Love for Allah Bismillah Ar Rahman Ar Raheem, Love for Allah, a very deep –rooted affection ,is combination of various emotions. This love contains a feeling of submission to our Creator, who is the Lord of infinite might, a strong trust in His infinite mercy, a respect for His infinite wisdom, and a great admiration for the infinite beauty He creates. Knowing that Allah is the Lord of all, adds loyalty and devotion to this love. Those who are aware of all of these things become devoted to Lord with a very intense love, which is utterly real and pure. The love that the believers feel for our Lord is expressed in the Qur’an, as follows: “Yet there are men who take (for worship) others besides Allah, as equal (with Allah): They love them as they should love Allah. But those of Faith are overflowing in their love for Allah. If only the unrighteous could see, behold, they would see the penalty: that to Allah belongs all power, and Allah will strongly enforce the penalty.” (Holy Quran, Surah Al-Baqarah,165) Every thing around and within us points to unity of purpose and design-points to ALLAH (Subhana Wa Tala). Yet there are foolish persons (unrighteous=those who deliberately use the choice given them to go wrong). They think something else is equal to ALLAH (Subhana Wa Tala). Perhaps they even do lip service to ALLAH, but their heart is in their fetish-unlike the heart of the Righteous, who are wholly devoted and absorbed in the Love of ALLAH (Subhana Wa Tala). If only the unrighteous could see the consequences, they would see the terrible penalty, and that all Power is in ALLAHs hands, not in that of anyone else. Who are these others who are used as fetishes by the misguided? It may be; (1) Creatures of their own imaginations, or of their faculties misused; the idea lying behind idols is akin to this, for no intelligent idol-worshiper owns to worshiping stocks and stones; or (2) Good leaders whose names have been misused out of perversity to erect them to a position of equality with ALLAH; (3) Powers of evil that deliberately mislead. When it comes to the inevitable consequences of blasphemy and the rejection of ALLAH, the eyes of all are opened and these false and artificial relations dissolve. The idea which was created into a fetish disowns its followers, i.e., is seen to have a reasonable basis in the life of the follower, and the follower is forced to renounce it as false. The good leaders whose names were misused would of course disown the misuse of their names, and the evil ones would take an unholy delight in exposing the facts. The reality is now irresistible, but alas! At what cost?
