Obedience to Rasool is means of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ’s Love

قُلۡ  اِنۡ کُنۡتُمۡ تُحِبُّوۡنَ اللّٰہَ فَاتَّبِعُوۡنِیۡ
 یُحۡبِبۡکُمُ اللّٰہُ وَ یَغۡفِرۡ لَکُمۡ ذُنُوۡبَکُمۡ ؕ وَ اللّٰہُ غَفُوۡرٌ  رَّحِیۡمٌ ﴿۳۱﴾

Proclaim, ‘O mankind! If you love Allah, follow me - Allah will love you and forgive you your sins’; and Allah is Oft Forgiving, Most Merciful.

[Translation of Kanz-ul-Iman](Part 3, Surah Al-Imran, verse 31)

From this blessed verse it has been learnt that the claim of loving Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ can be true only when we obey the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.Talking about the summary of this blessed verse Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan Na’eemi
رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has stated: O the Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! You tell the people that who claim to love Me without your Wasilah or those who considering themselves the beloved of their Rab want to be independent of you or those who want to get close to Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ by other sources rather than your obedience; make this announcement to all of them that if you want to love Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, so neither compete with me nor claim to be of my equal, nor go ahead of me, but rather being slave follow me.  

Follow me in your sayings, actions, deeds, in short, in every walk of life and become totally absorbed in me, then things will be contrary that Rub will make you His Beloved and whatever you will, He will do, besides this He will forgive all of your sins because Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ is very forgiving and the most merciful; you enable yourself to have His forgiveness and mercy, then get its pleasure. (Tafseer Na’eemi, vol. 3, pp. 359 -360)

Therefore, we should also spend our day and night in compliance with the commandments of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and His Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم because it is the demand of love that the person who is loved should be obeyed.
