What About Love In The Quran? by malvisguy212: 12:46am On Aug 21, 2015 |
In the middle of the confusion of the war on terrorism is the question of the nature of the religion of Islam. Some say that it is a peaceful religion at its heart, that only the fringe extremists are bent on war. One side claims that "jihad" means a personal struggle against evil in one's behavior. Others claim that it means conquest of the part of the world that is not Muslim, by whatever means necessary, including acts of terror. Both sides refer to specific passages in the Koran for support. For the soul winner, these are not the important issues. Bible believers are asking, "How can we reach Muslims with the gospel which will solve their struggle against evil?" One way involves God's love.The biblical concept of God loving the sinner, is FOREIGN TO MUSLIM THINKING. To them, Allah is "compassionate" and "merciful," BUT only to those who obey him. Their relationship to Allah is not as father and son but more as MASTER AND SLAVE. Allah is not pictured in the quran as a loving Creator, longing for an intimate relationship with man. Biblical concepts found in John 3:16, 1 John 4:6-10 ("God is love" and in the Lord's prayer where we address God as "Our Father" are nowhere found in Muslim thinking. Muslims memorize the "99 beautiful names of Allah,"BUT "love" or "loving" is no where in that list. "The love of God is the chief attribute of the biblical God as revealed in such places as John 3:16.God has feelings for his creatures, especially man" But when we turn to the Quran, we do not find love presented as the chief attribute of Allah. Instead, the transcendence of Allah is his chief attribute. "Neither does Allah 'have feelings' toward man. That concept is foreign to Islamic teaching. That would reduce Allah to being a mere man -which again is blasphemous to a Muslim." "The greatest difference between the two faiths is the personal quality of God," writes Emir and Ergun Caner in Unveiling Islam. "ONE MUST LOVE Allah IN ORDER FOR Allah TO LOVE THAT PERSON IN RETURN .In Christianity, God loved people first in order to secure their salvation" The story that Jesus told of the prodigal son illustrates a side of God that is foreign to the followers of Allah. The Quran states flatly that "Allah loves NOT those who reject Faith"(surah 3:32). "The Muslim can be totally sure that Allah will never restore a believer who has rejected the faith of Islam," we must show the Muslim that Allah offers "no love, no sure forgiveness of sins and only empty dreams of a false paradise." Only Jesus, the God of the Bible, loved us while were yet sinners,offering sure forgiveness, and eternal life with a loving heavenly Father. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

There's no love in that evil religion. Its 100% bitterness, hate,bloodshed. If a Muslim ever shows love its only because he saw a Christian examplify it. Yet at that many of them respond to love with suspicion, aggression and violence cos the concept is so foreign to them. |

There is no injuction to love anybody in the quran. What they have in islam are: Kill unbelievers (islamic terrorism). Marry many wives. Sleep with slave women. Marry the wife of one's adopted son after forcing him to divorce. Exchange old wives with new ones. Finger small girls, Marry a baby girl. Have temporary wives (mukta). Lie to defend islam. Force people to accept islam. Lie that all Jews' prophets are muslims. Lie that the disciples who wrote the Gospel are muslims. Lie that Jesus is not the Son of God, Islam has everything sinful, lacks everything holy. 6 Likes |

