Allah's Love

[Cordoba]

[FONT=Arial,Geneva,Verdana,Sans-Serif]Those who Love Allah Also Love Believers[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial,Geneva,Verdana,Sans-Serif]Those who are loved by Allah are also loved by believers; those who befriend Allah also befriend the believers; those who earn His good pleasure also earn that of the believers; and whoever loves Allah should also love His servants. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Geneva,Verdana,Sans-Serif][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Geneva,Verdana,Sans-Serif]Those pious believers who follow His path are among those people most loved by Allah. For this reason, believers love one another and are very concerned about each other. Many verses relate the believers’ love for one another, their closeness to each other, their mercy to each other and their attachment to each other. [/FONT]

[Cordoba]

Those believers who possess faith and want to enter Paradise and to reside there forever with all the prophets, the affirmers of truth, and the righteous must, while they are in this world, learn to love others and acquire characteristics that are loved by others. One of Paradise’s greatest beauties is the infinite friendship between those people who love each other and possess beautiful morals.
[FONT=Arial,Geneva,Verdana,Sans-Serif][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Geneva,Verdana,Sans-Serif]The path to Paradise is to love Allah completely and to become a person whom Allah loves very much. Such people fear (and respect) Allah (Surat at-Tawba, 4; Surah Al ‘Imran, 76), purify themselves (Surat at-Tawba, 108; Surat al-Baqara, 222), are even-handed (Surat al-Hujurat, 9) and steadfast (Surah Al ‘Imran, 146), are good-doers (Surat al-Baqara, 195), turn from wrong-doing (Surat al-Baqara, 222), and put their trust in Him (Surah Al ‘Imran, 159).[/FONT]


[FONT=Arial,Geneva,Verdana,Sans-Serif]The supplication for love mentioned by our Prophet (saas) is a significant example of understanding the love felt for Allah and the believers:[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial,Geneva,Verdana,Sans-Serif]The Prophet said: “One of the supplications of Prophet Dawud (as) was: ‘Allah, I beg of You Your love, the love of those who love You, and such conduct as should lead me to Your love. Allah, make Your love dearer to me than my soul and my family[FONT=Arial,Geneva,Verdana,Sans-Serif]and dearer than cold water.[/FONT]’” [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial,Geneva,Verdana,Sans-Serif](Hadith in At-Tirmidhi)[/FONT]

[Cordoba]

[FONT=Arial,Geneva,Verdana,Sans-Serif]Be friends with Allah and trust Him. [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial,Geneva,Verdana,Sans-Serif]Never think something like, "I am not appropriate for Allah, for this reason Allah doesn't love me." Allah loves everybody. Allah loves everybody paralell to the degree of their love to Allah. But He loves you more than you. For example a thousand times more (I tell you with numbers). [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Geneva,Verdana,Sans-Serif][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Geneva,Verdana,Sans-Serif]If you love Allah one unit, Allah loves you one thousand units. Even more than that, but at least this much. When you begin to love Allah two units, the love of Allah becomes two thousand units. When you increase your love three units, it becomes three thousand units.

So this goes on this way. But if you love Allah less, Allah loves you less, too. If you love Allah much, Allah loves you much too. [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial,Geneva,Verdana,Sans-Serif]Repentance [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial,Geneva,Verdana,Sans-Serif]"Truly, Allah loves those who turn unto him in repentance." (2:222)[/FONT]

absolutly key is to repent for what you did. If u did not u might be punished for it. Muslim or not

[FONT=Arial,Geneva,Verdana,Sans-Serif]Worship & The Love of Allah[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Geneva,Verdana,Sans-Serif][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Geneva,Verdana,Sans-Serif]The truth is that worship is an expression of love for Allah, and it also expresses complete humility to Allah. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Geneva,Verdana,Sans-Serif][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Geneva,Verdana,Sans-Serif]For worship does not only mean prayer but prayer is merely a sign of worship but worship is indeed love for Allah.[/FONT]

 

[Cordoba]

[FONT=Arial,Geneva,Verdana,Sans-Serif]One of the greatest causes that bring about one's love for Allah is increasing one's remembrance of Allah. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Geneva,Verdana,Sans-Serif][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Geneva,Verdana,Sans-Serif]Whenever a person loves something, he remembers it more often. And it is through the remembrance of Allah that the hearts find tranquility. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Geneva,Verdana,Sans-Serif][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Geneva,Verdana,Sans-Serif]In fact, one of the signs of having love for Allah is the constant remembrance of Allah by one's heart and tongue.[/FONT]

May I ask a question...?
Christians believe that God loves all mankind.
Does Allah love everyone, or only the certain people you have listed?

