Vad har Koranen att säga om kärlek?

Ofta hör man en uppfattning om att Bibeln och Koranen är lika vad gäller vem Gud är, och att det bara beror på hur man tolkar skrifterna som har betydelse. Visst kan man tolka olika, men om man väljer att betona vissa skriftställen mer än andra, så har det ju ändå betydelse vilka skriftställen som överhuvudtaget finns nedskrivna att lyfta fram och grunda sin tolkning på.

Nedanstående lista visar de koranverser där ordet kärlek (love) förekommer (träffarna är angivna med fetstil). Den engelska översättningen är Abdullah Yusuf Alis översättning, som bland muslimer allmänt anses vara den bästa och mest trogna översättningen till engelska. http://www.gluefox.com/orel/koranlove.shtm.
