Re: Define Divine Love
1 - God has rights on us because He is our Creator so let’s not forget this. He doesn’t need us rather we need Him. He knows best what is the state of mother theresa but yes generally speaking we believe that whoever didn’t die upon Islam will go to hell. And I think we should worry about ourselves more than fate of other people.
2 - “didn’t worship God the way God wanted her to” - you make it sound like as if that’s no big deal. It’s like saying how could I get a ticket for my bad driving when I didn’t follow the rules as they were prescribed. Belief and actions work together!
That’s enough for my mabo jambo philosophy, give a quick read to followings, my favourites (in order):
The Reality of Tawheed
Ibn Al-Qayyim Speaks on Love
Four Kinds of Love](http://www.islamicawakening.com/viewarticle.php?articleID=151&)
Worship is love and veneration
as the saying goes “to each its own” but there are plenty of stuff by “wahabis” on this topic from which one can find sakinah in his/her heart after reading it: early ones like Hasan al-Basri, Abdullah ibn Mubarak etc and latter ones like Ibn al-Qayyim, ibn Rajab al-hanabli etc.
that’s just Hamza Yusuf’s erroneous understanding of al-wala wal-barra and Islam is free from it, wa allhamdulillah.
