Without love, without passion, without profundity, without real love; what are you looking for, everything loses its meaning. You know as some say, those left behind are beastly people. They are so repulsive, so disturbing to us, we have trouble calling them humans. But if one is self-sacrificing, courageous, patient, determined and brave we feel an admiration for him.

Almighty God says, "If you love Me, if you appreciate Me with My true measure, then you will have strong love as well." That is because those who fail to appreciate God with His true measure couldn't know love. How could one who is unable to appreciate his Beloved know love?

God only wants love. If you begrudge that love, then God would make you feel the pains of life, death and everything else many times over.

God always wants love. Or else neither beauty, nor anything else would have any meaning. Think about the mansions in Heaven and think about them filled with robot-like beings, think about those robot-like beings swimming in the pools of Heaven. Such a view, may God forbid, would be painful. As God bestows that blessing on humans carrying God's soul, on those who've suffered through ordeals, difficulties, an amazing beauty would be formed. With that, Heaven would find its meaning and by that, God would be measured with His true measure.

Love of God, closeness to God drives away scourges. Living by Islam meticulously, heeding the lawful and unlawful acts defined in the Qur'an is what drives away scourges.

God says, "If you forget Me, I will forget you as well." That is something known to the human soul as well; a person would want to see the most beautiful response to their love and that is also what God wants.

The one you say you love is actually an image inside your brain. Who is the One Who creates them to the smallest detail? Who is the One Who makes you love and Who makes you speak? God is the One Who creates all these. I mean there is nothing that belongs to the person across from you. If you give your love to an imaginary idol instead of God, that would be the worst kind of deception: You would be deceiving yourself.

Some people might be thinking that they would not be able to take pleasure if they give their love to God. Actually only then they can take the greatest pleasure; only then God would give that depth, that profundity.

What is perfect morality? It is patience, compassion, self-sacrifice, honesty, bravery and loyalty. Without fear of God, one would fall into heedlessness. For instance, one might say that he loves God but not perform prayers, saying, "I love God, God doesn't need my prayers." He might have a lot of money but not give alms, saying, "Those in need can find it elsewhere. I do love God and money makes me happy, it helps me be close to God." Or perhaps, one does not act bravely, saying, "I should not risk my life, I am living nicely here." But in fear of God one shows courage.

When one invokes the name of God, feels love for God, his heart would feel relieved. That is what a Muslim lives, that is what we see. Muslims really are very happy and healthy. We look at their faces and see that they are radiant and in peace, and that their hearts are at ease. They feel the joy of being with God forever.

Love is the most beautiful aspect of the world. It is the most beautiful aspect of life. That is because love is interconnected with faith. Those who love God would also love people as His manifestations.

The love of God brings relief to people. If the love of God is explained in a country day in and day out, there will be abundance and plenty in that country and their lives would be like Heaven. Otherwise they would all be distressed.

God creates angels, but they are made to love Him. God commands man to love Him without seeing Him. "There will be unbelievers, there will be hypocrites, there will be irreligious people. You will suffer, you will patiently endure difficulties and you will love Me with a profound love. Then I will love you very much," God says. God loves the angels, but they are incomparable with man.

Almighty God says, “I want to see your love for Me.” God wants to have people who He loves and He wants there to be those who love Him. God has everything. He is Omnipotent and He wants to have people who love Him.

For perfect love, there should be perfect morality. For perfect morality, there should be perfect fear of God. All of them are related with love and aim love.

What God is interested in particular is the love felt for Him. One should be madly in love with God. God approves the love one feels with his faith in the Unseen, without losing the free will of his mind.

Eat, drink and travel; anyone can do that. There will be hardships, there will be illnesses, there will be difficulties, there will be troubles and scourges and you will love God deeply just the same against all odds. That is what Almighty God loves the most.

God wants love to be complete. Love God asks for would be formed when people love God in all those troubles, all those problems, that would be the love God asks for. That would be real love.

God says 'You are to love for Me, you are to love Me. You are to love Me to death.' And so we love our Lord to death. God wants to be loved purely and wholeheartedly. God is entitled to such love.

God wants an insanely deep love. God is very meticulous about love. In God, there is a complete manifestation of a lover. He ruins those who betray His love but He loves those who respond to His love with love for all eternity.

God does not want us to be alone. God wants us to be in love with Him. He loves loving, He loves to be loved, He loves beauty.

If you regard everything as a manifestation of God, He will make you love them, and they will love you. It is God Who brings that love into being: There is no other kind of love. Love of God is the only love.

You cannot love someone with mere flesh and blood. If you look at things on the basis of flesh and blood, they will smother you, and nothing will come of it. You must love the manifestation and spirit of God in the other person.

People keep asking why do troubles find them? If you feel thankful, troubles would not follow you. But if you fail to do that, you would be deserving of those troubles. Muslims are of course tried, but would not be plagued.

A Heaven resided in by robots is not an environment God likes, God doesn't want robots. One who hasn't proven his loyalty, his patience or his courage wouldn't have a feeling of self-worth in that sense. That means he couldn't regard himself as worthy and beautiful if he didn't make sacrifices, if he didn't act generously, if he didn't strive on the path of God, if he didn't do anything to show his love.
