Love Stories from the Qur'an by Yahya Adel Ibrahim

All of the love stories from the Quran have the connotation of birr, of protection, of qawwam, of endearment, of sacrifice, of acceptance, of allowing redemption and return after sin, of opening what others closed and uplifting those who others pushed down, to be the opposite of what is conventional, to be the oxymoron of the sinfulness that others display, and be the righteous rain of barakah into the heart and mind of those who are distant form Allah.
