The answer

For a person to find the sweetness of faith, Allah and His Messenger must be dearer to him than anything else, and he must love a person for no other reason than for the sake of Allah, and he must hate to return to disbelief. The love of Allah is the foundation, for the love of anything else is secondary to His love, glory be to Him. Attributes are inseparable from the essence except in the mind, so knowing Allah's attributes, names, and actions is one of the foundations of His love. It is advised to avoid excessive delving into questions and to occupy oneself with beneficial knowledge that repels misgivings.
