The Koran on Love

Allah (God) loves those who love Him

Love quotes:
30:21 And among His wonders is this: He creates for you mates out of your own kind. Asad(30,15) so that you might incline towards them, and He engenders love and tenderness between you: in this, behold, there are messages indeed for people who think!

10 other quotes (in English, sorry) from the Koran on love:

God loves
1. doers of good.
2. those who turn to Him in repentance
3. those who keep themselves pure
4. those who place their trust in Him
5. all who purify themselves.
6. those who act equitably
7. [only] those who fight in His cause in [solid] ranks
8. those who are conscious of Him

9. Al-Baqara (The Cow) passage talks about those who are conscious of Him:

(2:177) True piety does not consist in turning your faces towards the east or the west but truly pious is he who believes in God, and the Last Day; and the angels, and revelation, and the prophets; and spends his substance - however much he himself may cherish - it - upon his near of kin, and the orphans, and the needy, and the wayfarer, and the beggars, and for the freeing of human beings from bondage; and is constant in prayer, and renders the purifying dues; and [truly pious are] they who keep their promises whenever they promise, and are patient in misfortune and hardship and in time of peril: it is they that have proved themselves true, and it is they, they who are conscious of God. (Asad)

10. The Koran shows how the poor can find happiness through love:

Al-Hashr (The Gathering)
(59:9) And [it shall be offered, too, unto the poor from among] those who, before them, had their abode in this realm and in faith - [those] who love all that come to them in search of refuge, and who harbour in their hearts no grudge for whatever the others may have been given, but rather give them preference over themselves, even though poverty be their own lot: for, such as from their own covetousness are saved - it is they, they that shall attain to a happy state! (Asad)
