The word love, hubb in its various grammatical forms, is used 69 times in the Qur'an. In the Quran where the word love is employed, one observes that the use of the word carries a negative meaning, as in, dont love this world but love the after life.

here is a verse you might like D.

5:85 Strongest among men in enmity to the Believers wilt thou find the Jews and Pagans; and nearest among them in love [mawadda] to the Believers wilt thou find those who say, "We are Christians": Because amongst these are men devoted to learning and men who have renounced the world, and they are not arrogant.

and Allah knows best
