Love of Allah
Some people, who are not aware of the Qur'an's morality and
who, as a result, cannot properly acknowledge and appreciate Allah,
are deprived of love and friendship and live a life characterized by
pain and punishment. Among these people, even the ones who lead
the apparently most successful lives cannot find true happiness and
peace. Those who lead a solitary life that has no room for love and
friendship, and who do not live by the Qur'an, find no moment that
is truly good or enjoyable. Such a state is a punishment for those who
are characterized by spiritual and temporal cruelty toward others
and a lack of belief. They will never truly love or be loved. The love
experienced by these people (ascribing partners to Allah) is not true
love and will only bring them pessimism, hopelessness, and pain.
