I will be happy to clarify any doubts from my Christian friends in particular and all others in general. Fareed Siddique

I have been asked several times by Pauline chatters, regarding the Love of God for his

creation, one of them was of a strange opinion: Allah of Quran does not seems to love thesinners, whereas in the Bible God [Jesus] loves the sinners too, Allah of Quran seems topunish and hate sinners, when we know God is Love, how can Muslims believe that Allah isGod? This point of Love of God or for God and love of God for human beings was not ascope of the Paltalk chat room discussion. I sent him an email later:

I usually reiterate that God in English language translates to Allah in Arabic language, but thePauline parrots do not seems to understand that simple logic. I answered her in many differentways, and then I quoted Allh is the standard Arabic word for "God" and is used by ArabChristians as well as by Muslims (Britannica, 1990 Edition, vol.1, p.276).

Love is a word, so securely different from good sense of reason for most Pauline flocks. Canlove of God Almighty Allah [] be justice to one and injustice to others? We all knowthat love is not injustice and we also know that God is not unjust to the least. Implying GodAlmighty Allah [] is full of justice. Love, when blinded, becomes injustice; like justicewhen delayed is called injustice. Human beings have the tendency to get blinded in love, notGod Almighty Allah [].

The Pauline and western application of the word LOVE varies from carnal desires to humanaffections to affinity towards material things Etc,. Loversin Pauline and western generalterminology means sex-partners. When you say I love my father implies your affection

towards your father. I love Chocolate will mean your material affinity towards the Chocolate.

What does it mean when you say, God loves you? Does that mean? Can Gods love beblinded unjust love? And that God loves you for your evils? Does that mean God loves youand your evil at the same time? Nope! No nonsense please!

On the other hand, God Almighty Allah [] did not create us to hate us No not tothe least. It never means that God is a tyrant God that wanted to extract some kind of penaltyfrom us for creating us, no not to the least; what is love then? Verily, the God-protected-word-of-God, Noble Quran comes to our rescue in every walk of our lives.

Understanding the Love of God for us is one truth in Islam, God Almighty Allah []never hates anyone, because He in not a hater, Alhamdulillah. For instance, when your childcommits a mistake you do not hate him, you try to amend him, help him out, but you do nothate him for his bad deeds.

Another instance, say you have two kids, one is very obedient and the other is mostdisobedient, your tendency as a good parent would be, that all your stress would be towardsthe spoilt brat to set him right, at the same time you will not neglect the good child, you willappreciate the good deeds of the good child, that would be justice to the good one and alesson for the bad one, at the most you will not like the disobedient child but you will not

hate him! No, not if you are a good parent.

Nowhere in the Quran will you find, God Almighty Allah [], as a hater. Also at the

same time you will find Quran full of justice, God Almighty Allah [] always will lovethe good guys and Not Like the bad ones, that does not means God Almighty Allah [ .] hates the bad guys No not to the least

Quran 19: 96. Verily, those who believe [in the Oneness of Allh and in His Messenger(Muhammad SAW)] and work deeds of righteousness, the Most Beneficent (Allh) willbestowlovefor them (in the hearts of the believers).

Quran 19 : 76. And Allh increases in guidance those who walk aright [true believers in theOneness of Allh who fear Allh much (abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds whichHe has forbidden), andloveAllh much (perform all kinds of good deeds which He has

ordained)]. And the righteous good deeds that last, are better with your Lord, for reward andbetter for resort.

Quran 11: 90. "And ask forgiveness of your Lord and turn unto Him in repentance. Verily, myLord isMost Merciful, Most Loving."

Quran 11: 115. And be patient; verily, Allh loses not the reward of the good-doers.

Now it is amply clear, God Almighty Allah [] will forgive even the bad guys if theyrepent and he will be loved most. Same as when you bad kids repent, you would love him. IfGod Almighty Allah [] starts to love the good guys and the bad guys at the same

time, then that would not be justice to the good ones, and that will be an act of injustice. Forwe know God Almighty Allah [] is not unjust.

Once the bad guys repent, we know God Almighty will love them, Alhamdulillah. Apart fromnumerous ways God Almighty Allah [] loves you, below are only a few of the listing,for a start, to show you how Gods love for you is different from the love of you fellow humanbeings around. The Love of God for his creation is full of justice apart from being MostMerciful, Most Loving.

