies as enemies and to dislike those who dislike Him. Love cannot include sloth.
Lovers, being crazy about their darlings, cannot do anything against them. They cannot come to mutual agreement with those who act against them. The love for two opposites cannot settle in the same heart together. To love one of two opposites entails enmity towards the other.
The love in humans is not dependent upon the five senses, as is the case with animals. Those who deny the sixth sense demote humans to the grade of animals. What differentiates humans from animals is their such properties as mind, nûr, and spiritual heart. The eye of the heart of a human is stronger than the physical eyes. The beauty understood by the mind is greater than the beauty seen by eyes. For this reason, the pleasure derived from the honorable things that cannot be perceived through the five senses but understood only through the spiritual heart is greater. Those who believe that there is nothing other than the five senses and thus demote humans to the grade of animals cannot understand the love felt for Allah.
