Two Things Happen When Allah Loves You

If Allah loves you, you will gain two things. 

First, if Allah loves you (reported by Abu Huraira (R.A) in Shahih Bukhari and Muslim), Allah will call Jibreel (A.S). When Allah calls Jibreel, and Allah will say to Jibril “I love my servant so-and-so, therefore you must love him as well.” 

Second, if Allah loves you, you will not be touched by jahannam (hell). In Al-mustadrak al-hakim, the messenger of Allah said, wallahi, by Allah, Allah will not throw the ones that he loves them, into jahannam. If Allah loves you, Jahannam will never touch you.

Imagine if there is an important person in your country. The most important person calls you for an invitation or calls someone who has a lot of power on your behalf, and then that important person mentions you. Whether it is a queen, whether it is the president, whoever he is, but somebody that’s important calls you. It is guaranteed that you feel so honored. You will share that with everybody that you know. But, imagine if Allah calls Jibreel, and Allah will say to Jibreel “I love my servant so-and-so, therefore you must love him too.” Jibreel would not object because he is an angle. Allah said “they do not disobey Allah”. They will love you immediately.

This did happen to one of the sahabah. In Sahih Al-bukhari and Muslim, Jibreel said, “O Messenger of Allah. Surely Allah told you to recite this surah to Ubay Ibn Ka’b. “Then the Prophet went and knocked on Ubay's door. Then Ubay opened the door, “O Messenger of Allah. Welcome! How happy I am today with your coming!” The Prophet said, “Verily Allah told me to read the letter Al-Bayyinah to you.” Ubay said, “And He calls me before His angels?” The Prophet answered, “Yes, He said your name.” At that instant Ubay cried, then Rasulullah SAW sat and recited surah Al-Bayyinah until it was finished. “

Ubay bin ka’b cannot imagine him being a simple human being, him being nothing, nothing but a mercy of Allah. Then, he accepted Islam through the mercy of Allah, and he became a hafidh. Yet, he became a companion of Rasoolullah.
