Does the Koran say love thy brother as thy self as the holy bible does?

Answer 1

One of the hardest thing is trying to understand another culture by the understanding of the language of your own.

Does the Koran say Love your brother as thy self. The answer is no, not in those words.

However, the Hadith has a similar message. The Hadith is used in Islam to understand the meaning other Koran

" No one of you is a believer until he desires for his brother that which he desires for himself. "

Sunnah "Not one of you is a believer until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself." Islam. Forty Hadith of an-Nawawi 13 Mohammed is said to have said "Seek for mankind that of which you are desirous for yourself, that you may be a believer; treat well as a neighbor the one who lives near you, that you may be a Muslim [one who submits to God]." and "That which you want for yourself, seek for mankind." Sukhanan-i-Muhammad (Teheran, 1938) [English Title: Conversations of Muhammad]

Donaldson Dwight M. 1963. Studies in Muslim Ethics, p.82. London: S.P.C.K I am not a Muslim. Yet, I believe most Muslims would say that unless you can love you cannot possibly be a Muslim. However, like every religion including Christianity there are those who will interpret things there way. Some see Jihad a physical war rather than a spiritual war within ones self to submit to the rule of ALLAH.

If you look at Christian history you will be shocked at the incredible cruelty and bloodshed it has caused in what is said to have been in the name of Jesus.

Yet, Like you I would say that one cannot be a real Christian if you cannot love. In this we share with the Muslims. (Peace be unto Both).

Answer 3

"And worship Allah and do not ascribe any partner to Him … the neighbor who is near of kin, the neighbor who is a stranger … Indeed Allah does not like anyone who is a swaggering braggart" (Qur'an: Chapter 4, Verse 36).

Allah, the Exalted, says:

"Worship Allah and join none with Him (in worship); and do good to parents, kinsfolk, orphans, Al-Masakin (the poor), the neighbour who is near of kin, the neighbour who is a stranger, the companion by your side, the wayfarer (you meet), and those (slaves) whom your right hands possess.'' (4:36)
