I am Muslim.
Islam is purity. Islam is the religion of love. Even though it is forbidden to directly tackle the Qur'an (the revelation from God to Muhammad, peace be upon him and his family) or the Hadiths (the sayings of Muhammad); because one must refer to the saints of Islam for the meanings; still let us mention that God says (in the Qur'an):
"follow the path of him who comes to me with love" (Surah 31, V 15)
"Say: If you love Allah (God) follow me, Allah will love you and forgive you your sins" (Surah 3, V 31).
We ask the love of God, not the love that He grants to every one but His special love. To achieve that, we seek Muhammad, because he is the one who understands the wants of God, he is the one accepted by God and he is the beloved of God; and after Muhammad and the Companions of Muhammad, his inheritors, the saints of Islam.
I mentioned above 2 verses spoken by God Himself (in the Qur'an), now let me mention that Muhammad said:
"Intellect is the origin of my religion" and "love is its pillar". Muhammad also said that the truest thing a poet ever said is what the poet Labid said: "everything except Allah (God) is vain".
Ibn Arabi, a saint of Islam said: "love is my religion and my belief".
Ibn Arabi - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
God created us and loves us. This is the reason why everyone loves love. No one complains of it. We must seek His love, always more and more. This is what brings the happiness in our hearts.
"Love of our Beloved is the day and the night
And we, like a thirsty fish in this stream, day and night
How can this night and this day bring the perfume of the night and the day
And in the night and the day of the lover, where are the day and the night ?"
