To "Richard the Lion heart". Searching for LOVE in Islam

Submitted by Omar (United States), Jan 21, 2006 at 13:19

Dear Richard the Lion heart,

You once said that "In the Koran the word love is not mention once". I made a post and gave you a link to search for "Love" in the Quran and Sunnah. Guess what. I found a page about how Love was mentioned both in the "Quran", totally disproving your claims about the Quran. Please do more research about Islam before making false claims.

Love in the Quran:

He has said:
"And do good; Indeed, Allah loves those who do good." (al-Baqarah 2/195)

And He has said:

"Act equitably; Indeed, Allah loves the equitable." (al-Hujurat 49/9)

And He has said:

"So long as they are true to you, be true to them; Indeed, Allah loves those who keep their duty." (at-Tawbah 9/7)

And He has said:

"Truly, Allah loves those who repent, and loves those who care for cleanliness." (al-Baqarah 2/222)

And He has said:

"Say, [O Muhammad, to mankind]: If you love Allah, follow me; Allah will love you." (Al'Imran 3/31)

And He has said:

"Allah will redeem a people whom He loves, and who love Him." (al-Ma'idah 5/54)

And He has said:

"Indeed, Allah loves those who fight in ranks for His cause, as if they were a solid structure." (as-Saff 61/4)

And He has said:

"He is The Forgiving, The Loving." (al-Buruj 85/14)
