This book was originally a widely-acclaimed PhD thesis at Al-Azhar University in Cairo, Egypt. In it, 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 Qur’an. At least one verse from every chapter—and over one fifth of the total text—of the Holy Qur’an 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 Qur’an, but for all those interested in the secrets and mysteries of love as such.

‘An outstanding work, worthy of praise and esteem for its method, its content and its language.’

H.E. Imam Prof. Dr. Ahmad Muhammad al-Tayyib,
Grand Imam of al-Azhar and Supervisor of the thesis at
al-Azhar University

 ‘What the world should understand when it hears the Qur’an.’

Sheikh Ali Gomaa, Grand Mufti of Egypt

 ‘[This book is] a journey into the depths of the soul. Its arena is the garden of love; its roots have been nourished by the water of wisdom; its branches extend into the sky of knowledge; its flowers are perfumed with the scent of the Sacred Law; its fruit is happiness.’

H.E. Sheikh Prof. Dr. Abdullah bin Mahfuz bin Bayyah,
President of the International Union of Muslim Scholars, and
President and Founder of the Global Centre for Renewal and Guidance

 ‘A masterwork of scholarship and of inspiration.’

Distinguished Senior Scholar, the Library of Congress

 ‘Prince Ghazi has produced a definitive study of love in the Qur’an.’

Professor David F. Ford
Regius Professor of Divinity, University of Cambridge, U.K.

 
‘Love in the Holy Qur’an is bound to become a classic.’
