- Buddhism is based purely on love.
- Christianity defines God in one word- “God is love”.
- Jews see God as having a loving side above anything else.
- Not sure of other religions.

(also expecting the mixed responses from Muslims, some of whom true Islam’s about us pleasing Allah by obeying His rules and worshipping Him and asking for His mercy, while others saying Islam shows more love than any other religion could imagine)

sure, Islam is a faith of peace and love. those who disbeleive are those who do no longer settle for what Muslims evaluate the finished reality, Islam. you're surely properly about non-muslims being reliable, and for there reliable deeds they'll be rewarded, if a human has executed reliable, that's the favor of God, and therefor has extremely joyful God. As for islam being illiberal, i ought to ought to disgree, because of a few great incidents the position muslims used islam because the excuse for there moves does no longer make islam illiberal or a faith that breeds terrorist. attempt to take a impartial seem on the challenge. there is over one billion muslims global, which like numerous different faith has followers who passionately persist with it. If islam inspired terrorism and hate, why ought to purely a tiny percentage of them honestly educate it. you need to imagine that there must be chaos around the international continuously through the heritage of islam. unlucky activities which incorporates 9/11 ought to have occured alot more beneficial frequenlty, notwithstanding it hasnt, why? becuase those small percentage of people who've different motifs then islam are those who're in charge for this hate. Allah does no longer purely favor to be feared and fought for. you need to agree that as a way to maintain peace, rigidity is major in some circumstances, if it wasnt, then the united international locations does no longer installation squaddies to parts of conflict. I appreciate you for desirous to income more beneficial about Islam, i actually am attempting to income as a lot as i am going to, God prepared your questions will be answered and your expertise of islam will be that of the genuine islam.

I think it is all up to the individual to believe in that a God loves them or not due to the way they are taught by what is confined in their scriptures or duologue interpretations.



Like you said some say yes there is love and the others for some reason are against it just in-case it might reflect in their Jihad intolerance towards others of the same religion.

Love is the defining principle of the Christian concept of God. It is not just one of His "many" attributes. In "Deus Caritas Est," Pope Benedict XVI stated: “'God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him' (1 Jn 4:16). These words from the First Letter of John express with remarkable clarity the heart of the Christian faith: the Christian image of God and the resulting image of mankind and its destiny. In the same verse, Saint John also offers a kind of summary of the Christian life: 'We have come to know and to believe in the love God has for us.'"

Buddhism is excluded because they don't believe in God.

Christians and Jews are cheating because God in the bible and the Torah destroyed many people ! The Christian God also burn people in eternal hell . The three of us have the same God.

Islam surely does equate God with love. I believe it's on of his 99 names: Al-Wadud, the Loving One.

You are wrong. As a Christian, I do not say that God is love, but that love is an aspect of God. He is more than just love. He is Holy holy holy and He is just.
2008-03-19 18:57:23 UTC
In Islam, there are 99 names for Allah



Many of which sound loving to me - "AS-SALAM

(The Source Of Peace)"

Allah love and hate. he love all humans ever who hate them because he is the creator of them. he hate the tyrannical people.

al-wadoud(الودود) means THE MOST FRIENDLY....not THE LOVER

if our want from being musims is to pleased allah ...we want also his love :)

Bismillāhir-Raúmānir-Raúeem = "In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Compassionate".

This what we say and beleive before starting any work.

(REPENTANCE OF THOSE)

Allah accepts the repentance of those who do evil in ignorance and repent soon afterwards; to them will Allah turn in mercy: For Allah is full of knowledge and wisdom.



-Qur'an, An-Nisa, Surah 4:17

(BELIEVERS HAS GOD’S MERCY)

And when those come to you who believe in Our verses, say, "Peace be upon you. Your Lord has decreed upon Himself mercy: that any of you who does wrong out of ignorance and then repents after that and corrects himself - indeed, He is Forgiving and Merciful."

Holy Quran, Al-Anaam 6:54

(IF GOD LACKED PATIENCE AND MERCY)

If God lacked patience and mercy, all of you would long ago have been punished. If God lacked compassion and forgiveness, none of you would have escaped.



