In the Koran it is said: 'They love Him
and He loves them'--i.e., the bounty of love is one of the Divine bounties
which comes to man from God; just as the sun when it sends its rays to the
mirrors and thereby the mirrors are illumined; this effulgence and splendor are
from the bounty of the sun. Therefore, this love which is among the beloved is
a Divine bounty, a Godly splendor, an eternal manifestation and the power of
Divinity; it is perpetual.
