Bi ismillahi rahmani raheem
You are welcome to post what ever you like in the Islamic Interfaith Dialogue It is for Interfaith dialogue, where Muslims discuss with non-Muslims. We encourge that dialogue takes place in a cordial atmosphere on various topics including religious tolerance. as long as it remains a discussion and doesn't simply turn into an evangelical rant you should be fine. We cant say Allah IS love, it is an emotion not a living thing. Love is a thing Allah chose to feel for us it doesnt dominate his personality or cloud his judgment the same way it does for us becouse we lack self control he doesnt. So saying love is his nature [as i understood the word ontologically] is not a correct way of describing him as it is tantamount to saying he loves attachment itself which is ascribing imperfection to him as he is not in need of anything. You cant ascribe human Qualities to god the same way as you would to a person, the way we love is not the same way he loves. You can say he "loves" in a general sence but you have to remove all forms of weakness, reliance and imperfection from your thought to try to understand the way HE loves. Edited by rami |

Fair enough.
So would you say Allah has always "loved"..... I guess what I mean.... As I understand Jehovah... His love is greater than I can understand...just as you have described Allah... I guess where my confusion comes in is this...If Allah is not "Love" in his essence....I mean...If love does not describe him per se.... But instead love is a "thing" chose to "feel"... here is my question... IF love is a thing did Allah create it? If he is beyond comparison or weakness in reference to his creation...would not "feeling" be a weakness? Ontological love would be eternal love and therefore outside the realm of "feeling" because it is literally who Allah is.... I guess I am trying to wrap my head around that... Because if I understand Tawhid correctly...perhaps I do not... Then how could Allah who is absolutely "one" take upon himself any "thing" or attribute that is not eternally who he is? I am DEFINETLY not setting up a debate or argument with what I have said...I am honestly trying to wrap my mind around it...I want to make sure I fairly represent Muslims in my thesis... To often evangelicals make assumptions regarding Muslims that are not true! |

hey poga,
I'm not quite sure what you are saying... Are you saying that Allah is eternally loving..and eternally those attributes that you listed? I will disregard your jabs...As my goal here is not to debate...but to gain an understanding... But if you are posting to respond to what I asked....then please respond to the entire post and my question regarding things and feelings... |

imagery of love in BIBLE is vital because BIBLE is pornography imagine god and Mary or god and Sara in AL QURAN no imagination is needed and yet it is very vital like guiding voice of ALLAH and lost humanity

1. If you are referencing "beget" as pornography...then you are mistaken my friend. "Beget" is NOT the accurate translation of the Greek work Monogenes' which means one of a kind or unique. It has NOTHING to do with biological paternity... 2. You still have not answered my question poga.... Would this mean that Allah is love much like the Bible calls Jehovah love... Since his attributes are eternal...love would "describe" him to some degree...By that I mean he did not "love" after he created man but because his "love" is eternal he is eternally a "loving" God? Does that make sense? |
