Secrets of Divine Love

Do not place a period where God has placed a comma, because God’s plan stretches beyond your moments of doubt and fear.

The question and the answer come from the same place. Have the courage to dive inside,

For the Muslim, a true disbeliever is not one who is genuinely seeking the truth, but rather one who is aware of God’s existence, but out of arrogance or ingratitude refuses to obey Him. In other words, being a kafir could be understood as a state of resisting the natural state of what it means to be human.

God loved you before you were even created, before you even knew of Him.

you did not sin Allah would replace you with people who would sin and they would seek the forgiveness of Allah and He would forgive them.”1
PROPHET MUHAMMAD

“Be merciful to those on the Earth and the One above the heavens will have mercy upon you.”20
PROPHET MUHAMMAD

Justice is when you get exactly what you deserve, but what can we earn in relationship to a God who needs nothing and gives us everything? Can you pray enough to the One who gave you a tongue, a mouth, a body and an existence? How can God be unjust if He takes something from you, when He is the owner of everything in existence including you?

God is not unjust, it is we who are unjust. We are the ones who withhold from God what He already owns. As the Qur’an says, it is we who have “wronged ourselves” with choices that we have made (7:23). It is not God who oppresses us. God makes this clear when He says, “Oh My servants! I have forbidden oppression for Myself, and I have made it forbidden amongst you, so do not oppress one another.”

Whereas the human being can be kind, God is Kindness (Ar-Ra’uf); where we can be merciful, God is Mercy (Ar-Rahman). God is not just peaceful, He is Peace (As-Salam). God’s loving qualities do not change in response to our choices because God is not reactive. He is the cause of everything in existence.

When we realize that Allah loves us beyond what can be fathomed and that He always knows what is best for us, our fear of the unknown transforms into faith. After all, as the Qur’an says, “To Him belong the keys of the heavens and the earth” (39:63).
