Peace to one and all,
Sayyadi Hasan al-Basri, Rahimahullah, relates that a group of individuals claimed to love Allah [Glorious and Almighty Lord of the Universe ], and so Allah tested their love by revealing the verses: "Say, if you love Allah, then follow me and Allah will love you and forgive you your sins." (3:31)
Sayyadi al-Junaid, Rahimahullah, said: "No one has reached Allah except through Allah. And the path to reaching Allah is following the Chosen One, al-Mustafa, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam."
Reaching Allah (al-Wusul ila' Allah) means attaining a state in which Allah is pleased with one. It is based on this perspective that the Messenger of Allah, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam, said: "All of my community will enter Paradise except those who refuse. It was asked, "O Messenger of Allah, who refuses?" He said, "Whoever obeys me will enter Heaven. Whoever disobeys me has refused." [Bukhari Vol. 6)