Quran 85:14. And He is Oft-Forgiving, full of love(towards the pious who are real truebelievers of Islmic Monotheism)

Quran 3:134. Those who spend [in Allh's Cause - deeds of charity, alms, etc.] in prosperityand in adversity, who repress anger, and who pardon men; verily, Allh lovesAl-Muhsinn(the good-doers).

Quran 3:148. So Allh gave them the reward of this world, and the excellent reward of theHereafter. And Allh loves Al-Muhsinn(the good-doers).

Quran 2: 222. Truly, Allh loves those who turn unto Him in repentance andlovesthosewho purify themselves (by taking a bath and cleaning and washing thoroughly their privateparts, bodies, for their prayers, etc.).

Quran 9: 108. Never stand you therein. Verily, the mosque whose foundation was laid fromthe first day on piety is more worthy that you stand therein (to pray). In it are men wholove

[ God]Love and ________________________________________________________________________


to clean and to purify themselves. And Allh loves those who make themselves clean

and pure(i.e. who clean their private parts with soap Etc,.) and water from urine and stools,after answering the call of nature].

Quran 9: 4. Except those of the Mushrikn with whom you have a treaty, and who have notsubsequently failed you in aught, nor have supported anyone against you. So fulfill theirtreaty to them to the end of their term. Surely Allh loves Al- Mattaqn(the pious).

Quran 9: 7. How can there be a covenant with Allh and with His Messenger for theMushrikn (polytheists, idolaters, pagans, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allh) except thosewith whom you made a covenant near Al-Masjid-al-Harm (at Makkah)? So long, as they aretrue to you, stand you true to them. Verily, Allh loves Al-Muttaqn(the pious).

Quran 3: 76. Yes, whoever fulfils his pledge and fears Allh much; verily, then Allh lovesthose who are Al-Muttaqn(the pious).

Quran 3: 159. And by the Mercy of Allh, you dealt with them gently. And had you beensevere and harsh-hearted, they would have broken away from about you; so pass over (theirfaults), and ask (Allh's) Forgiveness for them; and consult them in the affairs. Then whenyou have taken a decision, put your trust in Allh, certainly, Allh loves those who put theirtrust(in Him).

Quran 3: 146. And many a Prophet (i.e. many from amongst the Prophets) fought (in Allh'sCause) and along with him (fought) large bands of religious learned men. But they never lostheart for that which did befall them in Allh's Way, nor did they weaken nor degradethemselves. And Allh loves As-Sbirin(the patient ones, etc.).

Quran 5: 42. (They like to) listen to falsehood, to devour anything forbidden. So if they cometo you (O Muhammad SAW), either judge between them, or turn away from them. If you turnaway from them, they cannot hurt you in the least. And if you judge, judge with justicebetween them. Verily, Allh loves those who act justly.

5: 54. O you who believe! Whoever from among you turns back from his religion (Islm),Allh will bring a people whomHe will love and they will love Him; humble towards thebelievers, stern towards the disbelievers, fighting in the Way of Allh, and never afraid of theblame of the blamers. That is the Grace of Allh which He bestows on whom He wills. AndAllh is All-Sufficient for His creatures' needs, All-Knower.

Quran 5: 93. Those who believe and do righteous good deeds, there is no sin on them forwhat they ate (in the past), if they fear Allh (by keeping away from His forbidden things),and believe and do righteous good deeds, and again fear Allh and believe, and once againfear Allh and do good deeds with Ihsn (perfection). And Allh loves the good-doers.

Quran 5: 13. So because of their breach of their covenant, We cursed them, and made theirhearts grow hard. They change the words from their (right) places and have abandoned agood part of the Message that was sent to them. And you will not cease to discover deceit inthem, except a few of them. But forgive them, and overlook (their misdeeds). Verily, Allhloves Al-Muhsinn(good-doers - see V.2:112).

Quran 49: 9. And if two parties or groups among the believers fall to fighting, then make

peace between them both, but if one of them rebels against the other, then fight you (all)against the one that which rebels till it complies with the Command of Allh; then if itcomplies, then make reconciliation between them justly, and be equitable. Verily! Allhloves those who are equitable.

Quran 60: 8. Allh does not forbid you to deal justly and kindly with those who fought notagainst you on account of religion and did not drive you out of your homes. Verily, Allhloves those who deal with equity.

