Love in the Holy Quran

H.R.H. Ghazi bin Muhammad | 4.62 | 28 ratings and reviews

Ranked #98 in Quran

The author treats, in a simple and accessible style with reader-friendly and teaching-friendly features, not only of love of God and love of the neighbour, but also of family love; friendship; the stages of falling in love; sexual love; extra-marital love; beauty; taste and much more, all based entirely on the Holy Quran. At least one verse from every chapter and over one fifth of the total text of the Holy Quran is cited. It is written and structured both to be read in its totality or as individual stand-alone chapters to be sampled at will. This work is thus essential reading not only for Muslims and those interested in Islam and the Holy Quran, but for all those interested in the secrets and mysteries of love as such.
