Abstract

The main issue of the article is the analysis of God's love for creatures and the consequences of the divine seal. Although it is intellectually impossible to apply the attribute of Divine Love to God, it has received less attention in Islamic theology. God's love has been delivered to His servants through His general and special mercy to creatures, divine guidance, God's good will, but love in its true sense and not its accessories, originates from God's love for Himself, which has all the perfections of existence. God is in love with himself because of his knowledge of himself and His existence, and beings who are related to Him are also loved by God. Our special love for God's love is the combination of creativity and creation with God's love, compassion and empathy for others, and the application of God's love is one of the features and essentials of this love. This article deals with the semantics of divine love and the analysis of its consequences with a descriptive-analytical method.
