The Love of God
Dear brothers and sisters ,
like all humans all over the world , we desire Love , it is
what makes us complete . Some are even willing to overlook Truth
in order to attain Love .
In Islam , you don't have to make any sacrifices , you can
have both Truth and Love in God together .
First we must know what True Love is . True Love is a two way
street . This means we take Love as well as we give Love .
For example , Loving Jesus:
Muslims love Jesus more than Christians according to the
Meaning of True Love . This is because if you Love someone , you
would care for them .
There is some doubt within the Gospel as to whether or not
Jesus died on the cross , with some evidence from scholars that
perhaps Jesus did not die .
This should make the Christians happy that Jesus was Saved
instead of insisting he was put through a horrifying long
painful death .
The Christians don't have Love with God , but rather Greed
towards God . If the Christians had True Love with God , than
they would be Happy to learn Jesus was not killed but rather it
appeared as if he was killed , similar to Jesus appearing to be
a unknown gardener to Mary in the Cave {John 20:15}
Instead , the Christians ventilate that Jesus suffered and
bled and was filled with pain and anguish .
Is it Love to insist this happened to someone you love even
though some evidence suggests it may not have happened ? Of
course not , this is the farthest thing from Love .
If someone you Love was kidnapped , and there was some
evidence that the one you love is safe , would you insist they
are not safe ?
To Love is to Share , another way Muslims Love Jesus more
than the Christians is that we do not pass our sins to Jesus ,
we take responsibility for our own sins . We believe Jesus was
sent by God to assist Israel return to the Straight path , Jesus
never claimed he was sent to ((consume everyone's sins)), but
instead
to preach (which he did for over 30 years before returning to
God) the good news of Peace .
If you Love your neighbor , would you take your garbage and
put it at your neighbors door ? Absolutely not , you would take
responsibility for your own garbage .
Christians in the scope of the big picture , are uncaring of
Jesus , a bully to Jesus .
This is not to suggest that our Creator, the Father of us all
, is un-giving , for the fact is , that God does give Love .
The Webster Dictionary meaning of the word "Love" is:
"passionate, warm attachment, affectionate"
The Holy Qur'an lists these attributes describing God , along
with much more , for example , in the Holy Qur'an , our Creator
is addressed as:
"Compassionate , Merciful , the Helper , the Nourisher , the
Generous , the Guide , the Loving (al-Wadud in Arabic often
translated into English as "the Kind One"), the Raiser of the
Dead , the Patient"
Thus showing how the God of Islam which is the same God of
Abraham , Moses and Jesus , is in fact a God of Love .
Besides God being Defined as Love in the Holy Qur'an , we
also see quotes of how God Gives us Love in the Qur'an:
"... God loves the doers of justice." {Holy Qur'an 60:8}
"... God loves those who are fair (and just). " {Holy Qur'an 49.009}
" On those who believe and work deeds of righteousness, will
(Allah) Most Gracious bestow love. " {Holy Qur'an 19:96}
"...God loveth those who make themselves pure. " {Holy Qur'an 9:108}
"... For God loves those who put their trust (in Him). "
{Holy Qur'an 3:159}
God in the Qur'an also gives Love unconditionally:
"It may be that God will ordain love between you and those of
them with whom ye are at enmity. Allah is Mighty, and Allah is
Forgiving, Merciful. " {Holy Qur'an 60:7}
" And among His Signs is this, that He created for you mates
from among yourselves, that ye may dwell in tranquillity with
them, and He has put love and mercy between your (hearts):
verily in that are Signs for those who reflect. "
{Holy Qur'an 30:21}
"...for ye were enemies and He joined your hearts in love, so
that by His Grace, ye became brethren; and ye were on the brink
of the pit of Fire, and He saved you from it. Thus doth Allah
make His Signs clear to you: That ye may be guided. " {Holy Qur'an 3:103}
" And He is the Forgiving, the Loving, " {Holy Qur'an 85:14}
The Qur'an reveals this false assertion that God only loves
the Jews or the Christians:
"And the Jews and the Christians say: We are the sons of God
and His beloved ones. Say: Why does He then chastise you for
your faults? Nay, you are mortals from among those whom He has
created, He forgives whom He pleases and chastises whom He
pleases; and God's is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, and to Him is the
eventual coming." {Holy Qur'an 5:18}
This is not a attack on either Faith , it only rebukes the
claims by Jews who say 'only the children of Israel are the
chosen people' or the Christians who say 'all non-Christians are
demons'
This verse is only explaining that we are all from God and
God loves us all .
"Those who believe (in the Qur'an), those who follow the
Jewish (scriptures), and the Sabians and the Christians,- any
who believe in God and the Last Day, and work righteousness,- on
them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve. " {Holy Qur'an 5:69}
In conclusion, there are many more examples but this is to
demonstrate that True Love is both equally given as well as
taken . Let us love each other , stand together as partners ,
praying to God and enjoying the Love and guidance manifested in
the Holy Qur'an.