ByfireByfire: 100% bitterness? Really Please I beg everyone reading this (non Muslim and Muslim too) please take your time and try to read everything below or read as much you can and if God wills you might have a better understanding of Islam Quranic verses (words of Allah) For those that do care to know the truth and the Quran if it really says anything about love all I have to say is there are many many verses that talks about love which you normally don't hear from the media And speak good to people [al-Baqarah 2:83] And fulfil the Covenant of Allaah when you have covenanted [al-Nahl 16:91] Verily! Allaah commands that you should render back the trusts to those to whom they are due [al-Nisa’ 4:58] And let not your hand be tied (like a miser) to your neck, nor stretch it forth to its utmost reach (like a spendthrift) [al-Isra’ 17:29] Eat and drink, but waste not by extravagance [al-A’raaf 7:31] And take a provision (with you) for the journey, but the best provision is al-taqwa (piety, righteousness) [al-Baqarah 2:197] By no means shall you attain al-birr (righteousness) until you spend (in Allaah’s cause) of that which you love [Aal ‘Imraan 3:92] And walk not on the earth with conceit and arrogance [al-Isra’ 17:37] And turn not your face away from men with pride [Luqmaan 31:18] And be moderate (or show no arrogance) in your walking, and lower your voice [Luqmaan 31:19] And give not a thing in order to have more (or consider not your deeds of obedience to Allaah as a favour to Allaah) [al-Muddaththir 74:6] “O ye who believe! Do not squander one another’s wealth in vanities, but let there be amongst you traffic and trade by mutual good will.” Qur’an:4:29 “When my servants ask thee (O, Muhammad) concerning Me, tell them I am indeed close (to them). I listen to the prayer of every suppliant when he calleth on Me.” Qur’an:2:186 “God does not forbid you to be kind and equitable to those who have neither fought against your faith nor driven you out of your homes. In fact God loves the equitable.” Qur’an:60:8 “Whoever recommends and helps a good cause becomes a partner therein, and whoever recommends and helps an evil cause shares in its burdens” Qur’an:4:85 “Be quick in the race for forgiveness from your Lord, and for a Garden (paradise) whose width is that of the heavens and of the earth, prepared for the righteous – Those who spend (freely), whether in prosperity or in adversity, who restrain (their) anger and pardon (all) men – for God loves those who do good.” Qur’an:3:133-134 “Whoever works righteousness, man or woman, and has faith, verily, to them will We give a new Life, a life that is good and pure, and We will bestow on such their reward according to the best of their actions.” Qur’an:16:97 The parable of those who spend their wealth in the way of God is that of a grain that sprouts into seven ears, each bearing one hundred grains. God gives manifold increase to whom He wishes. God has boundless knowledge. Those who spend their wealth in the cause of God, and do not follow their charity with reminders of their generosity or injure the feeling of the recipient, shall get their reward from their Lord; they shall have nothing to fear or to regret.Kind words and forgiveness are better than charity followed by injury. Qur’an:2:261-263 “O You who believe! Enter absolutely into peace (Islam). Do not follow in the footsteps of satan. He is an outright enemy to you.” (Holy Quran: 2, 208) “There is no compulsion where the religion is concerned.” (Holy Quran: 2/ 256) “God does not love corruption”. (Surat al-Baqara, 205) “Among His signs is that He created for you mates from among yourselves, in order to have tranquility with them and He put love and mercy between your (hearts) : verily in that are signs for those who reflect.” [Surah Ar-Rum 30:21] Hadith(sayings of Muhammad) Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “Every believer who consoles his brother in distress will be dressed by God in an apparel of honor on the Day of Resurrection.” Fiqh-us-Sunnah:V4N80a The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “If anyone transgresses and receives punishment in this world, God is too just to repeat the punishment of His servant in the next. And if anyone transgresses and God conceals it and forgives him, He is too generous to go back upon a thing He has forgiven.” Al-Tirmidhi:1023 The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “Do you know who will go first on the Day of Resurrection to the shade of God…Those who when given what is right accept it, when asked for something give freely and who judge in favor of others as they do for themselves.” Al-Tirmidhi:1042 The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “The best charity is that given to a relative who does not like you.” Fiqh-us-Sunnah:V3N100 The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “A man has sinned enough if he neglects to feed those in need.” Fiqh-us-Sunnah:V3N100 The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “Religion is very easy, and whoever overburdens himself in his religion will not be able to continue in that way. So you should not be extremists, but try to be near to perfection and receive the good tidings that you will be rewarded.” Bukhari:V1N38 The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “O God, grant me life as a poor man, cause me to die as a poor man and resurrect