Islamic Values.. Love

Egypt's Dar al-Iftaa explains an Islamic value. So that people learn the truth of Islam and the morals of the Prophet peace be upon him.

No religion urges its followers to foster mutual love, affection and intimacy as does the religion of Islam. This should be the case at all times, not just on specific days. Islam encourages us to extend affection and love for each other all the times.

Prophet Muhammad lost his mother at an early age and his father had died before he was even born, he knew and acknowledged parental rights and was keen to teach them to his community. Once a man came to the Prophet and asked him, ‘Who, among mankind, is most entitled to my good companionship?’ He said, ‘Your mother.’ He said, ‘Then who?’ He replied, ‘Then, your mother.’ He continued, ‘Then who?’ and he repeated, ‘Then, your mother.’ He asked once again, ‘Then who?’ to which he replied, ‘Your father.’"

Hadith on love

By way of Anas, may God be pleased with him, “The Prophet said, ‘None of you has faith until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself.’”

By way of Abu Al-Dardaa’, who said, “The Messenger of God said, ‘No Muslim worshipper supplicates on behalf of his brother, secretly, except that an angel says, “And for you something similar.”’”
