[THREAD: REMOVING MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT LOVE FOR ALL, HATRED FOR NONE.]

Some individuals from among opponents of Jamma'at and those who are not informed in Islamic theology, falsely accuse the Promised Messiah (as),

As well as Jamma'at of not upholding its slogan of "Love For All, Hatred For None". They think that Jamma'at preaches that all humans should be loved & not hated on, including Jamma'at's opponents.

This cannot be further from the truth. The slogan of "Love For All, Hatred For None." does not mean that in ALL circumstances, every single human being deserves love, and no hatred.

Rather, "Love For All, Hatred For None", is our method of tabligh to every individual who we come face to face with which includes those who disagree with us.

((This thread will also briefly include both Urdu and Arabic references.))

Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih IV (rh) perfectly summarizes the motto in this audio clip in this beautiful answer on a question asked to him of how we can observe this motto even if it is hard to remove feelings of hatred for evil behavior: https://www.alislam.org/askislam/question/1059/

Every individual who we do tabligh to should be treated kindly. For instance, the Holy Prophet (saw) gave his soon to be enemies from among the chieftains of the Quraish a feast of food to convey the message of Islam to them.

This, alongside other acts that are praiseworthy by the Quran and Sunnah, should be done in tabligh. Does this mean, those who are bent on destroying our faith, & abusing the prophets & khulafa should be loved?

None of us praise the actions of anyone who does the above. The Quran is clear Allah loves not those who indulge in any of that despite being the Loving. Allah makes it clear in Al-Mumtahanah 60:2:

Moreover, Allah brings up the example of Hadhrat Ibrahim (as) in Al-Mumtahanah 60:5:

Let us now, cite some English, Urdu, and Arabic definitions of the word "love":

That's where the "hatred" ends. For those who accuse Jamma'at, of not upholding its own motto, they should understand the meaning of the word "love" based off the verdict of the Quran & the dictionaries I cited above.

None of these contradict our motto because the Qur'an again proves the significant Quranic theology behind the motto of "Love For All, Hatred For None" of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. Surah Al-Mumtahanah goes on to state:

Further more, Surah al-e-'Imran, presents the perfect testimony of Allah himself of how "Love For All, Hatred For None" works:

Now let us discuss "Hate". The following dictionaries define the word:

With the example of Hadhrat Ibrahim (as) as well as the People of the Book being said to be in this state until Judgement Day, there are some who will be at enmity and hatred with the believers until Judgement Day.

This is why for those, who in accordance with Divine revelation, the Holy Prophet (saw) & the Promised Messiah (as) prayed for enemies to be cursed because no other signs benefitted them. Otherwise, the Anbiya (as) have all taught "Love For All, Hatred For None".

For those who may not be as informed in Islamic theology, I am not saying we should act on our passions. Such behavior is forbidden. Rather, I am simply laying out the verdict of the Quran, Sunnah, as well as common sense.

The example of the Holy Prophet (saw) is enough for us to follow. Basically we must treat all those whom we do tabligh to with love and affection,but for those bent on destroying our faith, their behavior is hateful and should be avoided in our lives and let Allah deal with them

Otherwise, we must pray and wish for mercy for all of humanity.

To close this thread, I leave the Sunnah of the Holy Prophet (saw), an example for us to follow:
