Summary of A. Helwa's Secrets of Divine Love

By IRB Media

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

#1 Allah is the Creator of the universe and the light of the heavens and the earth. He is the One absolute, transcendent Reality that unites all differences in the ocean of His love. He is the light that inspires flowers to bloom.

#2 God is the source of all miracles, and He is always blessing us with them. He sees everything in existence with His perfect vision.

#3 The word Allah is the Arabic word for God. It is a proper name God has given himself, and it cannot be linguistically broken down. It is derived from ilah, which in Arabic means god, and when the definite article al is added to ilah it creates al-ilah, which translates to The God.

#4 We cannot express the eternal and transcendent nature of Allah with mortal tongues. We cannot cram infinity into the finite arms of 26 letters. Thus, we must humble ourselves and realize our inability to comprehend God’s infinite nature does not mean we cannot have a relationship with Him.

#1

Allah is the Creator of the universe and the light of the heavens and the earth. He is the One absolute, transcendent Reality that unites all differences in the ocean of His love. He is the light that inspires flowers to bloom.

#2

God is the source of all miracles, and He is always blessing us with them. He sees everything in existence with His perfect vision.

#3

The word Allah is the Arabic word for God. It is a proper name God has given himself, and it cannot be linguistically broken down. It is derived from ilah, which in Arabic means god, and when the definite article al is added to ilah it creates al-ilah, which translates to The God.

#4

We cannot express the eternal and transcendent nature of Allah with mortal tongues. We cannot cram infinity into the finite arms of 26 letters. Thus, we must humble ourselves and realize our inability to comprehend God’s infinite nature does not mean we cannot have a relationship with Him.

#5

God’s mercy, generosity, forgiveness, and grace are infinite. Do not ever think that because you cannot see God that He cannot see you. His love has no fences or borders. It has no conditions.

#6

When we realize that Allah loves us beyond what can be fathomed, and that He always knows what is best for us, our fear of the unknown transforms into faith. When we surrender to God’s will even when things don’t go as planned, we are still grateful because we know that God’s plan is greater than our greatest dreams.

#7

Allah calls us to himself through mercy and grace, which encompasses all of creation without discrimination. Ar-Rahman and Ar-Rahim are two of the many names for God’s mercy, love, and grace.

#8

The word rahman is used in Arabic to describe something that is excessive and extraordinary. It is used to say that something is happening in the present moment, and it is beyond what can be understood by the human mind.

#9

God’s mercy and justice go hand in hand. If God was only merciful, there would be no accountability on Earth, and no one would be able to receive his mercy. If God was only just, there would be no one to receive his mercy.

#10

Justice is giving you what you deserve. Mercy is when you are given more than you deserve or could ever earn. God is always looking to multiply the rewards for good deeds, and minimize the wrongs.

#11

We must remember that everything we do, say, or give to God already belongs to Him. God doesn’t owe us a single thing, but He constantly gives to us, breathes life into us, and loves and cares for us not because of who we are, but because of how merciful and loving He is.

#12

Allah’s love for us never diminishes. What changes is our ability to be receptive to divine love. When we sin, it is not that God hates us, but rather we who are closed off from experiencing His love.

#13

To know God, we must surrender our minds, everything we
