Loving Rivals To The God Almighty

 

Love with any other than God (L-190)

وَمِنَ النّاسِ مَن يَتَّخِذُ مِن دونِ اللَّهِ أَندادًا يُحِبّونَهُم كَحُبِّ اللَّهِ ۖ وَالَّذينَ آمَنوا أَشَدُّ حُبًّا لِلَّهِ ۗ165a. 

165a.  Wa  minannaasi  many-yattakhizu  min-  duuNillaahi  ‘andaadany-yuhibbuunahum  ka- hubBillaah.  Wallaziina  ‘aa- manuuu  ‘ashaddu  hubbal-Lillaah.

165a.  Yet among the people are those who take other than God as equals to Him. They love them as the love of God. But those who believe have greater love for God.

In the earlier verses, God has described after telling about His being Deity, Beneficent and Merciful that He has created the entire Universe for fulfilling the necessities of the human beings, that is to say; the earth, the skies, the day, the night, the boats, the rain, the produces of the earth, the cattle, the quadruped, the air and the clouds etc. the mankind reaps advantage from all such things, fulfills his requirements and lives a comfortable life. He must be grateful to God after obtaining these blessings and favors.

Repentance! Some people forget God instead of being grateful to Him. They place others at the Dignity of God Who bestowed to them His blessings. They make them their worshipped, settle them as His partners and disclose their love and faith for them which were required to be kept only for God. There is recitation regarding such people in this verse.

Some stupid and un-foreseeing people include idols, demi-Gods and spiritual guides in partnership with God and consider them powerful, that is to say; the Christians worship Jesus and Mary (Peace be upon them) along-with God. The Japanese consider their king as from the dynasty of God “I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast”.

God commanded: The real love must be only for Him Who is the Creator, the Master and the Worshipped. It is the Sign of a perfect Believer that he would have kept the most beloved to God; he should strengthen excessive love for Him (God) in his heart.

It has come in the Sayings of the Last Messenger, Muhammad (ﷺ), “The Believer is that who has friendship and enmity for God. The individual who is beloved of God and loves Him, he keeps only that person his friend, who loves Him, and with whom God is angry, he considers him his enemy”.
