Why does the QURAN NEVER TELL YOU TO LOVE ANYONE FOR ANY REASON?

You need aya! ..ok.. then please go through the following verses from the holy Quran and see whether it is teaching  LOVE or HATE?\n\n*Towards Parents:\n\nWe have enjoined on man kindness to his parents: In pain did his mother bear him, and in pain did she give him birth. The carrying of the (child) to his weaning is (a period of) thirty months. At length, when he reaches the age of full strength and attains forty years, he says, "O my Lord! Grant me that I may be grateful for Thy favour which Thou has bestowed upon me, and upon both my parents, and that I may work righteousness such as Thou mayest approve; and be gracious to me in my issue. Truly have I turned to Thee and truly do I bow (to Thee) in Islam."  46: 15\n\nAnd, out of kindness, lower to them the wing of humility, and say: "My Lord! bestow on them thy Mercy even as they cherished me in childhood."   17:24\n\nAnd even if thou hast to turn away from them in pursuit of the Mercy from thy Lord which thou dost expect, yet speak to them a word of easy kindness.  17: 28\n\n*Towards one’s wife:\n\nAnd among His Signs is this, that He created for you mates from among yourselves, that ye may dwell in tranquility with them, and He has put love and mercy between your (hearts): verily in that are Signs for those who reflect. 30 :21\n\nAnd give the women (on marriage) their dower as a free gift; but if they, of their own good pleasure, remit any part of it to you, Take it and enjoy it with right good cheer. 4: 4\n\nO ye who believe! Ye are forbidden to inherit women against their will. Nor should ye treat them with harshness, that ye may Take away part of the dower ye have given them,-except where they have been guilty of open lewdness; on the contrary live with them on a footing of kindness and equity. If ye take a dislike to them it may be that ye dislike a thing, and Allah brings about through it a great deal of good. 4: 19\n\n*Towards one’s children:\n\nKill not your children for fear of want: We shall provide sustenance for them as well as for you. Verily the killing of them is a great sin. 17:31\n\nAllah (thus) directs you as regards your Children's (Inheritance): to the male, a portion equal to that of two females: if only daughters, two or more, their share is two-thirds of the inheritance; if only one, her share is a half. For parents, a sixth share of the inheritance to each, if the deceased left children; if no children, and the parents are the (only) heirs, the mother has a third; if the deceased Left brothers (or sisters) the mother has a sixth. (The distribution in all cases ('s) after the payment of legacies and debts. Ye know not whether your parents or your children are nearest to you in benefit. These are settled portions ordained by Allah. and Allah is All-knowing, All-wise. 4:11\n\nLost are those who slay their children, from folly, without knowledge, and forbid food which Allah hath provided for them, inventing (lies) against Allah. They have indeed gone astray and heeded no guidance. 6:141\nTowards Needy & wayfarer:\nSo give what is due to kindred, the needy, and the wayfarer. That is best for those who seek the Countenance, of Allah, and it is they who will prosper. 30 :38\n\nWhat Allah has bestowed on His Messenger (and taken away) from the people of the townships,- belongs to Allah,- to His Messenger and to kindred and orphans, the needy and the wayfarer; In order that it may not (merely) make a circuit between the wealthy among you. So take what the Messenger assigns to you, and deny yourselves that which he withholds from you. And fear Allah. for Allah is strict in Punishment.  59: 7\n\n*Towards Relatives & Orphans:\n\nBut if at the time of division other relatives, or orphans or poor, are present, feed them out of the (property), and speak to them words of kindness and justice.4: 8\n\nThey ask thee what they should spend (In charity). Say: Whatever ye spend that is good, is for parents and kindred and orphans and those

Some of the people who have replied to your question have never read the Quran.  The main portion of the text on Jihad is to fight and die for Islam.  Muhammed who dictated the Quran was a complex man.  He was gentle and loving to little children (of the Muslim faith) and yet he preached Jihad for the sake of Allah.  Many Suras of the Quran are frightening and if Christians and Jews read them they would be very concerned. When I studied the portion of the Quran regarding Jihad I was shaken because I never knew what Muhammed had in mind for the Muslim faith. Now I know why so many Jihadists want to give up their lives for Allah.  Heaven awaits them with 72 virgins and other carnal delights.  We will be at war with Islam within 5-6 years, if not sooner.

