The Pillars of Faith (Love)

Knowledge is a necessary condition of faith; Faith cannot be obtained without knowledge. In addition to knowledge, faith requires love and inner tension. From the point of view of the Holy Qur'an, faith is a natural entity, and man cannot believe in God and submit to His commands and prohibitions with things that are incompatible with his nature. Therefore, faith cannot be achieved without love, and therefore believers have the greatest love for the Creator of existence. Faith has levels. The strongest grip of faith is that love, and hatred should be only for God and not for personal gain. This article is a commentary on the pillars of faith, especially love, by the late teacher Allameh Misbah Yazdi.
