Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

Allah's Love is Attained by Following the MessengerThis honorable Ayah judges against those who claim to love Allah, yet do not follow the way of Muhammad . Such people are not true in their claim until they follow the Shari`ah (Law) of Muhammad and his religion in all his statements, actions and conditions.