Because the Bible states that "God is love". If God didn't love someone, God would cease to be God.

Keep up the good work... \nYou know, they never understand, except the chosen ones...\nDon't get angry for what they will be telling you...\n\nYes, There are many other miracles in the Holy Qur'an... This is just one of them...

I never understood why 2 men (or 2 women) who love eachother and are not hurting others should be punished by death BUT Muslims can highly exalt a man (even above Jesus) who married a 9 year old girl. Don't you think a grown man HURTS a 9 year old girl? That would be the one thing that would prevent me from ever being Muslim if there was ever a chance for it in the first place.

Listening to something about the quran for me would be a complete waste of time.  I am a Christian.  My God (you know, the REAL one?) didn't tell us to kill others based on there religion.  Not all muslims are terrorists, but, unfortunately, all terrorists ARE muslim.  It is not my place to accept them, nor to understand them.  They are the wrong doers.  They are the ones that will burn in hell for eternity!  I wish I could see the looks on there faces when they get to hell, and instead of virgins, they have demons!

:}\nDoesn’t Islam teach that any believer who gives his life in jihad (holy war) has an automatic right to eternal life in the hereafter?\nHavn't Islamic religious leaders called on faithful Muslims to commit such acts.\nDoesn’t the Quran command participation in the holy wars of faithful Muslims?

According to Islam Rules and Ethical Values Not a Muslim man/guy/boy and a Woman/girl/lady cannot marry to the woman or man respectively except the Muslims/Chiristianor Israel if any Muslim Violate this Rule It would be considered as a sin for whole life So be care ful ....This is nature's Rule, Muslims Should Follow this rule to be calm and to pass their life in peaceful manner\nNote: This Rule is only For Muslim  Not for Other Followers so dont considr it Extremism or fundamentalism

Have you noticed that asking for human beings to simply love one another has caused other people to hate you?  You're going to get yourself killed by one of those "peace-loving" religious types if you are not careful.  Look at the examples set by other prophets; they get killed for saying let's be nice to each other.  Even if you are successful in bringing about world peace, some religious nut is going to say that you are the "anti-christ" and kill you.  The religious world does not want to hear your message.  The rest of us are already trying to live it.  Thanks for the good thoughts and try not to get killed for them.

It does not.  The only time would be if someone wages war on you, then you can kill them.  But even in the act of self-defense, against a believer or non-believer, a Muslim has to do everything they can in order to preserve the life of their opponent.\n\nThe Quran states that killing one human is like killing all of humanity, whereas saving one life is like saving all of humanity.  Believe it or not, humanity includes both believers and non-believers.\n\nPlease check your sources next time before making uninformed remarks.

First of all Love makes up reasons to be together, Love longs for each other, Love wants to spend every momet together, Love sacrifices for the other, but do not get it wrong sacrifice has got to be a two-way street, and when love can not be together the one who is away should express it in words...Love poets know this truth, but for me I look into chapter 13 of Corinthians verses 1-7 in the Bible and any Bible will give you a standard on what the world seems to lack so much of Agape Love . Please do not mistake "SEX" for "LOVE" melwynmel@yahoo.com

