Love, Justice and Allah’s Plan

Today, there is a new buzzword going around. It’s called “love”. Love is the new religion, the solution to all of the woes of the world.

But what, to these purveyors of love and unity, is love?

To many people, the word love conjures up beautiful images of ideals, an ideal world without war or sorrow. Is this however in keeping with what we find in the guidance of the Qur’an and Sunnah?

You see, we have to define love. Is love some sentiment or just feelings of desire between a man and a woman?

What about unity? Is there such a thing as a universal unity that everyone everywhere agrees about?

For there to be unity, there must be the agreement of an idea, a principle that people refer to as their guide. How can there be unity in a system that promotes individuality as a way of life?

Islam recognizes that people are different. That is why Allah

Has told us:

That is, there is a natural difference between people in their interests, efforts and abilities.

Based on this guidance, a Muslim understands that people will choose different vocations and will pursue varied fields and talents. On that level, it is clear that people are not alike in this regard.

Likewise, it is also not realistic, that everyone will be guided to the truth of Islam. This is why the Most Wise says:

and Allah has also said in another verse:

These verses establish that it is the will of the Most High that people will differ but they will be accountable for their dividing and rejecting the guidance that came to them in order that they establish universal peace on earth based on the basis of divine fairness, balance and justice.

An examination and inspection of the “Love” phenomenon shows that it does not stand up to the natural way. Continents have been divided using the strategies of “Divide and Rule” and this tactic continues to be used as a political tool of manipulation and the economic control and exploitation of nations over one another.

Islam does not promote this contradictory philosophy, yet is not against peace and harmony. It simply says that to attain peace, justice must be established to show that one is serious about achieving that goal, as opposed to popular, catchy slogans that are not based on knowledge of history far less of the guidance of the Book of Allah and His Messenger.