-Qur'an, Al-Nour, Surah 24:20-21

(MERCY)

We sent you not but as a mercy for all creatures. (HOLY QURAN,Anbiyaa, 21:107)



"And do good; Indeed, Allah loves those who do good." (al-Baqarah 2/195)



"Truly, Allah loves those who repent, and loves those who care for cleanliness. " (al-Baqarah 2/222)



"He is The Forgiving, The Loving." (al-Buruj 85/14)



"My Mercy has embraced all things." (al-A'raf 7/156)

(WHY DOES MISFORTUNE HAPPEN?)

He is the One that sends down rain (even) after (men) have given up all hope, and scatters His Mercy (far and wide). And He is the Protector, Worthy of all Praise.



And among His Signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the living creatures that He has scattered through them: and He has power to gather them together when He wills.



Whatever misfortune happens to you, is because of the things your hands have wrought, and for many (of them) He grants forgiveness.



-Qur'an, Ash-Shura, Surah 42:28-30

(DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE GREAT HEIGHT?‏)

If you only understood the great height! It consists in purchasing the freedom of a slave. It consists in feeding, during famines, an orphaned relative, or anyone who is starving. It consists in having faith, in encouraging others, and in exercising mercy.



-Qur'an, Al-Balad, Surah 90:12-17

(WORLD’S COMFORT)

And if We(Allah) will, We shall drown them, and there will be no shout (or helper) for them (to hear their cry for help) nor will they be saved. But its mercy from Us, and comfort for a while [we can make it eternal by returning to Allah’s way].

(Holy Quran, yaseen36:43,44)

(HELP HELPLESS PPL & TO FOLLOW PROPHET)

Establish worship, give in charity, and obey the messenger that you may find mercy.



-Qur'an, Al-Nour, Surah 24:56

Towards which religion COMMON SENSE leads us?



COMMON SENSE # 1: Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said like other true prophets of Allah Abraham, Moses & Jesus (pbut) etc to believe in only ONE true God & not in IDOLS or in many gODS.



COMMON SENSE # 2: Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said believe in Jesus (pbuh) and his revealed book (original one which is lost) and Mosses (pbuh) and his revealed book (original one which is lost) and all revealed books and prophets otherwise u can not be a Muslim. If he is not the true prophet (MAAZ ALLAH) then why he said that believe in them otherwise u will be sent to HELL. Read “EMAN-E-MUFASSIL“ & ” EMAN-E-MUJAMEL “ 2 testify.



COMMON SENSE # 3: Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) never said that he is (MAAZ ALLAH)” God “but strictly said that there is only one ALLAH (God) and no one is like him. If he is not the true prophet (MAAZ ALLAH) then why he said that? He called himself as ALLAH’s last prophet & not bragged about himself (MAAZ ALLAH) as God, as so many fake ppl did in history. Allah (S.W.T.) meaning: (the Exalted, Most Glorious) tells mankind that Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h.) is no more than a Messenger (Quran: 3/144)



COMMON SENSE # 4: Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said like other true prophets before him like Abraham, Moses & Jesus (pbut) about the JUDGEMENT DAY.



COMMON SENSE #5: If u see Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) in pictures made by Non-Muslims, he has same kind of beard like Muhammad (pbuh) had & Muslims have, And also Mother Marry dress in pictures made by Non-Muslims is exactly 100% same as ISLAM says.



COMMON SENSE # 6:Non-Muslims say that Muhammad (peace be upon him) plagiarize the Holy Quran from the Holy Bible or from any other book but this is NOT possible because Muhammad (pbuh) was not educated, then how he could do such a thing?



COMMON SENSE # 7: Another reason that Muhammad (peace be upon him) can’t plagiarize the Holy Quran from the Holy Bible is that “The Holy Bible at the time of Muhammad (pbuh) was not translated in ARABIC language then how he could plagiarize from it”?



COMMON SENSE # 8:Non-Muslims claim that Muhammad (peace be upon him) himself wrote the Holy Quran, if so then why his name comes in the Holy Quran only 5 times & Prophet Adam (pbuh) name 25 times , Prophet Abraham (Pbuh) name 63 times, Prophet Jesus (pbuh) name 25 times, Prophet Moses (pbuh) name comes 136 times, , Prophet Noah (pbuh) name comes 43 times, Prophet Hud (pbuh) names comes 7 times, Prophet Salih (Pbuh) names comes 8 times, Prophet Yousuf (pbuh) name comes 26 times, Story of Prophet Younus (pbuh) comes in 6 Surrahs in the Holy Quran & names of some other prophets comes more than the name of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), If (Maaz Allah) Muhammad (pbuh) wrote the Holy Quran then why not he used his name more than any other prophet?



