Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar)

the Day of Rising you will reject one another and
curse one another. The Fire will be your shelter. You
will have no helpers.” (Surat al-‘Ankabut: 25)
Said Nursi, also known as Bediuzzaman (the Wonder
of the Age), one of the greatest Islamic scholars of the 20th
century, likens this form of love to that of a man who
looks at the Sun through a mirror held in his hand. Once
the mirror is broken into pieces and light is no longer re-
flected from it, the man feels profound distress at having
lost a source of light. However, he is not intelligent
enough to realize that the light in the mirror does not ac-
tually originate from it. The light comes from the Sun; mir-
rors only reflect it.
A believer shows all his love for Allah. Loving Allah
means to love beings, aware that they reflect the attributes
of Allah and that these attributes actually belong to Him,
as in the case of the mirrors.
Consequently, a believer shows his love for Allah by
loving believers who make “manifest” the attributes of
Allah in their manner and conduct, and who display the
moral values foreseen to be good by Allah. This form of
love is not based on kinship, race or any kind of interest.
Due to the love felt for Allah, it is solely a matter of loving
those who love Allah. In the Qur’an, our Lord describes
the love between believers by referring to the love be-
tween the companions of the Prophet Muhammad (saas)
in his time:
Those who were already settled in the abode, and in
faith, before they came, love those who have emi-
grated to them and do not find in their hearts any need
