189. Love for Allah's pious and belovedpersonages is showing love for Allah, and to bear any malice towards these pious sages, is in reality expressing malice towards Allah. Says Allah "Then follow me, Allah will love you" (S3: V 31). It also expounds that the true servants of the Beloved of Allah are liked by Allah e.g. Because Hazrat Jibraeel is theservant of Allah's Prophets, he is held in such high esteem by Allah; that his enemy is Allah's enemy. Furthermore, to show enmity to one angel is equal to showing enmity to all the angels. The same is with enmity in respect to Prophets and Saints of Allah.
