Page 37 - Love of Allah

Harun Yahya - Adnan Oktar

ADNAN OKTAR: This is a sign of love. Allah created the angels,
but the angels have no means of making any sacrifice for Allah; they do
not suffer hardships, they have to show no courage, there is no need for
them to display free will, as everything is given to them in an obligato-
ry form. But that is not the case with human beings. Human beings have
the strength to show the intensity of their love of Allah. For example, if
they are determined in their love for Him, then no matter what Allah
does, no matter what hardships He creates, the result is still a state of af-
fairs that expresses that love. For example, a person wants her beloved
to be loyal to her under all circumstances, doesn't she? She wants him
to show fidelity, and to show courage under a difficult situation and
show himself. She wants him to protect her even at the cost of his life.
This is an excellent thing. And it is the same with Allah. Allah wants us
to experience that joy. Giving up our lives for Allah, being wounded for
Allah, going hungry for Allah or suffering imprisonment for Allah are
all signs of love. In other words, the lover is satisfied by this. It eases his
soul. Because he wants to show his love. The thing for a person to do is
to support his beloved, even at the most difficult times. That is the
lover's law. Never to leave the beloved, even under the most trying cir-
cumstances, always to remain loyal and never to permit the slightest de-
crease in one's love, but rather to increase it. Allah thus gives us this op-
portunity in this world. And we use it as an opportunity to reveal our
love of Allah. (Tempo TV, January 20, 2009)
