(only then) "llah will love you and forgive you your faults. "nd "llah is #ost Forgiving* the #er%iful. (+urah "l, ) ran* - .1) Fro this we learn that the Holy Prophets(pbuh) obedien%e should be one of inner love* not of ere show* fear or %ovetousness. This type of obedien%e is shown by hypo%rites as well. )t is for this reason that this dis%ussion is %o en%ed with love and ter inated on love. Further ore* we also learn that our worships and faith are both based on sin%erity and show and the Holy Prophets beloved things* personality* is the %ornerstone of this faith. Hen%e whatever degree of obedien%e one shows to the Holy Prophet(pbuh)* the sa e will be the type of love a%hieved. The giver is one but the re%eivers are different. The power of ele%tri%ity is the sa e bu the strength will depend on the wattage of the ele%tri% la p in use.
