ISLAMIC ARTICLE :- ~ Love Is an Important Sign of a Believer

Almost everyone will come across loveless and ruthless people in their
lives. These people are unaffected by almost everything that goes on
or is said around them and use a harsh form of language. There is no
doubt that it is none other than satan who leads these people to
lovelessness and ruthlessness. Satan does not want people to have good
conscience or to be rational, submissive, grateful, tolerant, pleased
with Allah's creation, full of love and showing moral virtue to those
around them. Yet Almighty Allah has created human nature to make
things easy and put others at their ease,so people will sacrifice
themselves if necessary, do this without letting the other party know,
to adapt to all legitimate things and to be full of love. Believers,
who use this attribute created by Allah very well, calm down the
environment they findthemselves in and always have apositive impact.
This harmonious, calming, positive, warm and relaxing character that
believers exhibit to those around them out of their love of Allah is
an excellent sign of a believer. Allah reveals in the Qur'an how He
has created the blessing of love for believers:
" As for those who believe and do right actions, the All-Mercifulwill
bestow His love on them." (Surah Maryam, 96)
The true source of the love for other people that believers feel in
their hearts is their love of Allah. Knowing that Allah created the
joy they feel in their hearts and that Allah is manifested in all
things is the true source of profound human love.
In true love, one can always express these emotions to the people one
loves with breathtaking and effective words one has never used before.
Each one is different to all those that have gone before because one
experiences that joy in the most vibrant form andat every moment in
one's heart.
Allah has created human beings with "souls," in contrast to all other
living things. Therefore, and again in contrast to all other living
things, the effect that the riches in one's soul will have on another
person will also be different. The love that everyoneexperiences is
directly proportional to the beauty in one's soul. The more traits
deserving of love and respect one has, the more people will love and
respect them. In the same way, the more sensitive one is to the traits
deserving of love and respect in other people, the more one will see
such beauties in others and love and respect them in proportion.
Mr. Adnan Oktar Speaks of the Love Described in the Qur'an:
The Qur'an describes the foundation of love. It does not tell us
simply to love. Love requires patience, for instance, loyalty,
generosity, care, protectiveness and consideration, doesn't it? An
egotistical, selfish person cannot know love. An egotistical, selfish
person inevitably loses love. People who are not forgiving lose love.
In other words, love does not form spontaneously. It calls for work
and care. You haveto protect love in the same way you tend a flower.
Love does notjust appear spontaneously. One does not love a person's
eyes and eyebrows; they can grow old or become diseased. Wealth can
also disappear, but faith and virtue, the moral values stemming from
faith, are permanent and have a profoundeffect on the soul. That is
why we love other people. One cannot just love a person made of flesh
and bone because lift the skin up by just a millimeter and flesh is
bright red, and all you have is blood and fat and nothing else. So
there is nothing left to love about a person.
