Is there any place in the Quran that tells Muslims that Allah loves them?
I can cite numerous verses, from my Bible that tells me of God's love for me.
Can you cite one verse from the Quran?
If I believe Islam is a true religion from God, and I lie to make it look great, that would be great generosity. It is so because if Islam is true, it must be obvious, and there is no need to lie. Going out of my way and lying would be great generosity.
If I believe Islam is not a true religion from God, and I lie to make it look good, that would also be great generosity. It is so because I would go out of my way to lie for a religion that does not deserve it. That would be great generosity.
So people should really stop the absurdity of claiming that I am lying to make Islam look good. Islam is beautiful in every single aspect because it is a religion from God, The Beautiful. There is no need to lie about it.
That being said, I would like someone to present to me a single verse of the sBible which mentions God's love for people. Bear in mind that a God who is a father of human beings or a human being himself can not give proper love, and surely not divine love.
As to Islam, it does not run by the Qur'an. The holy books of Islam are the Qur'an and the books of Hadiths (the sayings of Muhammad, peace be upon him and his family). Let's say that these make 15 books or 20 books (1 of them is the Qur'an, the rest are the Hadiths). If you go to an Islamic library, you will find tons of books beyond these 15 or 20 holy books. I say this only to prove to people unaware of it tht it is forbidden to read the Qur'an or the Hadiths and understand them as you read them. One must refer to the scholars of Islam and the saints of Islam (who are the greater scholars of Islam) for the meanings of the Qur'an and the Hadiths. These scholars teach that God loves everyone:
"We have honored the human beings"
"In the Name of God, the Most Merciful, the Great Merciful" (this is my own translation of this verse, which begin 113 out of 114 chapters of the Qur'an).
These scholars teach that God loves some people (the good Muslims) in a special way:
"Follow the way of him who turns to me in love"
"God loves the pious"
"Can those who know and those who know not be equal ?"
Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family) said:
"Give up what people possess and people will love you; give up the world and God will love you."
