Sevgining to'rt turi bor, ularni bir-biridan farqlash kerak, kim ularni ajrata olmasa, albatta adashgan bo'ladi. Birinchisi, Allohga bo'lgan muhabbat; bu o'zi insonni Allohning azobidan qutqarish va Uning mukofotiga erishtirish uchun yetarli emas, chunki mushriklar, Xoch'ga sig'inuvchilar (nasroniylar) va yahudiylar ham Allohni sevishini da'vo qiladilar. Ikkinchisi, Alloh sevgan narsani sevish. Aynan shu turdagi muhabbat insonni Islomga kiritadi va uni shirkdan chiqaradi. Allohga eng sevimli odamlar bu turdagi sevgini yaxshi ado etuvchilardir. Uchinchisi, Alloh uchun sevish; bu Alloh ﷻ sevgan narsalarni sevishning shartlaridan biridir. To'rtinchisi, sevgini Allohdan boshqalarga yo'naltirish; Allohni va boshqa butlarni bir vaqtda sevish. Bu mushriklarning sevgisidir. Kim Alloh bilan birga boshqalarni, Alloh uchun bo'lmagan holda sevsa, u ularni Allohdan boshqa iloh qilib olgan bo'ladi. Yana beshinchi tur sevgi bor, u bizning mavzuimizga kirmaydi. Bu insonning tabiatiga mos narsalarga bo'lgan tabiiy sevgisidir; masalan, chanqagan kishining suvga, och kishining taomga, uyquga, xotiniga va farzandlariga bo'lgan sevgisi. Bu turdagi sevgilar, agar ular odamni Allohni eslashdan va Uni sevishdan chalg'itmasa, tanqid qilinmaydi. Alloh ﷻ aytdi: ({Ey iymon keltirganlar! Mollaringiz ham, farzandlaringiz ham sizni Allohni zikr etishdan chalg'itmasin}) va Alloh ﷻ yana aytdi: ({Ularni na savdo, na tijorat Allohni zikr etishdan chalg'itmaydigan erkaklardir}).2

There are four types of love, which should be distinguished from eachother, and whosoever is not able to differentiate between them is indeed led astray. First, love for Allah; this alone is not enough to save man from the Punishment of Allah, and to receive His Reward, for the polytheists and those who worship the Cross (the Christians) and the Jews claim to love Allah. Second, to love what Allah ~ loves. It is this type which enters a person into Islam and removes him from polytheism. The dearest of people to Allah are those who observe this kind of love well. Third, to love for Allah's Sake, which ts one of the prerequisites of loving what He ~ loves. Fourth, to direct one ' s love to others besides Allah; loving Allah ~ and other idols at the same time. This is the love of polytheists. Whoever loves others along with Allah , not for the Sake of Allah, then he has taken them as other gods besides Allah. There is another fifth type of love, which is not part of our subject. It is man's natural love for things which are suitable to his nature; such as the love of the thirsty person for water, and the hungry one for food; the love of sleep, one's wife and children. These are types of love which are not criticised, unless they distract a man from remembering Allah ~ . and from loving Him. Allah ~ said: ( 0 you who believe! Let not your properties nor your children divert you from the remembrance of Allah ) 1 and He ~ also said: (Men whom neither sale nor trade diverts from the remembrance of Allah.)2
