How is the term 'ego' meant in this context?
I guess what I'm trying to say is what need or want would God have of love for itself from others?
A human desires the love of others because it has needs to fulfill, and having people love you means they will care for you and so your needs get fulfilled.
Is your God the same? Does an omnipotent God have needs? If it has needs is it impotent to fulfill them without the love and help of others?

Be who ever you want
I believe Allah has a deep compassion for all human beings because we are put in a situation where we suffer due to our physical body, and that Allah only wish the best for us, and thereby gave teaching so we could end our physical suffering, and one day be with him in heaven.
And by practicing the teaching, we realize for our self how good it must be to be next to Allah because of how he have given teachings for us to cultivate so that we can be like him.
But it is the humans who must do the work them self to be able to follow and learn from the teaching.
How could God who is uncaused and infinitely blessed in Himself need anything?
Precisely why God does not need our love
Agreed.
