Ibn al-Qayyim [May Allaah have Mercy on him] said:
‘Al-Ilaah’ (i.e. God) is something that your heart turns
to with love, magnifying it and consoles itself in. It respects this deity,
extoling it, humble with its manners towards it, submitting, fearing, hoping
and relying upon it. End Quote.
Ibn Rajab [May Allaah have Mercy on him] said:
‘Al-Ilaah’ (i.e. God) is something that you obey in its
commandments and you abstain from what it prohibits. Something you give extreme
status and glorification to, loving it, fearing it, hoping and relying upon it.
You ask it in your supplication and you don’t avert any of these things to
anything besides it - Allaah, the Glorified and the Exalted.
So whoever directs any of these sole to other than Allaah
from the creation then he has committed Shirk, his sincerity towards the
statement, ‘There is no God but Allaah’ becomes infected and this level of
sincerity becomes more severe depending upon the degree of Shirk this person
continues to commit. End Quote.
[Fath al-Majeed Sharh Kitaab
at-Tawheed (Pg 25-26)]
