Acts of obedience are beloved to Allah, while acts of disobedience, though subject to His decree, are not beloved to Him.

Every form of obedience is obligatory by Allah’s command, by His love, His approval, His knowledge, His will, His decree, and His predestination. All forms of disobedience take place by His knowledge, His decree, His predestination, and His will, yet they are neither beloved to Him nor approved by Him, nor are they the object of His command.
