Allah does not love (1) the disbelievers

                                                                                         

The meanings of verses 3:30-32 of the Noble Quran:

Verse 3:30 says that: On the Day of Judgment,
When every man will find himself confronted with all that he/she has done,
Everything of good and of evil is written in its register.
Every soul will wish there were a great distance between it and its evil deeds.
The Lord warns you of His Self.
Allah warns all of you to be beware of Him.
And Allah is full of pity for His bondmen.
He is full of pity for the believers.
-----------
When they said, ‘We only worship idols out of our love for God, that they might bring us close to Him’,
Verse 3:31 was revealed:
Say, O Muhammad, ‘If you love Allah, follow me, and Allah will love you,
Meaning that He will reward you, and forgive your sins;
Allah is Forgiving, as regards the sins, committed previously, by one who now follows the Prophet Muhammad; Merciful, to him.
This verse was revealed about the Jews who claimed they were the children of Allah and His beloved ones.
When this verse was revealed one of the hypocrites said: “Muhammad is commanding us to love him as the Christians loved Jesus”, and the Jews said: “Muhammad wants us to take him as a compassionate Lord, just as the Christians took Jesus as a compassionate Lord”.
-----------
Consequently, Allah revealed (verse 3:32) about their comments:
Say: Obey Allah regarding what He has obligated and obey the Messenger in his practices.
But if they turn away from obeying Allah and Muhammad
Lo! Allah does not love the disbelievers, meaning that He will chastise them.
This indicate that anyone denies Allah and His Prophet Muhammad is a disbeliever!
