The love of Allah Ta'ala

Q: I have come across an aayaat or Ahaadith that state the following: Allah loves it when.....Allah loves those who are...Allah loves this....Allah loves that if one.....etc. So My question is:

1.) What are the virtues or reward in doing those things that Allah loves?

2.) When you do those things that Allah loves, will you get his mercy and pleasure?

A:

1. When one gains the closeness and proximity of a great personality e.g. the king, then he understands that this is the key to all comforts and honour. It is the key to palatial homes and mansions, it is the key to fast and sporty cars and it is the key to fulfilling one's dreams and aspirations. When you have the proximity and the pleasure of the king of kings, Allah Ta'ala, who is in control of everything, then you can well imagine the extent of happiness and comfort you will enjoy.

2. Definitely.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
