"Allah loves those who are equitable" Quraan 5:42

إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُقْسِطِينَ
المائدة : ٤٢

Allah loves the equitable, the fair, the impartial.

How equitable?
"O you who believe, you shall be absolutely equitable, and observe Allah, when you serve as witnesses, even against yourselves, or your parents, or your relatives. Whether the accused is rich or poor, Allah takes care of both. Therefore, do not be biased by your personal wishes. If you deviate or disregard (this commandment), then Allah is fully Cognizant of everything you do." Quraan 4:135

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ كُونُواْ قَوَّامِينَ بِالْقِسْطِ شُهَدَاء لِلَّهِ وَلَوْ عَلَى أَنفُسِكُمْ أَوِ الْوَالِدَيْنِ وَالأَقْرَبِينَ إِن يَكُنْ غَنِيًّا أَوْ فَقِيرًا فَاللَّهُ أَوْلَى بِهِمَا فَلاَ تَتَّبِعُواْ الْهَوَى أَن تَعْدِلُواْ وَإِن تَلْوُواْ أَوْ تُعْرِضُواْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرًا
النساء : ١٣٥

الطلاق : ٣

Allah loves the steadfast

"Allah loves the steadfast." Quraan 3:146

اللَّهُ يُحِبُّ الصَّابِرِينَ
آل عمران : ١٤٦

"the steadfast" is equal to "Al Sabreen" in the original/Arabic verse.


Who are "Al Sabreen"/the steadfast?
"....Give good news to the steadfast,

When an affliction befalls them, they say, "We belong to Allah, and to Him we are returning." " Quraan 2:155-156

وَبَشِّرِ الصَّابِرِينَ

الَّذِينَ إِذَا أَصَابَتْهُم مُّصِيبَةٌ قَالُواْ إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ

البقرة : ١٥٥-١٥٦

What does Allah say about them?
"These have deserved blessings from their Lord and mercy. These are the guided ones." Quraan 2:157

أُوْلَئِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ صَلَوَاتٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِمْ وَرَحْمَةٌ وَأُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْمُهْتَدُونَ
البقرة : ١٥٧

Allah loves the righteous

"Allah loves the righteous" Quraan 3:76

إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُتَّقِينَ
آل عمران: ٧٦

"the righteous" is equivalent to "Al Mutaqeen" in the Arabic (original) version of the verse.


Who are "Al Mutaqeen"/the righteous/the pious?

Allah loves the repenters, and He loves those who are clean.

"Allah loves the repenters, and He loves those who are clean." Quraan 2:222

إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ التَّوَّابِينَ وَيُحِبُّ الْمُتَطَهِّرِينَ
البقرة - الآية ٢٢٢

"the repenters" is the equivalent part of the original Arabic word "Al Tawabeen" in the verse which means "people who frequently repent".

"who are clean" is the equivalent part of the original Arabic word "Al Mutahireen" in the verse which means "people who frequently get cleansed"

Therefore, Allah love the people who frequently clean themselves up internally (heart & mind) and externally (body & appearance), tangibly (filth) and intangibly (sins & evil thoughts).

Allah loves the charitable/perfectionist

How would you feel if you know you are beloved by Allah?

"Allah loves the charitable" Quraan 2:195

وَأَنفِقُواْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَلاَ تُلْقُواْ بِأَيْدِيكُمْ إِلَى التَّهْلُكَةِ وَأَحْسِنُواْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُحْسِنِينَ
البقرة - الآية ١٩٥

The original Arabic counterpart of the word 'charitable' in the verse above is 'Muhseneen', the people who do 'Ihsan'.

Who are the Muhseneen?

"One day the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him and his household) appeared before the public that a man came to him and asked: what does al-Ihsan imply? the Messenger of Allah replied: That you worship Allah as if you are seeing Him, and in case you fail to see Him, then observe prayer (with this idea in your mind) that (at least) He is seeing you." Sahih Muslim - The Book of Faith (Kitab Al-Iman)

The 'worship' in the context above doesn't only mean the obligatory prayer but rather means anything you do for the sake of Allah.
