Love
is one of the greatest blessings that Allah gives to people. Throughout their
life, everyone wants to be with those who they love, rely on, and are close to.
Many of Allah's blessings and their true meanings can only be found in an
environment where true love and friendship exist. For example, a person who is
enjoying a magnificent view naturally wants to share his feelings of awe and
happiness with someone whom he loves.
The
most beautifully furnished house may not seem very attractive if you are alone.
Allah has created people in such a way that they enjoy being loved and loving
others, and are pleased with friendships and closeness.
To
be fulfilling friendships and love with them is, for each believer, more
enjoyable than many other blessings.
This
is why Paradise, which Allah promises to those faithful servants whom He loves
and with whom He is pleased, is an extraordinarily beautiful place where true
love, friendship, and closeness are lived with great exuberance.
In the Qur'an, Allah informs us of how
believers will live in Paradise: It will be a
life of constant joy, friendship, love, peaceful discussions, kind words, and
overall peace. Its inhabitants will encounter none of the obstacles to love and
friendship that they knew on Earth.
One
of the most important characteristics of the Muslims living in Paradise will be their ability to love, just as they did
on Earth, all of the prophets, those pious believers who strove in the path of
Allah, and all of the Muslims who lived in the past. All believers feel very
close to other pious believers who strive to please only Allah, and so choose
them to be their close friends and guardians.
The
great love emanates from their fear and awe of Allah, and, as a reward for
their internal closeness to our Lord, they will be rewarded with Paradise, the most beautiful abode of love and
truthfulness.
The
true source of love in the believers' hearts is their profound love of Allah.
Believers love Allah greatly and, at every moment, strive to gain His love and
good pleasure.
Allah
has created everything from nothing. While a person was still in a state of
"nothingness," Allah granted him or her life as a blessing. Our Lord,
the Most Merciful, the Most Gracious, and the possessor of infinite mercy, has
provided everything for His servants: a vast variety of foods, fruits, and
flowers; lovely creatures and landscapes in which we take pleasure; and all
other things, from the Sun to water, from the air we breathe to the vitamins we
need. He created all of this perfectly on our world.
Believers
who think about the blessings bestowed upon them, who are aware that He can do
all things and is the sole sovereign of the universe, the Creator of everything
in the best possible form, will feel their love for Allah strengthen. Those who
love and fear Allah, and hold Him in awe, will faithfully observe the
boundaries that He has established for humanity, show great sensitivity when
implementing His rules, and do their best to win His good pleasure, love,
mercy, and Paradise.
Every
believer who loves and respects Allah and who strives to please Him enriches
the world with goodness. Whoever loves Allah also loves His creations, feels
compassion and mercy for them, and wants to protect them by bringing more
goodness and beauty into the world. Allah's messengers, the most excellent and
moral people in the world, always invited their people toward love and
closeness to each other and to Allah.