So now we understand how simple it is to attain the love of God Almighty Allah [].Simple normal human beings with normal human instincts and normal sense of reason can

attain the love of God Almighty. Else, they are losers, let us read what Quran says aboutthose who are the losers?

Quran 2:27. Those who break Allh's Covenant after ratifying it, and sever what Allh hasordered to be joined (as regards Allh's Religion of Islmic Monotheism, and to practise itslegal laws on the earth and also as regards keeping good relations with kith and kin]), and domischief on earth, it is they who are thelosers.

Let us now see how things go wrong with the losers:

Quran 031:21. And when it is said to them: "Follow that which Allh has sent down", theysay: "Nay, we shall follow that which we found our fathers (following)." (Would they do so)even if Shaitn (Satan) invites them to the torment of the Fire.

It is now abundantly clear to us how the losers act and what they gain thereby. Speaking ofany possible hatred, as our Pauline parrot thinks about Quran, the Quran never proposesthat you hate others; instead it even rejects those of others hatred to us shall not get us outof the true path of Justice.

Quran 05:08. O you who believe! Stand out firmly for Allh and be just witnesses and letnotthe enmity andhatredof others make you avoid justice. Be just: that is nearer to piety, andfear Allh. Verily, Allh is Well-Acquainted with what you do.

The biggest question is how do we attain the love of our God Almighty?

Quran 03:031. Say (O Muhammad SAW to mankind): "If you (really) love Allhthen followme (i.e. accept Islmic Monotheism, follow the Qur'n and the Sunnah), Allh will love youand forgive you of your sins. And Allh is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."

That was aptly clear, that we must follow the best example of God that is in the Noble ProphetMohammed () by loving him. Everyone can be loved by God, provided they do notlove the Satan as their saviour and do not follow the Satan; but Love the Noble ProphetMohammed () So God will love you for certainty and eternity Period.

Coming to the Bible what is Love and hate, how and when does God loves you? Let usexplore the Bible, new and old alike. Jesus () is said to have said: (Luke 14:26) "Ifany man come to me andhate not his father, his mother, and wife, and children, and

[ God]Love and ________________________________________________________________________


brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple." If such are

the priests, God bless the Congregation... Ahmed Deedath.How can we ever find love with such biblical laws like that running around in people's minds?Jesus () is said to have said: (Matthew 19:29 and Mark 10:29) "And every one thathathforsakenhouses, or brethren, or sisters; or father, or mother, or wife, or children, orlands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life."

Islam does not preach hate for your folks to get love from God, God loves you, because Godcreated you not to hate you. God is not a hater O Paulines! All you have to do is be a goodperson, submit to God like Jesus () submitted to his God (Heb 5:7), and finally obeythe Noble Prophet of God, Mohammed ().

Now read the Noble verse again, the God-protected-word-of-God, Quran 03:031. Say (OMuhammad SAW to mankind): "If you (really) love Allhthen follow me (i.e. accept IslmicMonotheism, follow the Qur'n and the Sunnah), Allh will love you and forgive you ofyour sins. And Allh is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."

O my Learned Christian readers, do you really want to accept the hatred of St. Paul?Would you take man-made lies instead of truth in your lives? do you have any sense ofreason? Do they have any thinking-heads? Does God stop you from thinking reasonably? Orwould you like to regret in the hereafter.

They will say, "If only we had really listened and used our intellect, we would not have beenCompanions of the Blaze." (Noble Quran, Surat al-Mulk: 10) or would the followers of St.Paul like to regret!

O my Christian readers!Respond to your Lord before a Day comes from Allah [], which cannot be turned back. On that Day you will have no hiding-place and no meansof denial. (Noble Quran, Surat ash-Shura: 47)

I invite you, O my Christian readers, to use your intellect and be a true believer, a truthfulsubmitter to your God Allah ]. May Allah] [] bestow upon you his mercyand help you understand the fallacies of the Christian Pauline religion of Saul ofTarus...Ameen, ya Rabbiziljalaal.

Allah [] makes it very evident for you "W e shall show them Our signs on thehorizons and within themselves until it will become clear to them that it is the Truth. Does itnot suffice that your Lord is Witness over all things?" The noble Qur'an, Fussilat (41):53.
