God of Love: A Guide to the Heart of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam
£14.20
God of Love is Mirabai Starr s passionate and personal exploration of the interconnected wisdom of the three Abrahamic faiths. She shares an overview of essential teachings, stories of saints and spiritual masters, prophetic calls for peae and justice, and for the first time in print, deeply engaging narratives from her own spiritual experiences. She guides readers to recognize the teachings and practices that unify rather than divide the three religions, and sheds light on the interspiritual perspective, which celebrates the Divine in all paths. It is Mirabai s hope that this book will serve as a reminder than a dedication to lovingkindness is the highest expression of faith for all three religions.

Good. Blend of all religions.

The one Almighty God of Abraham is not Allah, the one pagan god of Islam.
In Arabic and the entire Qur’an, the title of Almighty God is Ilah, and Allah is ‘the god’
The names of Almighty God in the Qur’an are Ar Rahman, the Beneficent, the Most Merciful, the Most Gracious.
Qur’an 41:84 It is He Who is the only God in the heaven and the only God on the earth.
Ibn Kathir: This means He is the God of those who are in the heaven and the God of those on earth.
Qur’an 43:84 It is He Who is Ilah, God in the heaven and on the earth.
Qur’an 19:65 Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, so worship Him and abide patiently in His worship. Do you know of any other with His Name?
Ibn Kathir: Ibn Abbas says, ‘There is no one named Ar-Rahman (the Most Beneficent) other than Him, Blessed and Exalted is He. Most Holy is His Name.’
See Quran chapters 19, 21, 25, 26, 36, 37, 41, 43, 67, etc.
Allah is always and only named Allah in Arabic and English.
Qur’an 43:84 It is He Who is Ilah, God in the heaven and on the earth.
Qur’an 6:3 And He is Allah in the heavens and in the earth.
Ibn Abbas: He is the One who is called Allah in the heavens and on the earth.
The Shahada, the Muslim pledge of faith, denies God:
La ilaha ill-Allah, there is no God/god but Allah.
The sentence comprises a denial and an affirmation.
Negation: ‘La ilah’ negates all forms of God or god.
Affirmation: ‘illAllah’ affirms that there is only Allah.
Before you can say ‘I believe in Allah’(illa Allah) you have to reject or disbelieve in any other god or God (La illaha).

Wonderful book so beautiful a must read for anyone interested in spirituality
by Daniela Kocvarova
This book had landed on my Kindle thanks to a string of remarkable coincidences, and it touched me deeply. It’s not “about religions”, it’s singing out of their Heart. A book written not by a seeker but somebody who has found. Beautiful…