It's very comforting to say that "God loves us all so much that He will save us all"; or "He hates the sin, but loves the sinner"; or "God is love, and will not send anyone to hell."  \n     \n     I must admit, it is nice to think of God's love being so infinitely great that all will ultimately be saved.  Hell is a terrible place and I don't want anyone to go there.   But it does not matter what I think.  It matters what the Bible says.\n     God is love (1 John 4:8), but God also punishes the sinner and hates all who do iniquity.  God is not one sided.  He is not simply an infinitely loving God.  He is also infinitely just.  He must deal with sin.  He must punish the sinner.\n\n Well? Does God hate anyone?  The answer is yes.\n\n      Psalm 5:5, "The boastful shall not stand before Thine eyes; Thou dost hate all who do iniquity,\n\n      Psalm 11:5, "The Lord tests the righteous and the wicked, and the one who loves violence His soul hates."\n\n      Lev. 20:23, "Moreover, you shall not follow the customs of the nation which I shall drive out before you, for they did all these things, and therefore I have abhorred them."\n\n      Prov. 6:16-19, "There are six things which the Lord hates, yes, seven which are an abomination to Him: 17 Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, 18 A heart that devises wicked plans, feet that run rapidly to evil,\nA false witness who utters lies, and one who spreads strife among brothers.\n\n\n      Hosea 9:15, "All their evil is at Gilgal; indeed, I came to hate them there!  Because of the wickedness of their deeds I will drive them out of My house! I will love them no more; All their princes are rebels." \n\n     Are these verses hard to read?  \nDo they make you feel uncomfortable?  \nDoes this sound harsh?\nMaybe you don't think your sins are that big a deal. God does.\nGod hates sin.  But, He does not punish sin.  He punishes the sinner.  Sin cannot be tied up and thrown into a fire.  It cannot be put in a box or glued to a stick.  \nIt is rebellion.  It is rebellion in the heart.  It is breaking God's Law.\n\nSo what standard will God use to decide our guilt or innocence?\nThe 10 Commandments. The bible says that they are like a mirror to show us what we are...horrible sinners to the core.\nWhen we see the standard; "Don't lie, Don't steal, Honor your parents, Love God with all of your heart soul mind and strength".\n\nGo to this website to take the test and find out how you'll do on the day of judgment...\n\nwww.needgod.com\n\nbob

Thanks for this new miracle of The holy Quran.\nBut these passive answers(without contemplation) make me remember this verse:\nALLAH says"AND INDEED WE HAVE PUT FORTH EVERY KIND OF EXAMPLE IN THIS QURAN,FOR HUMANKIND.BUT,MAN IS EVER MORE QUARRELSOME THAN ANYTHING"HOLY QURAN\nI think the ppl should be more open minded.The holy Quran contains a lot of miracles,indeed it is miracle itself.ALLAH illustrates the life in this Quran.Without this Holy Quran,i would be lost!!!!!!Alhamdullah for this method of life.

in 6:151 and 17:31 in the Quran, people are prohibited from killing their own children out of fear of poverty and are also prohibited of killing ANY SOUL wrongfully...\n\nany person who has to make such a difficult decision should take a good look inside and find out reallt why would they want to do this. if they are faced with an unwanted pregnancy and have no justified reason (health issues for example) to commit abortion, then i guess  they should resign to the will of GOD... If they decide to be on GOD's path, then He will be on their side

The quran is the natural guide to the way of life and understanding. It is the Standard Operating Procedure for mankind to follow, unlike other happy-go-lucky religions where you just have to believe and automatically u're in heaven. It is a book open to the entire Universe and therefore it's message is universal.\nevery single word is perfectly balanced in such a way that no human will be able to ever duplicate.\nIn it are signs and wonders to the creation of the universe which have been recently proved by modern science such as the expansion of the universe (...And Verily We are Expanding it) and embroyology which many modern day scientists are acknowledging. \nUnlike the bible, the quran asks you to verify SCIENTIFICALLY its verses and seek the truth for yourself.

if you have no mercy for others than you have no respect for God. God teaches us to have infinate love for everyone and to overlook her/his faults. God is All-Knowing and therefore is capable of judging God's creation accurately. so we can't judge one another. There is a Hidden Word that says "love Me that I may love thee, if thou lovest Me not, My love can in no wise reach thee..." so yes, i agree that God will not have mercy on those who have not shown mercy to others.

Of course it doesn’t make sense. “Love your enemies” is an absurdity. If you love them they can’t be your enemy. What the confused writer was probably trying to say is to love those who view (((you))) as their enemy, and this would make some sense.\n\nAnd not to mention that the writer’s god is a hypocrite since he sends his enemies to hell.
