Page 79 - Love of Allah

Harun Yahya - Adnan Oktar

person's such characteristics, even if you never meet that person,
serves as a means for that person to be profoundly and enthusiasti-
cally loved.
Even if those who possess faith never see, meet, or come into
contact, they will feel an internal love, respect, and a binding close-

ness to Allah's messengers. Allah sent all of the prophets as a mercy,
and the fact that He mentions with love and praise in many verses
heightens the believers' love for them. Those believers always men-
tion Allah's prophets and messengers with respect, love, and praise,
and always keep them in front of and above themselves. At every
opportunity, they tell people of these great people's submission to
Allah, their closeness, love, and good morals, and call others to em-

ulate the path of the prophets.
Allah reveals the believers' love for the prophets and informs us
that they always put the prophets ahead of themselves:
The Prophet has a greater claim on the believers than they have
on themselves; his wives are [as] their mothers; and blood rela-
tions have the better claim in respect of one to the other, ac-
cording to the Book of Allah, than other believers and the emi-
grants, except that you should act in a proper manner toward
your close associates. That is inscribed in the Book. (Surat al-
Ahzab, 6)
Many verses relate the prophets' good morals and superior
characteristics. Some of these are given below:

And left the later people saying of him: "Peace be upon
Abraham." That is how We recompense good-doers. He truly
was one of Our believing servants. We gave him the good news
of Isaac, a prophet, one of the believers. We showered blessings
upon him and Isaac. Among their descendants are good-doers
and also people who clearly wrong themselves. (Surat as-Saffat,
108-113)
