And He is the Forgiving, the Loving” (Quran, 85:14).

“Al-Wadood” is an Attribute derived from the Arabic word “wudd” which conveys the meaning of love and friendship, and it applies to all avenues of goodness.

The person who tries to replicate his behavior due to the inspiration of this Attribute ought to know that one should love all those whom Allah loves such as the prophets, successors of the prophets, and the scholars. They should love everything Allah loves and with which He is pleased such as acts of righteousness, piety, good deeds and exemplary conduct with others.

Such a person should be compassionate towards all people: He loves to see the disobedient returning to their Lord obediently, the righteous remaining firm in their righteousness. He becomes compassionate towards all servants of Allah, forgiving those who abuse them, being kind to all people especially his family and kin. It is recorded that the holy Prophet has said to Imam `Ali, “If you wish to surpass those who are close to Allah, then join your ties with those who have cut them off from you, grant those who deprived you, and forgive those who wrong you.”
