The fact is that no one can claim to love someone but in action does not do what the lover demands. Just a mere love that is not accompanied with required action could not be a real love.
The proof of this is clear because man definitely loves something due to some perfections that he finds in some one. Man will never love something that does not have anything going for him. For example, if we love a person it is because we love his or her skills, talents, beauty, power, spiritual sanctity and other different perfections and impeccabilities. Therefore, man’s love of his Imam is because the Imam is the principle source of all perfection. Then add to it, that such an existent that by the permission of Allah is the source of all the goodness and beauty has a very perfect program from Allah. In this state, how is it possible for man who loves perfection to reject these programs? If he rejected it, does not it show that he is not really in love?
Based on this, to love the Imam has to accompany the required action. Likewise, those who claim to love Allah, the Leaders of Islam, the soldiers in the path of Allah, or the righteous but there is no similarity between these figures and people’s actions they are nothing but liars or Satan misrepresents the case for them and makes them just feel they are the real lovers while in reality they are not. Those who are polluted with sins from head to toe but claim their hearts are filled with the love of Allah, the Prophet, and the Divine Leaders of Islam or believe that faith and love is only in the heart and does not have any relation with actions are completely unaware of Islamic logic.
