In the Quran, is there an explicit mention of  Allah's love towards his people? Where exactly?

Allah's love is more than 40 times than our mother's love toward us. That is the reason people don't get punished immediately as he gives them chance to change with understanding. \n\n\nNow understand ALLAH as follows\n\n\n\nTHE RELIGION OF ISLAM\nThe first thing that one should know and clearly understand about Islam is what the word "Islam" itself means.\n\nThe religion of Islam is not named after a person as in the case of Christianity which was named after Jesus Christ, Buddhism after Gotama Buddha, Confucianism after Confucius, and Marxism after Karl Marx. Nor was it named after a tribe like Judaism after the tribe of Judah and Hinduism after the Hindus. Islam is the true religion of "Allah" and as such, its name represents the central principle of Allah's "God's" religion; the total submission to the will of Allah "God". The Arabic word "Islam" means the submission or surrender of one's will to the only true god worthy of worship "Allah" and anyone who does so is termed a "Muslim", The word also implies "peace" which is the natural consequence of total submission to the will of Allah. Hence, it was not a new religion brought by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in Arabia in the seventh century, but only the true religion of Allah re-expressed in its final form.\n\nIslam is the religion which was given to Adam, the first man and the first prophet of Allah, and it was the religion of all the prophets sent by Allah to mankind. The name of God's religion Islam was not decided upon by later generations of man. It was chosen by Allah Himself and clearly mentioned in His final revelation to man. In the final book of divine revelation, the Qur'an, Allah states the following:\n"This day have I perfected your religion for you, completed My favor upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion". (Surah Al-Ma'idah 5:3)\n\n"If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (submission to Allah (God) never will It be accepted of Him" (Surah Aal'imraan 3:85)\n\n"Abraham was not a Jew nor Christian; but an upright Muslim."\n(Surah Aal'imraan 3:67)\n\nNowhere in the Bible will you find Allah saying to Prophet Moses' people or their descendants that their religion is Judaism, nor to the followers of Christ that their religion is Christianity. In fact, Christ was not even his name, nor was it Jesus! The name "Christ" comes from the Greek word Christos which means the anointed. That is, Christ is a Greek translation of the Hebrew title "Messiah". The name "Jesus" on the other hand, is a latinized version of the Hebrew name Esau.\n\nFor simplicity's sake, I will however continue to refer to Prophet Esau (PBUH) as Jesus. As for his religion, it was what he called his followers to. Like the prophets before him, he called the people to surrender their will to the will of Allah; (which is Islam) and he warned them to stay away from the false gods of human imagination.\n\nAccording to the New Testament, he taught his followers to pray as follows: "Yours will be done on earth as it is in Heaven".\nTHE MESSAGE OF ISLAM\n\nSince the total submission of one's will to Allah represents the essence of worship, the basic message of Allah's divine religion, Islam is the worship of Allah alone and the avoidance of worship directed to any person, place or thing other than Allah. Since everything other than Allah, the Creator of all things, is Allah's creation; it may be said that Islam, in essence calls man away from the worship of creation and invites him to worship only its Creator. He is the only one deserving man's worship as it is only by His will that prayers are answered. If man prays to a tree and his prayers are answered, it was not the tree which answered his prayers but Allah who allowed the circumstances prayed for to take place. One mi

A very good question. Thanks for the verse; I didn't even know that was in the Quran. I would be interested to know how what the Muslims say on this one.

This is written in the Hebrew Talmud It says: "Be very careful if you make a woman cry, because God counts her tears. The woman came out of a man's rib--- not from his feet to be walked on, not from his head to be superior, but from the side to be equal, under the arm to be protected, and next to the heart to be loved.\n\nGod hears the words of the woman who complains to Muhammad about the cruelty of her husband; God hears her words when she complains directly to him. God listens to everything that is said; he hears all and observes all.

It is safe to say the Koran does not define Allah because everyone in the region would have already known what it means.\n\nAlilah, Allah, Allaah, etc.

there is no verse in the Quran.\nMuslim scholars say it is haram but never provided a saying of the prophet. so, i don't know. i think they said it's haram cuz people in the past used to believe it's harmful.

