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 the sinners, whereas in the Bible God [Jesus] loves the sinners too, Allah of Quran seems to punish and hate sinners, when we know God is Love, how can Muslims believe that Allah is God? This point of Love of God or for God and love of God for human beings was not a scope 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 the Pauline parrots do not seems to understand that simple logic. I answered her in many different ways, and then I quoted Allh is the standard Arabic word for "God" and is used by Arab Christians 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. Can love of God Almighty Allah [ ] be justice to one and injustice to others? We all know that love is not injustice and we also know that God is not unjust to the least. Implying God Almighty Allah [ ] is full of justice. Love, when blinded, becomes injustice; like justice when delayed is called injustice. Human beings have the tendency to get blinded in love, not God Almighty Allah [.] The Pauline and western application of the word LOVE varies from carnal desires to human affections to affinity towards material things Etc,. Lovers in Pauline and western general terminology 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 be blinded unjust love? And that God loves you for your evils? Does that mean God loves you and 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 to the least. It never means that God is a tyrant God that wanted to extract some kind of penalty from us for creating us, no not to the least; what is love then? Verily, the God-protectedword-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 child commits a mistake you do not hate him, you try to amend him, help him out, but you do not hate him for his bad deeds. Another instance, say you have two kids, one is very obedient and the other is most disobedient, your tendency as a good parent would be, that all your stress would be towards the spoilt brat to set him right, at the same time you will not neglect the good child, you will appreciate the good deeds of the good child, that would be justice to the good one and a lesson 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 love the 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) will bestow love for them (in the hearts of the believers). Quran 19 : 76. And Allh increases in guidance those who walk aright [true believers in the Oneness of Allh who fear Allh much (abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds which He has forbidden), and love Allh 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 and better for resort. Quran 11: 90. "And ask forgiveness of your Lord and turn unto Him in repentance. Verily, my Lord is Most 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 they repent and he will be loved most. Same as when you bad kids repent, you would love him. If God 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. For we know God Almighty Allah [ ] is not unjust. Once the bad guys repent, we know God Almighty will love them, Alhamdulillah. Apart from numerous 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 human beings around. The Love of God for his creation is full of justice apart from being Most Merciful, Most Loving. Quran 85:14. And He is Oft-Forgiving, full of love (towards the pious who are real true believers of Islmic Monotheism) Quran 3:134. Those who spend [in Allh's Cause - deeds of charity, alms, etc.] in prosperity and in adversity, who repress anger, and who pardon men; verily, Allh loves Al-Muhsinn (the good-doers). Quran 3:148. So Allh gave them the reward of this world, and the excellent reward of the Hereafter. And Allh loves Al-Muhsinn (the good-doers). Quran 2: 222. Truly, Allh 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, etc.). Quran 9: 108. 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 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 not subsequently failed you in aught, nor have supported anyone against you. So fulfill their treaty 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 the Mushrikn (polytheists, idolaters, pagans, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allh) except those with whom you made a covenant near Al-Masjid-al-Harm (at Makkah)? So long, as they are true 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 loves those who are Al-Muttaqn (the pious). Quran 3: 159. And by the Mercy of Allh, 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 (Allh's) Forgiveness for them; and consult them in the affairs. Then when you have taken a decision, put your trust in Allh, certainly, Allh loves those who put their trust (in Him). Quran 3: 146. And many a Prophet (i.e. many from amongst the Prophets) fought (in Allh'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 Allh's Way, nor did they weaken nor degrade themselves. 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 come to you (O Muhammad SAW), 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, 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 whom He will love and they will love Him; humble towards the believers, stern towards the disbelievers, fighting in the Way of Allh, and never afraid of the blame of the blamers. That is the Grace of Allh which He bestows on whom He wills. And Allh 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 for what 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 again fear 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 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, Allh loves 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 it complies, then make reconciliation between them justly, and be equitable. Verily! Allh loves those who are equitable. Quran 60: 8. Allh does not forbid you to deal justly and kindly with those who fought not against you on account of religion and did not drive you out of your homes. Verily, Allh loves 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 about those who are the losers? Quran 2:27. Those who break Allh's Covenant after ratifying it, and sever what Allh has ordered to be joined (as regards Allh's Religion of Islmic Monotheism, and to practise its legal laws on the earth and also as regards keeping good relations with kith and kin]), and do mischief on earth, it is they who are the losers. 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", they say: "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 of any possible hatred, as our Pauline parrot thinks about Quran, the Quran never proposes that you hate others; instead it even rejects those of others hatred to us shall not get us out of the true path of Justice. Quran 05:08. O you who believe! Stand out firmly for Allh and be just witnesses and let not the enmity and hatred of others make you avoid justice. Be just: that is nearer to piety, and fear 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 Allh then follow me (i.e. accept Islmic Monotheism, follow the Qur'n and the Sunnah), Allh will love you and 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 Prophet Mohammed ( ) by loving him. Everyone can be loved by God, provided they do not love the Satan as their saviour and do not follow the Satan; but Love the Noble Prophet Mohammed ( ) 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 us explore the Bible, new and old alike. Jesus ( ) is said to have said: (Luke 14:26) "If any man come to me and hate not his father, his mother, and wife, and children, 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 that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters; or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, 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 God created you not to hate you. God is not a hater O Paulines! All you have to do is be a good person, submit to God like Jesus ( ) submitted to his God (Heb 5:7), and finally obey the Noble Prophet of God, Mohammed (.) Now read the Noble verse again, the God-protected-word-of-God, Quran 03:031. Say (O Muhammad SAW to mankind): "If you (really) love Allh then follow me (i.e. accept Islmic Monotheism, follow the Qur'n and the Sunnah), Allh will love you and forgive you of your 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 of reason? Do they have any thinking-heads? Does God stop you from thinking reasonably? Or would you like to regret in the hereafter. They will say, "If only we had really listened and used our intellect, we would not have been Companions 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 means of denial. (Noble Quran, Surat ash-Shura: 47) I invite you, O my Christian readers, to use your intellect and be a true believer, a truthful submitter to your God Allah [ .] May Allah [ ] bestow upon you his mercy and help you understand the fallacies of the Christian Pauline religion of Saul of Tarus...Ameen, ya Rabbiziljalaal. Allah [ ] makes it very evident for you "W e shall show them Our signs on the horizons and within themselves until it will become clear to them that it is the Truth. Does it not suffice that your Lord is Witness over all things?" The noble Qur'an, Fussilat (41):53. Color codes in this document: Red italics are the words of the present day bible KJV / RSV.
