Love in Islam has an all-encompassing, comprehensive and sublime meaning, rather than being restricted to one form only, which is between the two opposite genders of man and woman.
Islamic Love Quotes –Muslims are taught to love and show affection to one another at all times, regardless of race, language, religion, skin colour, gender or anything for that matter. By the words of Allah SWT, in the Holy Quran, that love is paramount to our existence on earth and we should treat everyone with compassion and mercy.
The Concept of True Love in Islam
In a hadith (narration) in which Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
لَا تَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ حَتَّى تُؤْمِنُوا وَلَا تُؤْمِنُوا حَتَّى تَحَابُّوا أَوَلَا أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَى شَيْءٍ إِذَا فَعَلْتُمُوهُ تَحَابَبْتُمْ أَفْشُوا السَّلَامَ بَيْنَكُمْ
You will not enter Paradise until you believe and you will not believe until you love each other. Shall I show you something that, if you did, you would love each other? Spread peace between yourselves.

In another hadith with Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:

Verily, Allah will say on the Day of Resurrection: Where are those who love each other for the sake of My glory? Today, I will shelter them in My shade, a Day when there is no shade but Mine.

And another – Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
وَأَحِبَّ لِلنَّاسِ مَا تُحِبُّ لِنَفْسِكَ تَكُنْ مُؤْمِنًا وَأَحْسِنْ جِوَارَ مَنْ جَاوَرَكَ تَكُنْ مُسْلِمًا
