Page 71 - Love of Allah

Harun Yahya - Adnan Oktar

Allah loves His servants, wills the good for them, is oft-forgiv-
ing and merciful, helps them in every instance, and bestows kind-
ness upon His servants without seeking recompense. The idolaters
and unbelievers are far away from Allah's mercy. Our Lord, the pos-
sessor of infinite justice, provides for His pious servants who possess

a genuine heart and true belief in Allah, and will reward them in this
world and the Hereafter. Those who insist on unbelief will suffer the
pains of Hell.
Those who comprehend our Lord's infinite strength and ability
to punish in the Hereafter hold Allah in complete awe and respect.
As a result, they are careful not to adopt an attitude that does not
earn our Lord's good pleasure. However, on the other hand, as a re-

sult of their genuine and faithful love of Allah, hoping Allah will for-
give their sins and accept their repentance, they do their best to earn
His good pleasure and be rewarded with Paradise for their striving
in His path. The Qur'an mentions the believers' morals, as follows:
Those who fear [and respect] their Lord in the Unseen will have
forgiveness and an immense reward. (Surat al-Mulk, 12)

O you who believe. Fear [and respect] Allah the way He should
be feared [and respected], and do not die except as Muslims.
(Surah Al 'Imran, 102)
Every believer who genuinely loves Allah will feel a great awe
for Allah's punishment and, by trying not to lose His love and con-
sent, will strive to earn His good pleasure. Allah says of those be-
lievers, who have these morals:

But as for anyone who desires the Hereafter and strives for it
with the striving it deserves, being a believer, their striving will
be gratefully acknowledged. (Surat al-Isra', 19)
