LOTS, Drawing of. There are two words used to express drawing of lots—maisir (ميسر) and (قرعة) qurʿah. The former is used for games of chance, which are condemned in the Qurʾān ([Sūrahs ii. 216]; [v. 92]); the latter the casting of lots in the division of land or property. (Hidāyah, vol. iv. p. 17.)
LOVE. The words used in the Qurʾān for love and its synonyms are wudd (ود), ḥubb (حب), maḥabbah (محبه), and mawaddah (مودة).
(1) Wudd. [Sūrah xix. 96]: “Verily those who believe and act aright, to them the Merciful One will give love.”
(2) Ḥubb. [Sūrah v. 59]: “God will bring a people whom He will love, and who will love him.”
[Sūrah ii. 160]: “They love them (idols) as they should love God, whilst those who believe love God more.”
[Sūrah lxxxix. 21]: “Ye love wealth with a complete love.”
[Sūrah xii. 30]: “He (Joseph) has infatuated her (Zulaik͟hah) with love.”
(3) Maḥabbah. [Sūrah xx. 39]: “For on thee (Moses) have I (God) cast my love.”
(4) Mawaddah. [Sūrah iv. 75]: “As though there were no friendship between you and him.”
[Sūrah v. 85]: “Thou will find the nearest in friendship to those who believe to be those who say We are Christians.”
