We hate the disbelievers and we love the believers. We hate the disobedient Muslims according to their level of disobedience, and we love them for their level of of obedience.*‘Abdullaah ibn ‘Umar*(may Allaah be pleased with him) was going between Safaa and Marwah (making ‘Umrah) when a long-bearded man, a mu’ath-thin of the Haram, said to him, “O Abaa ‘Abdir-Rahmaan! I love you for the sake of Allaah!” He replied,*“But I hate you for the sake of Allaah!”*His companions blamed him for that, but he defended himself, saying: “He goes overboard in (calling) the athaan, and he takes money for it!” (Musannaf*of ‘Abdur-Razzaaq, 1/481) Al-Albaanee authenticated it in*as-Silsilah as-Saheehah*(1/104).What scares me is some people whose use some religion as justify their hate against other people they don´t know at all but whose belong to some other group (religion or nation or race). It´s only a small step when some others may also justify the violence against others by the same arguments. And it has already happend. Many many times.
I don't mean to argue but
Can you please tell me how you put your head around this then, If we shouldn't hate kuffar?
I think that you can love and hate someone at the same time as per the proof shown in the above post.
Also, I am aware that people can take these concepts to extremes and it can be a horrible thing but also we should be concerned about making these things impact us so that we go on the total opposite side of their extremism(not that I think you are) rather we should have moderation
إِنَّ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ طَرَفَيْنِ وَوَسَطًا فَإِذَا أَمْسَكْتَ بِأَحَدِ الطَّرَفَيْنِ مَالَ الآخَرُ وَإِذَا أَمْسَكْتَ بِالْوَسَطِ اعْتَدَلَ الطَّرَفَانِ ثُمَّ قَالَ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالأَوْسَطِ مِنَ الأَشْيَاءِ
Verily, everything has two ends and a middle. If you hold one of the ends, the other will be skewed. If you hold the middle, the two ends will be balanced. You must seek the middle ground in all things.
