According to Islam, one (1) reason for loving God, as said before lies
in the fact that God is the most precious, absolute perfection and
eternal beauty, that a man can ever conceive and therefore, man out of
his nature that aspires to values, beauty and perfection loves God.
The second (2) reason forloving God, men by nature love whoever does
good to them, and they appreciate such favour and benevolence, as Imam
Ali (as), said:"Generosity and magnanimity enslave men."
Now, as God is the sourceof all being, of all generosity and
benevolence, man, by virtue of his nature, lovesGod. Prophet
Muhammad(saw), said: "Love Allah (SWT) because He has done good to you
and Hehas bestowed favours upon you."
A believer who has started his spiritual journey towards God
firstcomes to recognize God'sblessings upon him in providing him with
lots of supports and helps that enabled him to act. Having continued
his journey and been equipped with a mystical view of the world, he
willrealize that every good thing, indeed, comes from God himself. We
read in the Noble Qur'an:"Whatever benefit comesto you (O man!), it is
fromGod, and whatever misfortune befalls you, it is from yourself"
(Surah An-Nisa, 4:79)
Aside from the fact that one who loves God is loved by Him (5:54), a
real love for God promptsone to perform the best of deeds. Reason and
nature dictate that if someone really loves God, he would act in a
manner that is pleasing to God. In this regard, theNoble Qur'an says:
Say: "If you love Allah, then follow me, and Allahwill love you and
forgive you your sins," and Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. (Surah
Al-E-Imran, 3:31)
This ayah indicates the interrelation between love, as an inner state,
and emulating Prophet Muhammad (saw), which is an outward action.
Moreover, it implies that no one may neglect his religious obligations
under the pretext of love for God. Love for Prophet Muhammad (saw)

Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-
