The true description of attaining Allah's love comes from a Qudsi Hadith,
Abu Hurairah narrated that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said on behalf of his Lord:
"I will declare war against him who shows hostility to a pious worshiper of mine.
And my servant never comes closer to Me by virtue of anything more than that which I have made compulsory upon him,
and my slave continues to draw closer to me by performing optional good deeds until I love him,
and if I were to love him I become the hearing by which he hears, the eyesight by which he sees,
the hand by which he strikes and the legs by which he walks."
(Bukhari & Muslim)
Things Which Instigate Allah's Love
Ibn Al-Qayyim, may Allah have mercy upon him,
mentioned some examples of things which instigate the love of Allah:
1. Reciting the Quran with attentiveness and pondering over its meanings.
2. Performing optional acts of worship after fulfilling the obligatory ones.
3. Always remembering Allah in the heart, by the tongue and deeds,
because one will benefit proportional to the amount that he remembers Allah.
4. Favoring His love over any other love, particularly when your desires become strong.
5. Striving hard to reach that which He loves.
6. Learning and pondering over His qualities and attributes,
because the one who learns and ponders over the qualities and attributes of Allah
will certainly love Him due to this.
7. Thinking about His apparent and concealed favors and kindness.
8. Supplicating and appealing to Him during the last third of every night,
reciting His Book, standing with full servitude before Him and begging for His forgiveness.
9. Being around righteous people who sincerely love Allah and learning the best of what they say,
just as one would pick the best fruit from a tree.
Also, one should not speak unless one is certain that this is the correct thing to do
and that one will benefit by this.
10. Refraining from anything which might become an obstacle between oneself and Allah.
All these can be achieved by being willing to perform them and having insight,
which can only happen after the help of Allah.
The Qualities of those whom Allah loves

nor did they weaken nor degrade themselves. And Allah loves the patient."

Beware of Having The Following Qualities
Allah has described in His Book the qualities that we must avoid
if we want to one of His believing servants that He loves:
Disbelief:
"But if they turn away, then Allah does not like the disbelievers."
(Al 'Imran:32)
Transgression:
"And fight in the way of Allah those who fight you, but transgress not the limits.
Truly, Allah likes not the transgressors."
(Al-Baqarah:190)
Mischief-making:
"And they (ever) strive to make mischief on the earth.
And Allah does not like the mischief-makers."
(Al- Ma'idah:64)
Oppression:
"But whoever forgives and makes reconciliation, his reward is with Allah.
Verily, He likes not the oppressors."
(Ash-Shoora:40)
Pride and boastfulness:
"Verily Allah does not like such as are proud and boastful."
(An-Nisa':36)
Betrayal:
"And argue not on behalf of those who deceive themselves.
Verily, Allah does not like anyone who is a betrayer, sinner."
(An-Nisa': 107).
Publicly uttering evil:
"Allah does not like that the evil should be uttered in public
except by him who has been wronged."
(An-Nisa':148)
Extravagance:
"Eat and drink but waste not by extravagance,
certainly He (Allah) likes not those who waste by extravagance."
(Al-A'raf:31)
Taking pride and being ungrateful:
"Remember when his people said to him: Do not exult (with riches, being ungrateful to Allah).
Verily, Allah likes not those who exult (with riches, being ungrateful to Allah)."
