engines, etc., etc. In "heaped-up hoards of gold and silver," the Arabic word translated hoards is quanatir plural of
quintar, which literally means a Talent of 1.200 ounces of gold. (3.14)
3:31 - Say: "If ye do love Allah follow me: Allah will love you and forgive you your sins for Allah is
Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful."
3:92 - By no means shall ye attain righteousness unless ye give (freely) of that which ye love; and
whatever ye give of a truth Allah knoweth it well. 419
419 The test of charity is: do you give something that you value greatly, something that you love? If you give your life in a
Cause, that is the greatest gift you can give. If you give yourself, that is, your personal efforts, your talents, your skill,
your learning, that comes next in degree. If you give your earnings, your property, your possessions, that is also a
great gift; for many people love them even more than other things. And there are less tangible things, such as
position, reputation, the well-being of those we love, the regard of those who can help us, etc. It is unselfishness that
Allah demands, and there is no act of unselfishness, however small or intangible, but is well within the knowledge of
Allah. (3.92)
3:103 - And hold fast all together by the rope which Allah (stretches out for you) and be not divided
among yourselves; and remember with gratitude Allah's favor on you; for ye were enemies
and He joined your hearts in love so that by His grace ye became brethren; and ye were on
the brink of the pit of fire and He saved you from it. Thus doth Allah make his signs clear to
you: that ye may be guided. 429430
5:54 - O ye who believe! if any from among you turn back from his faith soon will Allah produce a
people whom He will love as they will love Him
767 As "most men are rebellious" (v. 49), it is inevitable that there should be apostates even from such a religion of reason
and common-sense as Islam. But here is a warning to the Muslim body that they should not repeat the history of the
Jews, and become so self-satisfied or arrogant as to depart from the spirit of Allah's teaching. If they do, the loss will
be their own. Allah's bounty is not confined to one group or section of humanity. He can always raise up people who
will follow the true spirit of Islam. That spirit is defined in two ways: first in general terms; they will love Allah and Allah
will love them; and secondly, by specific signs; amongst the Brethren, their attitude will be that of humility, but to
wrong-doers they will offer no mealy-mouthed compromises; they will always strive and fight for truth and right; they
will know no fear, either physical, or that more insidious form, which says; "What will people say if we act thus? They
are too great in mind to be haunted by any such thought. For, as the next verse says, their friends are Allah, His
Prophet, and His people, the people who judge rightly, without fear or favour. (5.54)
19:96 - On those who believe and work deeds of righteousness will (Allah) Most Gracious bestow
Love. 2532
2532 His own love, and the love of man's fellow-creatures, in this world and in the Hereafter. Goodness breeds love and
peace, and sin breeds hatred and contention. (19.96)
30:21 - And among His Signs is this that He created for you mates from among yourselves that ye
may dwell in tranquillity with them and He has put love and mercy between your (hearts);
verily in that are Signs for those who reflect. 35253526
3526 Cf. vii. 189. Unregenerate man is pugnacious in the male sex, but rest and tranquility are found in the normal relations
of a father and mother dwelling together and bringing up a family. A man's chivalry to the opposite sex is natural and
Allah-given. The friendship of two men between each other is quite different in quality and temper from the feeling
which unspoilt nature expects as between men and women. There is a special kind of love and tenderness between
them. And as woman is the weaker vessel, that tenderness may from a certain aspect be likened to mercy, the
protecting kindness which the strong should give to the weak. (30.21)
31:15 - "But if they strive to make the join in worship with Me things of which thou hast no
knowledge obey them not; Yet bear them company in this life with justice (and consideration)
and follow the way of those who turn to Me (in love): in the End the return of you all is to Me
and I will tell you the truth (and meaning) of all that ye did." 359735983599
3598 In any apparent conflict of duties our standard should be Allah's Will, as declared to us by His command. That is the
way of those who love Allah: and their motive in disobedience to parents or human authority where disobedience is
necessary by Allah's Law is not self willed rebellion or defiance, but love of Allah, which means the true love of man in
the highest sense of the word. And the reason we should give is: "Both you and I have to return to Allah; therefore not
only must I follow Allah's Will, but you must command nothing against Allah's Will." (31.15)
3599 These conflicts may appear to us strange and puzzling in this life. But in Allah's Presence we shall see their real
meaning and significance. It may be that that was one way in which our true mettle could be tested: for it is not easy to
disobey and love man at the same time. (31.15)
