Hazrat said that people who are truly religious have a lot of love for Allah's creations, and this love of His creations is a sign that they have true love for Allah. Moulana Romi says in a verse:
زتسبیح و سجّادہ و دلق نیست
طریقت بجز خدمتِ خلق نیست
It means that Tareeqat (Tasawwuf) doesn't consist of just Tasbeeh, Musallah or a specific attire, Tareeqat is nothing without helping other human beings.
Hazrat Dr Abdul Hai Rehmatullah Elaih used to say that when a person starts loving Allah Ta'alah, and Allah Ta'alah starts loving him too, then Allah Ta'alah blesses him with love of His creations, as a result of which that person starts loving other human beings, and even animals, so much that we can't even begin to imagine the depth of that love.
