Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Foundations and Purposes of Imam Mahdi's (a) Global Government Purifying Our Love For the Imam (as) We need to clean up our heart from the dirt so that the light of Allah could move in with the fullest magnitude.

We should purify our love and affection for Ahl al-Bait (AS), and keep aloof from their enemies: Imam al-Baqir (AS) and Imam al-Sadiq (AS) narrated that the Apostle of Allah (PBUH&HF) said, "Everything has a principle, and the principle of Islam is the love of us Ahl al-Bait."[^42] Also: Imam al-Ridha (AS) said, "The perfection of religion is: accepting our Wilaya and keeping aloof from our enemy."[^43] In another Hadith we read: Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, "He who claims to love us but he does not keep aloof from our enemy, is a liar."[^44] Abu Jarud narrated: About the verse "Allah has not assigned unto any man two hearts within his body (33:4)", Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, Ali Ibn Abi Talib, peace be upon him said, "Allah does not gather our love and the love of our enemy within a human's heart.

Therefore, if you want to know how much you love us, you should test your heart; if you have shared the love our enemies in your heart, you are not of us and we are not of you. Allah is their enemy, and so are 'Gabriel and Michael, and Allah is the enemy of the disbelievers.

Then he (AS) said, "The friend of the enemy of Allah is an enemy of Allah."[^46] When a person really loves someone, and see that another person shows hostility to his friend, it is naturally expected that he opposes and dislike his friend's enemy; otherwise, it shows that such love was not a true one, it was rather only a show due to hypocrisy.

This is purely a rational reality, which is also testified in Quran: "You will not find any people who believe in Allah and the Last Day, but love those who opposed Allah and His Messenger, even though they were their fathers, their sons, their brothers, or their kindred...