 

[Cordoba]

Hello Terry:

God loves all mankind, as we are all His creation.

Any person who takes one step to find God, He will take many steps to bring him/her near.

[FONT=Arial,Geneva,Verdana,Sans-Serif]Excellence of Loving Allah[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Geneva,Verdana,Sans-Serif][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Geneva,Verdana,Sans-Serif]Love for Allah and His Messenger above the love of everything else is one of the characteristics of Faith and a sign that he has tasted the sweetness of Faith, according to the saying of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him): [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Geneva,Verdana,Sans-Serif][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Geneva,Verdana,Sans-Serif]“There are three characteristics that if one possesses then, he has tasted the sweetness of Faith; that Allah and His Messenger is more beloved to him than anyone other than them, that he loves a person and he only love him for the sake of Allah, and that he hates to return to disbelief just as he hated to be thrown into the Fire.” [/FONT]


[Hadith in Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

[FONT=Arial,Geneva,Verdana,Sans-Serif]An Nawawi stated: “the meaning of ‘the sweetness of Faith’ is that the person gets pleasure out of obedience and bearing hardships and he prefers that over worldly desires.”

[FONT=Arial,Geneva,Verdana,Sans-Serif]The truth is that worship is an expression of love for Allah, and it also expresses complete humility to Allah. [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial,Geneva,Verdana,Sans-Serif]Love for Allah's sake, meeting for that and parting upon that:

[/FONT][FONT=Arial,Geneva,Verdana,Sans-Serif]Having mutual love for the sake of Allah is one of the great doors leading to the good of the Hereafter and a cause of tasting the sweetness of faith in this world. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Geneva,Verdana,Sans-Serif][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Geneva,Verdana,Sans-Serif]Allah, the Mighty and Magnificent says in a Hadeeth Qudsi (Sacred Hadeeth): "Those who have mutual love for the sake of My Glory will have pillars of light and will be envied the Prophets and martyrs." (Tirmidhi & Ahmad)

Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, said:
[FONT=Arial,Geneva,Verdana,Sans-Serif]"The servants God loves most are those most sincere with God’s servants.” [/FONT]

(Hadith in Musnad Ahmad)

 

[Cordoba]

Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, said:

[FONT=Arial,Geneva,Verdana,Sans-Serif]"Allah the Almighty has said: 'Whosoever acts with enmity towards a closer servant of Mine (wali), I will indeed declare war against him. Nothing endears My servant to Me than doing of what I have made obligatory upon him to do. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Geneva,Verdana,Sans-Serif][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Geneva,Verdana,Sans-Serif]And My servant continues to draw nearer to Me with supererogatory deeds so that I shall love him. When I love him, I shall be his hearing with which he shall hear, his sight with which he shall see, his hands with which he shall hold, and his feet with which he shall walk. And if he asks (something) of Me, I shall surely give it to him, and if he takes refuge in Me, I shall certainly grant him it.'"[/FONT]

(Hadith in Al-Bukhari)

[FONT=Arial,Geneva,Verdana,Sans-Serif]Q: Does God ever give humans unconditional love?[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Geneva,Verdana,Sans-Serif][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Geneva,Verdana,Sans-Serif]A: [FONT=Arial,Geneva,Verdana,Sans-Serif]A simple answer to your question would be that God loves humans but hates their sins. [/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Geneva,Verdana,Sans-Serif][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Geneva,Verdana,Sans-Serif]This means that although bad deeds merit God's disapproval and subsequent punishment, they also invoke His infinite mercy on a weak creature whom He had lovingly created, to whom He had given life, and whom He had nurtured with gifts and bounty. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Geneva,Verdana,Sans-Serif][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Geneva,Verdana,Sans-Serif]Allah describes Himself in the Qur'an as "the Loving":[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Geneva,Verdana,Sans-Serif][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Geneva,Verdana,Sans-Serif]*{And He is the Forgiving and Loving}* (Al-Buruj 85:14)
[/FONT][FONT=Arial,Geneva,Verdana,Sans-Serif][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Geneva,Verdana,Sans-Serif]Yet love must be expressed in action; otherwise it's just a word without meaning. For example: A man may say to his wife "I love you" and then may treat her badly. Does he love her?
[FONT=Arial,Geneva,Verdana,Sans-Serif]
[FONT=Arial,Geneva,Verdana,Sans-Serif]Love between humans and God follows the same principle of actions consistent with words. It must mean obedience from us to God — as His grateful creation — and mercy from God to us as our loving Creator.[/FONT]

Is God's Love Unconditional?