5:51 & 9:29 "against"\n5:82 & 2:62  "respect"\n\nWhat makes muslims decide how to treat those of other faiths depends on whether they have read the entire Qur'an in context, and understand it's meaning, or whether they follow the lead of haters without understanding. This can happen in any faith.

Much of this is symbolic talk.. there is no where in the Quran that says anything about either 70 or 72 virgins.  70 by the way implies infinity from 7, which is symbolically is a week, which keeps coming year after year.\n\nAli (the heir of the Prophet Mohammad) and Caliph of the Muslims said there are three categories of Muslims.  The slaves, the business people, the TRUE BELIEVERS.  Slave-Muslims are those who do good out of fear of punishment and hell.  Businessmen-Muslims are those who do good for gain of paradise or heaven, but the TRUE MUSLIMS are those who do good for the sake of Allah (SWT), to please God.  Their actions are the most superior, as they have no personal motive in it.\n\nOne more thing.  It is not allowed to kill the innocent in Islam.  Everyone is made and nourished by Allah (SWT or Subhaanahoo Wa Ta'ala which means "Holy is HE, THE MOST HIGH!".  Allah literally means THE-GOD, a conjugation of the words THE or AL and ILAH or god, any god). \n\nQuran 5:32 says KILLING one innocent person is like killing all humanity and saving one innocent life is saving all humanity (the context is the killing of Abel by Cain).  Cain not only killed abel but also everyone who would come in the lineage of Abel as well, thousands and millions of people.  So, killing the innocent is a grave and capital crime which can get you the death penalty in Islam.  Killing of a human being is allowed ONLY in self defence or for crimes that are of a capital nature, such as murder and rape etc.\n\nQuran 10:99 says "If Allah willed it, all nations would be Muslims.  Would you then use force to convert?".  Quran 2:257 also says "Compulsion is not allowed in the matter of faith and conscience", as the Lord has given everyone the FREE WILL, based on which we will be judged.  If Free Will is not allowed to be excercised, again one is quetioning God's authority no less!! These verses do show that some Arabs wanted people to be forced to believe in Islam and in spite of these powerful instructions some Muslims DID FORCE PEOPLE TO BELIEVE! even after the Quran having logically refuting it.  \n\nIf someone forces anyone to ISLAM after these verses, they are themselves criminals in accordance with the laws enshrined iin the Quran.  Ignorance is not an excuse in some issues.\n\nPeace

Peace on you….Thank you for asking me about my religion\nAccording to the Quran, Allah tells us that He is the only creator and sustainer of all that exists and that nothing and no one exists alongside Him, nor does He have any partners. He tells us that He is not created, nor is He like His creation in anyway. He calls Himself by a number of names and three of them are:\n\nA) The First - (Al-Awal) \nB) The Last - (Al Akhir) \nC) The Eternal, who is sought after by His creation, while He has no need from them at all. (As-Samad) \nHe always has existed and He never was created, as He is not like His creation, nor similar to it, in any way.

Welcome  !!!\n\nThe Holy Quran : Chapter: 6 (Al-An`am), Verse:126\n \n[6:126] So, whomsoever God intends to guide, He expands his bosom for the acceptance of Islam; and whomsoever He intends that he should go astray, He makes his bosom narrow and close, as though he was mounting up into the skies. Thus does God inflict punishment on those who do not believe. \n\nThe Holy Quran : Chapter: 3 (Al-`Imran), Verse:20\n \n[3:20] Surely, the true religion with God  is Islam. And those who were given the Book did not disagree but, after knowledge had come to them, out of mutual envy. And whoso denies the Signs of God , then surely, God  is quick at reckoning. \n\nThe Holy Quran : Chapter: 39 (Al-Zumar), Verse:23\n \n[39:23] Is he then whose bosom God  has opened for the acceptance of Islam, so that he possesses a light from his Lord, like him who is grouping in the darkness of disbelief? Woe, then, to those whose hearts are hardened against the remembrance of God ! They are in manifest error. \n\nPeace

I have no idea about what the bible said cause I haven't read all of it, but I'm sure that Quran obliges the man to take good care of his parents as they grow old even if he's married, and to never talk to them harshely and to pray to God to have mercy on them as for they raised him as a child.

