Do not avert your face from people out of haughtiness and do not strut about arrogantly on the earth. Allah does not love anyone who is vain or boastful. (Surah Luqman: 18)
There is no doubt that Allah knows what they keep secret and what they make public. He does not love people puffed up with pride. (Surat an-Nahl: 23)
I remember reading that there are different levels of love and rehma which Allah manifests towards the creation.
We say ar-Rahman and ar-Raheem, now if i remember correctly ar-Rahman the Merciful is for the whole of creation including disbelivers, Allah showers his mercy and blessings on even those who deny him in this life, but with the attribute of ar-Raheem - the Compassionate, the Most Gracious this is reserved for the believers only
So the believers benefit from higher levels of love and mercy, while the disbelivers are deprived of the latter.
What is also clear from many Quranic ayat is that there are conditions for the higher levels of love, mercy, baraka
For example Allah (swt) tells us he dislikes the Zalimun, the arrogant, the oppressors, the tyrants, the cruel, those who shun the poor etc, similarily Allah likes the truthful, the patient, the righteous etc
again this is what i read and understood and it is a deep subject in its own right, and Allah knows best.
Allah does not love everyone. He says in many verses whom he does not like. The evil doers, the hypocrites, the sinners, the rebelious, the corrupted etc.
And verily for everything that a slave loses there is a substitute, but the one who loses Allah will never find anything to replace Him.” [Related by Ibn al-Qayyim in ad-Dâ' wad-Dawâ Fasl 49]

That is the grace of Allah, which He will bestow on whom He pleaseth. And Allah encompasseth all, and He knoweth all things.
9:108 Never stand thou forth therein. There is a mosque whose foundation was laid from the first day on piety; it is more worthy of the standing forth (for prayer) therein. In it are men who love to be purified; and Allah loveth those who make themselves pure.

4:36 Serve Allah, and join not any partners with Him; and do good- to parents, kinsfolk, orphans, those in need, neighbours who are near, neighbours who are strangers, the companion by your side, the wayfarer (ye meet), and what your right hands possess: For Allah loveth not the arrogant, the vainglorious;-

ghayril maghdoobi = those who have earned Allah's anger
i guess technically its ghayril maghdoobi 'alayhim though, my arabic isn't up to par yet
Greetings convert
If the above verse means that Allah is angry with some people (perhaps -according to previous posts - because of their behaviour or attitiude), does that mean he cannot still love them?
Are anger and love really exclusive?
Speaking from a human persepective, I can feel very angry with my children or husband sometimes ... and still love them nonetheless.
Why do you conclude that Allah ceases to love those he is angry with?
Peace

Here I stand.

May God help me.
Amen.

If the translation in the post you refer to is correct and the Qu'ran clearly states that Allah does not love people who display certain behaviours and attitudes, then it has answered my (and the OPs) question.
Thank you.
I understand Islamic teachings a little better now.
