In the perspective of Sufism, God's love precedes humans' love for their God because if God has loved them, as His servants, then they can never reject His love because that love comes first from God. Love in the tradition of Sufism is a great stage (maqamat) for the man to know and get closer to God. This research uses qualitative research approach. This approach serves to interpret, express, and explain the concept of Sufism about love. It is library research, with the primary data source is the work of the Sufi-poets like Jalaluddin Rumi and Imam Al-Ghazali.
