Allah Loves

August 27, 2009 Alif-Lam-Mim Allah loves:

1. Al-Muhsinun (the good-doers):

“And spend in the Cause of Allah (i.e. Jihad of all kinds) and do not throw yourselves into
destruction (by not spending your wealth in the Cause of Allah), and do good. Truly, Allah
loves Al-Muhsinun (the good-doers).” [2:195]

“Those who spend (in Allah’s Cause) in prosperity and in adversity, who repress anger , and
who pardon men; verily, Allah loves Al-Muhsinun (the good-doers).” [3:134]

“So, because of their breach of their covenant, We cursed them and made their hearts grow
hard. They change the words from their (right) places and have abandoned a good part of the
Message that was sent to them. And you will not cease to discover deceit in them, except a
few of them. But forgive them and overlook (their misdeeds). Verily, Allah loves Al-Muhsinun
(good-doers).” [5:13]

“Those who believe and do righteous good deeds, there is no sin on them for what they ate
(in the past), if they fear Allah (by keeping away from His forbidden things), and believe and
do righteous good deeds, and again fear Allah and believe, and once again fear Allah and do
good deeds with Ihsan (perfection). And Allah loves the good-doers.” [5:93]

2. Al-Muttaqun (the pious):

“Yes, whoever fulfils his pledge and fears Allah much; verily, then Allah loves those who are
Al-Muttaqun (the pious).” [3:76]

“Except those of the Mushrikun (see V.2:105) with whom you have a treaty, and who have
not subsequently failed you in aught, nor have supported anyone against you. So fulfil their
treaty to them for the end of their term. Surely Allah loves Al-Mattaqun (the pious).” [9:4]

“How can there be a covenant with Allah and with His Messenger for the Mushrikun
(polytheists, idolaters, pagans, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah) except those with whom
you made a covenant near Al-Masjid-al-Haram (at Makkah)? So long as they are true to you,
stand you true to them. Verily, Allah loves Al-Muttaqun (the pious).” [9:7]

3. As-Sabirun (the patient):

“And many a Prophet (i.e. many from amongst the Prophets) fought (in Allah’s Cause) and
along with him (fought) large bands of religious learned men. But they never lost heart for
that which did befall them in Allah’s Way, nor did they weaken nor degrade themselves. And
Allah loves As-Sabirun (the patient).” [3:146]

4. At-Tawabin (those who repent):

“They ask you concerning menstruation. Say: that is an Adha (a harmful thing for a husband
to have a sexual intercourse with his wife while she is having her menses), therefore keep
away from women during menses and go not unto them till they are purified (from menses
and have taken a bath). And when they have purified themselves, then go in unto them
as Allah has ordained for you (go in unto them in any manner as long as it is in their
vagina). Truly, Allah loves those who turn unto Him in repentance and loves those who
purify themselves (by taking a bath and cleaning and washing thoroughly their private parts,
bodies, for their prayers).” [2:222]
5. Al-Mutatahirin (those who purify themselves):
“They ask you concerning menstruation. Say: that is an Adha (a harmful thing for a husband
to have a sexual intercourse with his wife while she is having her menses), therefore keep
away from women during menses and go not unto them till they are purified (from menses
and have taken a bath). And when they have purified themselves, then go in unto them
as Allah has ordained for you (go in unto them in any manner as long as it is in their
vagina). Truly, Allah loves those who turn unto Him in repentance and loves those who
purify themselves (by taking a bath and cleaning and washing thoroughly their private parts,
bodies, for their prayers).” [2:222]

“Never stand you therein. Verily, the mosque whose foundation was laid from the first day
on piety is more worthy that you stand therein (to pray). In it are men who love to clean and
to purify themselves. And Allah loves those who make themselves clean and pure [i.e. who
clean their private parts with dust (which has the properties of soap) and water from urine
and stools, after answering the call of nature].” [9:108]

6. Al-Mutawakilin (those who put their trust in Him):

“And by the Mercy of Allah, you dealt with them gently. And had you been severe and harsh-
hearted, they would have broken away from about you; so pass over (their faults), and ask
(Allah’s) Forgiveness for them; and consult them in the affairs. Then when you have taken
a decision, put your trust in Allah, certainly, Allah loves those who put their trust (in Him).”
[3:159]

7. Al-Muqsitin (those who act justly):

“(They like to) listen to falsehood, to devour anything forbidden. So if they come to you (O
Muhammad ‫)صلى هللا عليه وسلم‬, either judge between them, or turn away from them. If you
turn away from them, they cannot hurt you in the least. And if you judge, judge with justice
between them. Verily, Allah loves those who act justly.” [5:42]

“And if two parties or groups among the believers fall to fighting, then make peace between
them both. But if one of them outrages against the other, then fight you (all) against the
one that which outrages till it complies with the Command of Allah. Then if it complies, then
make reconciliation between them justly, and be equitable. Verily! Allah loves those who are
the equitable.” [49:9]
