Love, law and equilibrium

Abstract

Allah, the Omnipotent, states in the Qur’an: a) “Every soul shall taste of death; unto us you shal be returned” (29/al-Ankabūt:/57); b) “…God being well-pleased with them and they well-pleased with Him. That is the migty triumph” (5/al-Māʾida:119); c) “Prosperous are the believers…” (23/al-Muʾminūn:5). In Islamic Law God, the Omnipotent, is the Lawmaker and the Supreme Judge; and the believers, through sheer love of God, attain His pleasure; and in consequence, they are bestowed with prosperity and equilibrium.
