LOVE?

2. The Qur'anic Understanding Of Love
• Allah is the real source and owner of love.
• A person should seek to be worthy of this
blessing by adhering to the Qur'an's morals,
and should pray that Allah bestows true love.
• People who do not adhere to the Qur'an's
morals live a life bereft of true knowledge,
hope, and true friends in both worlds.

3. Love is a blessing that Allah bestows
upon us:
• And affection and purity from Us—he had fear
[and respect]. (Surah Maryam, 13)
• As for those who believe and do right actions, the
All-Merciful will bestow His love upon them.
(Surah Maryam, 96)
• Among His signs is that He created spouses for
you of your own kind so that you might find
tranquility in them. And He has placed affection
and compassion between you. There are certainly
signs in that for people who reflect.
(Surah-Rum, 21)

Allah is severe in punishment! Baqarah 2:165