COMMON SENSE # 9:If Muhammad (peace be upon him) MAAZ ALLAH not a prophet then why he used to pray 5 times a day and conveyed the message of ALLAH that this an order from ALLAH, & in ISLAM u can’t pray without performing ablution. Why Muhammad (pbuh) used to pray? What for? For who?



COMMON SENSE # 10:If Muhammad (peace be upon him) MAAZ ALLAH not a prophet then why he himself performed “HAJJ” which is the toughest of the pillars of ISLAM, and said that it is FARZ (Imperative) for all Muslims who have the money to afford it. For who? What for?



COMMON SENSE # 11: Why Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) strictly ordered not to do "SAJDA" before any body but ALLAH. IF he is not MAAZ ALLAH not a prophet then why he said so? Why not he said do "SAJDA" to me as well?



COMMON SENSE# 12:If Muhammad (peace be upon him) MAAZ ALLAH not a prophet then why he used to "FAST" for the whole month of "RAMADAN" for 29 to 30 days without a break & why he most of the time used to PRAY in TARAWEEH (long prayer) and other prayers after the FAST? for who? For what?



COMMON SENSE# 13:If Muhammad (peace be upon him) MAAZ ALLAH not a prophet then why he used to give ZAKAAT (Obligatory Charity, Money to poor) and said that this is God’s order and every one who can afford should give ZAKAAT. FITRAA is also a God’s order and it is also giving money to poor ppl. Why he used to do that himself and said that this is IMPERATIVE for all Muslims who ever can afford ZAKAAT & FITRAA. For what and for who?



COMMON SENSE# 14:If Muhammad (peace be upon him) MAAZ ALLAH not a prophet then why he used to give KHAIRAT,SADQA,AQIQA,HADYA,KAFFARA etc to poor ppl which is again giving to needy ppl to gain reward from ALLAH.



COMMON SENSE#15: Even Abraham (Pbuh), Moses (Pbuh) used to dress like Muslims, cover head, beard and thoroughly covered body.



COMMON SENSE#16: There is a Quranic verse named after mother of Jesus (Pbuh), the name of the verse is Surrah-e-Mayam.If prophet Muhammad (Pbuh) is MAAZ ALLAH not a prophet then why not he named the Quranic verse name after his mother? Allah says that he choose Mary above “the women of all nations”. Why not Muhammad (Pbuh)‘s mother if he MAAZ ALLAH wrote the Holy Quran himself. (3:42). AL-E-IMRAN (THE FAMILY OF 'IMRAN, THE HOUSE OF 'IMRAN) "Behold! the angel said: 'God has chosen you and purified you and has chosen you above the women of all nations. O Mary! God gives you the good news of a word from Him, whose name shall be Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, honored in this world and the hereafter, and one of those brought near to God".



COMMON SENSE#17: If Muhammad (Pbuh) is not a TRUE prophet then why he never used alcohol and made it strictly prohibited, which is always use by humans for fake enjoyments. for whom? What for? Why?



COMMON SENSE#18: When Muhammad (Pbuh) went to MAKKAH to perform Hajj from MEDINA with all of his followers but with no arms when the ppl of MAKKAH were to HOSTILE against Muslims, for whom? What for? Why?



COMMON SENSE#19:The Prophet's wife `A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said, I asked, "Messenger of Allah, why do you exert yourself so much while all your sins have been forgiven?" To this he replied, "`A'ishah, should I not be a grateful servant of Allah?" (Muslim). If he maaz Allah not speaking the truth then for who he used to pray that long? what for?



COMMON SENSE#20: Muhammad (pbuh) was a posthumous & his mother died, when he was about six, then could he give unimaginable respect to parents?

(NOT EVEN UFF, TO PARENTS)

And your Lord has decreed that you not worship except Him, and to parents, good treatment. Whether one or both of them reach old age [while] wi
