I’m confused right now as to whether Allah SWT would rather have us compete for His SWT love or pray all Muslims are EQUALLY tremendously dear to Him SWT. Thank you for your help thus far. May Allah SWT guide us all. Amin Ya Rabb

No one knows what Allah Ta'ala wants to do with His slaves. Leave that part to Allah the Almighty. We make our Dua and Allah Ta'ala does what is best for us. Don't unnecessary complicate things. Keep it simple. Make Dua for all mankind. Allah is not just merciful He is The MOST Merciful. So don't worry about equality and stuff like that, everyone is happy in Jannah. There is a hadith that mentions that in Jannah when a person of a lower rank meets a person of a higher rank, His looks and garments will become more beautiful to match that of the higher rank. Allah Ta'ala knows how to please His creation. So don't worry about that. Just make the Dua and Allah knows best.
