Surah Al-Baqarah, Verse 165
وَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ مَن يَتَّخِذُ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ أَندَادًۭا يُحِبُّونَهُمْ كَحُبِّ ٱللَّهِ ۖ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ أَشَدُّ حُبًّۭا لِّلَّهِ ۗ وَلَوْ يَرَى ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوٓا۟ إِذْ يَرَوْنَ ٱلْعَذَابَ أَنَّ ٱلْقُوَّةَ لِلَّهِ جَمِيعًۭا وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ شَدِيدُ ٱلْعَذَابِ
"And [yet], among the people are those who take other than Allah as equals [to Him]. They love them as they [should] love Allah. But those who believe are stronger in love for Allah. And if only they who have wronged would consider [that] when they see the punishment, [they will be certain] that all power belongs to Allah and that Allah is severe in punishment."

اور بعض لوگ ایسے ہیں جو غیر خدا کو شریک (خدا) بناتے اور ان سے خدا کی سی محبت کرتے ہیں۔ لیکن جو ایمان والے ہیں وہ تو خدا ہی کے سب سے زیادہ دوستدار ہیں۔ اور اے کاش ظالم لوگ جو بات عذاب کے وقت دیکھیں گے اب دیکھ لیتے کہ سب طرح کی طاقت خدا ہی کو ہے۔ اور یہ کہ خدا سخت عذاب کرنے والا ہے

True believers are strongest in their love for Allah, which anchors life with purpose.