In many verses of the Glorious Qur'an Allah the Exalted denied the claim of the Christians that He has a son. A delegation from Nagran came to the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). They began to talk about their claim about the Trinity, which is that Allah is three in one, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, with some disagreement among their sects. That is why Allah affirmed in many verses of the Qur'an that Isa is a slave of Allah, whom He molded in the womb of his mother like any other of His creatures, and that He created him without a father, as He created Adam without a father or a mother.\n\nAllah the Almighty said: Allah chose Adam, Noah, the family of Ibrahim and the family of Imran above the Alamin (mankind and jinns)(of their times). Offspring, one of theo other, and Allah is All-Hearer, All-Knower.\n\nRemember when the wife of Imran said: "O my Lord! I have vowed to You what (the child that) is in my womb to be dedicated for Your services (free from all worldly work; to serve Your Place of worship), so accept this, from me. Verily, You are the All-Hearer, the All Knowing."\n\nThen when she delivered her (child Maryam), she said: "O my Lord! I have delivered a female child," and Allah knew better what she delivered, - "and the male is not like the female, and I have named her Maryam, and I seek refuge with You (Allah) for her and for her offspring from Satan, the outcast."\n\nSo her Lord (Allah) accepted her with goodly acceptance. He made her grow in a good manner and put her under the care of Zechariah. Every time he entered Al-Mihrab (a praying place or a private room), he found her supplied with sustenance.\n\nHe said: "O Maryam! From where have you got this?"\n\nShe said: "From Allah. Verily, Allah provides sustenance to whom He wills, without limit." ( 3:33-37 Quran)\n\nAllah declared that He had elected Adam (pbuh) and the elite of his offspring who obey Allah. Then He specified the family of Ibrahaim (pbuh), which includes the sons of Ismail (pbuh), and the family of Imran, the father of Maryam.\n\nMuhammad Ibn Is'haaq stated that he was Imran Ibn Bashim, Ibn Amun, Ibn Misha, Ibn Hosqia, Ibn Ahriq, Ibn Mutham, Ibn Azazia, Ibn Amisa, Ibn Yamish, Ibn Ahrihu, Ibn Yazem, Ibn Yahfashat, Ibn Eisha, Ibn Iyam, Ibn Rahba am, Ibn David (Dawud).\n\nProphet Zakariyah's (pbuh) wife's sister had a daughter named Hannah. She was married to Imran, a leader of the Israelites. For many years, the couple remained childless. Whenever Hannah saw another woman with a child, her longing for a baby increased. Although years had passed, she never lost hope. She believed that one day Allah would bless her with a child, on whom she would shower all her motherly love.\n\nShe turned to the Lord of the heavens and the earth and pleaded with Him for a child. She would offer the child in the service of Allah's house, in the temple of Jerusalem. Allah granted her request. When she learned that she was pregnant, she was the happiest woman alive, and thanked Allah for His gift. Her overjoyed husband Imran also thanked Allah for His mercy.\n\nHowever, while she was pregnant her husband passed away. Hannah wept bitterly. Alas, Imran did not live to see their child for whom they had so longed. She gave birth to a girl, and again turned to Allah in prayer: "O my Lord, I have delivered a female child," and the male is not like the female, and I have named her Maryam, and I seek refuge with You (Allah) for her and her offspring from Satan, the outcast." (3:36 Quran)\n\nHannah had a big problem in reference to her promise to Allah, for females were not accepted into the temple, and she was very worried. Her sister's husband Zakariyah, comforted her, saying that Allah knew best what she had delivered and appreciated fully what she had offered in His service. She wrapped the baby in a shawl and handed it over to the temple elders. As the baby was a girl, the ques
