Where is the Love? October 11, 2009

SimplyIslam.sg is pleased to announce a special lecture entitled "Where is the Love?" by a visiting eminent scholar of Islam, Shaykh Hisham Kabbani. He is a world renowned Islamic scholar and author. He is also the Chairman of the Islamic Supreme Council of America and the As-Sunnah Foundation of America.

Islam is a religion of love and peace. The Prophet Muhammad came to guide people to love and to bring people to consciously manifest Allah’s (God’s) love in their lives. Love within the Islamic context refers to the strong affection and kindness arising out of kinship from one human being to another, as creations of Allah. It is a benevolent concern for the good of another creation of Allah. The Prophet Muhammad once said: “One who is the best of you in good conduct is nearest to me. A believer loves and is loved. There is no good in one who does not love and is not loved.”

Shaykh Hisham Kabbani will elucidate the concept of love in Islam and how the lack of it has created numerous humanitarian crises and genocide across the world – Jewish Holocaust, Bosnia/Srebrenica, Rwanda, Darfur and so on. Along with that, the lack of love has also brought other issues like hatred, animosity and discrimination. The speaker will discuss how love can help us resolve such problems of humanity. He will bring to light the level and depth of love expected of a Muslim towards Allah, the Prophet, parents, neighbours, other human beings, environment and other creations of Allah.
