Love is different for everyone. Some define it in complete opposite terms to what others would but no mater what your definition of love is, the only true love, is the love for the creator, the lord of the worlds, Allah [aza wajal]. Every Muslim will claim to love Allah, but how many of us truly do and if we truly do, how many of us know how to love Allah. Allah [subhanahu wa ta3la] says in Surah Imran, verse 31:

قُلْ إِن كُنتُمْ تُحِبُّونَ اللّهَ فَاتَّبِعُونِي يُحْبِبْكُمُ اللّهُ

Say [O Prophet]: “If you love Allah, follow me, Allah will love you..

Allah [aza wajal] is saying IF you love Allah so theres a condition. If you don’t love Allah, then the ayah is not referring to you. Allah is telling the messenger of Allah [salAllahu alayhi wa salam] to tell the people that if we love Allah, the we should follow the Prophet [salAllahu alayhi wa salam]. And to follow him means to love him and follow his sunnah. If we love Allah we can prove it by following the sunnah, in return Allah will love us and with this inshaAllah we shall find true love *smiles*