me in the company of the poor..” His wife asked him why he said that, and he replied: “Because (the poor) will enter Paradise (before) the rich. Do not turn away a poor man…even if all you can give is half a date. If you love the poor and bring them near you..God will bring you near Him on the Day of Resurrection.” Al-Tirmidhi:1376 The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was asked what type of earning was best, and he replied: “A man’s work with his hands and every (lawful) business transaction.” Al-Tirmidhi:846 The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “On the Day of Resurrection I will intercede and say, ‘O my Lord! Admit into Paradise (even) those who have faith equal to a mustard seed in their hearts.'” Bukhari:V9N600 A funeral procession once passed in front of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and he stood up out of respect. When he was told the person in the coffin was Jewish and not Muslim, he said: “Was it not a living (soul)?” Bukhari:V2N399 The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) once saw the corpse of a woman who had been killed in a military action, and he disapproved of it and forbade the killing of women and children.Abu Bakr as-Siddiq, a companion of the Prophet Muhammad and his successor as head of the Muslim community, advised one of his military commanders: “Do not kill women or children or an aged, infirm person. Do not cut down fruit-bearing trees. Do not destroy an inhabited place.” Al-Muwatta:V21N9-10 When asked what the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) did while in his house, his wife Ayesha relied: “He used to keep busy serving and helping members of the household.”Anas bin Malik related that: “(Even the humblest) maid servant of Madinah would take the Prophet’s hand and take him to any place (for the redress of her grievances).” Riyadh-us-Salaheen:605-606 The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “God has forbidden you to be undutiful to your mothers, to withhold (what you should give) or demand (what you do not deserve), or to bury your daughters alive (a pre-Islamic practice).” Bukhari:8:6 The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “The learned are heirs of the prophets, and the prophets do not leave any inheritance in the form of (monetary wealth), but they do leave knowledge as their legacy. A person who acquires knowledge, acquires his full share (of this legacy).” Riyadh-us-Salaheen:1388 Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Verily, if Allah has loved a servant, He calls Gabriel, upon him be peace, and says, “I love so-and-so, therefore love him.” So Gabriel loves him. Then he calls out in heaven, saying, “Allah loves so-and-so, therefore love him.” And the inhabitants of heaven love him. Then acceptance is established for him on earth. And if Allah has disliked a servant, He calls Gabriel and says, “I dislike so-and-so, therefore dislike him.” So Gabriel dislikes him. Then Gabriel calls out to the inhabitants of heaven, “Allah dislikes so-and-so, therefore dislike him.” So they dislike him, and abhorrence is established for him on earth. [Sahih Muslim, Book 32, Number 6373] The Prophet (may peace and blessings be upon him) said: “The most perfect believer in faith is the one whose character is finest and who is kindest to his wife.” [Ahmad (5/282) Tirmidhee and Ibn Majah from Thawbaan, Saheeh ul-Jaami 5355] Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The basis of reasoning, after faith in Allah, is loving kindness toward the people.” At-Tabarani, Al-Mu’jam Al-Awsat, Number 6067 Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Verily, Allah will say on the Day of Resurrection: Where are those who love each other for the sake of My glory? Today, I will shelter them in My shade; a Day when there is no shade but Mine.” [Sahih Muslim, Book 32, Number 6225] 6 Likes |

Lukay99 All the quranic verse you provide are conditional love, Allah only love the believers, the quran commandment of love is straight forward to only the believers, what you are doing now is , trying to bring contradiction in the quran,I provide a verse in the op which say Allah only love the believers and you are trying to bring another verse that say Allah love the believers and unbelievers, is this not contradiction ? Although you failed to provide the verse that talk about unconditional love for ALL. But an attempt mean contradiction. Check this out: Matthew 5:38-48 38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’[h] 39 But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. 40 And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. 41 If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. 42 Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you. 43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor[i] and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47 And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect. Now read verse 47 again, verse 47 talk about conditional love and it went on to say , EVEN THE SINNER can love those who love them. Is it not what Allah commanded the muslims to do ? |

The brother has given you verses When you say God is merciful.When Allah is willing to forgive us every single time we fall short and He says He's closer to us than our jugular vein and we don't need to pray through anyone before connecting to him.
