The Prophet told his companions as narrated authentically in al-Targheeb (3/210): This is manifested through our practice of the concept of 'rahmah' which can be translated as love, mercy, compassion or forgiveness. This is first and foremost done by promoting the love of God amongst our fellow man. Islam enjoins the general concept of love between mankind as well. This well known concept of the purpose of life according to Islam perfectly reflects the meaning of the man's love for God. We do this hoping that our beloved Creator will be pleased with us and yearning to be with Him for eternity in the bliss of the hereafter. We are drawn to a realization of God's love to us and leading a life of gratitude, which reflects our deep adoration and devotion to God. Life is all about a test of realization and action. This is exactly what the English dictionary has to say about the meaning of a person's love for God. Similarly, when we look at the Arabic word muslim, we find that it is a person who is devoted to Allah, submitting to His will. He does all of that even though we constantly break His commandments. These characteristics of Allah refer to His countless blessings, bounties and forgiveness He has bestowed upon us without us deserving anything. These two descriptions are the most commonly used words by which Allah describes Himself in the Qur'an. This verse is often translated as 'in the Name of God, the Benevolent and Merciful.' This fits the exact meaning of the definition for the love of God found in the English dictionary. As a matter of fact, all chapters of the Qur'an except one begin with the phrase 'in the name of God' who is described as Al-Rahman (the Benevolent) and Al-Raheem (the Merciful). When reading the Qur'an, anyone can easily recognize the emphasis put on God's love, compassion, graciousness, mercy and forgiveness.

These two definitions precisely describe the Islamic concept of the relation between God and man.
