38:32 - And he said "Truly do I love the love of Good with a view to the glory of my Lord" until (the<br />

sun) was hidden in the veil (of Night): 41854186<br />

4185 The story is not found in the Old Testament. I interpret it to mean that, like his father David, Solomon was also most<br />

meticulous in not allowing the least motive of self to be mixed up with his spiritual virtues. He was fond of horses; he<br />

had great armies and wealth; but he used them all in Allah's service. Cf. xxvii. 19. n. 3259; xxvii. 40. n. 3276, etc. His<br />

battles were not fought for lust of blood, but as Jihad in the cause of righteousness. His love of horses was not like<br />

that of a mere race-goer or of a warrior: there was a spiritual element in it. He loved by a kind of love which was<br />

spiritual,-the love of the highest Good. Some commentators interpret this verse saying that Soloman, peace be upon<br />

him, was so engrossed in the inspection of his fine horses that he completely forgot to say his 'Asr prayer before the<br />

sunset'. (38.32)<br />

58:22- Thou wilt not find any people who believe in Allah and the Last Day loving those who resist<br />

Allah and His Apostle even though they were their fathers or their sons or their brothers or<br />

their kindred.<br />

5363 If any one believes in Allah and His goodness and justice, and in the Hereafter, in which all true values will be restored<br />

he will never love evil or wrong-doing or rebellion against Allah, even if these things are found in his nearest kith and<br />

kin. (58.22)<br />

75:20 - Nay (ye men!) but ye love the fleeting life 5821<br />

5821 Cf. xxi. 37. Man loves haste and things of haste. For that reason he pins his faith on transitory<br />

things that come and go, and neglects the things of lasting moment, which come slowly, and<br />

whose true import will only be fully seen in the Hereafter. (75.20)<br />

76:27 - As to these they love the fleeting life and put away behind them a Day (that will be) hard.<br />

5858<br />

5858 Fleeting life: Cf. lxxv. 20. They: the immediate reference was to the Pagan Quraish: the general reference is to the<br />

Unbelievers of all ages. They reject, or at least put away the thought of, a Hereafter, a Day that will be hard, for the<br />

easy pleasures of a fleeting life. (76.27)<br />

Al-Muwatta Hadith<br />

Hadith 51.15<br />

Those who Love Each Other in Allah<br />

Yahya related to me from Malik from Suhayl ibn Abi Salih from his father from Abu Hurayra that the<br />

Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "If Allah loves a slave, he says to<br />

Jibril, 'I love so-and-so, so love him,' so Jibril loves him and then calls out to the people of heaven, 'Allah<br />

loves so-and-so, so love him,' and the people of heaven love him, and then acceptance is placed in the Earth<br />

for him." When Allah is angry with a slave, Malik said, "I consider that he says the like of that about His<br />

anger."<br />

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith<br />

Hadith 5.37 Narrated by<br />

Anas<br />

A man asked the Prophet about the Hour (i.e. Day of Judgment) saying, "When will the Hour be?" The Prophet said, "What<br />

have you prepared for it?" The man said, "Nothing, except that I love Allah and His Apostle." The Prophet said, "You will be<br />

with those whom you love." We had never been so glad as we were on hearing that saying of the Prophet (i.e., "You will be<br />

with those whom you love.") Therefore, I love the Prophet, Abu Bakr and 'Umar, and I hope that I will be with them beCause<br />

of my love for them though my deeds are not similar to theirs.<br />

Al-Tirmidhi Hadith<br />

Hadith 1495 Narrated by<br />

AbudDarda<br />

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: One of the supplications of David was: Allah, I beg of Thee Thy love and the love of<br />

those who love Thee, and such conduct as should lead me to Thy love. Allah, make Thy love dearer to me than my soul and<br />

my family and dearer than cold water.<br />

Al-Tirmidhi Hadith<br />

Hadith 2480 Narrated by<br />

Abdullah ibn Yazid al-Khatmi<br />

Abdullah told on the authority of Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) that he used to say in his supplication, "O Allah,<br />

provide me with Thy love and the love of those whose love will benefit me with thee. O Allah, make the things I love with<br />
