Do You Want Allah (SWT) to Love You? Then develop the following qualities!

Do You Want Allah (SWT) to Love You? Then develop the
following qualities!
Allah loves Muhsineen (Good Doers) [2:195, 3:134,
3:148, 5:13, 5:93]
Allah loves Tawwabeen (Those who turn to
rightfulness) [2:222]
Allah loves Mutahhareen (Those who keep their bodies
free from filth) [2:222, 9:108]
Allah loves Muttaqeen (Those who guard themselves
against evil) [3:76, 9:4, 9:7]
Allah loves Sabireen (Being Patient) [3:146]
Allah loves Mutawakkileen (Those who put their trust
in Allah) [3:159]
Allah loves Muqsiteen (Those who act equitably and
justly) [5:42, 49:9, 60:8]
It is noteworthy that although one of the things
attributed to Allah (SWT) in Islam is the wrath
(Ghadab), its application is much more limited
compared to His mercifulness and love for His
creatures. Indeed, His wrath is only for those who
deliberately disbelieve or commit evil actions.
Remember Allah (SWT) is also just. Hence evildoers
and sinners must have their share of punishment and
the virtuous, His bounties and favors.
Wrath or anger is also out of His love and mercy . If
His love or mercy did not exist He would not care at
all. It is like a father who becomes angry with his
son when he does something wrong, because he has
care and concern for his son and his entire family,
because he wants his son to correct his behaviour
and set a lesson for other children not to copy that
wrong act.
A rational and intelligent love is the one that
involves the good and interest of whole mankind and
not a limited number of people. One can do many
things to bring good to individuals or groups which
bring evil to society or mankind as a whole. For
example, if a Judge releases a guilty criminal he
might have done something good to that person, but
a great harm has been inflicted upon the society and
the ideal of justice. One should not let his
affections hide the truth. If our beloved child needs
injection or operation we should not let our love and
passions for him to prevent us from doing so. This
is exactly how wrath (Ghadab) of Allah (SWT) acts
out of care and concern.
