interesting question if somebody can understand ...

Peace all,
Everything ultimately does belong to Him. But then we have to think about human accomplishments and inventions that we have brought about ourselves. Such as money, coins, dollars, currency, etc., as you mentioned. Humankind created this. God did not. Money is not a natural creation. So then is money ours, a human invention, and something that we earn individually through jobs and careers, or is money His? I think this is where we have to classify the invention itself. Is the invention in question an extension of ourselves? Does it help us progress in a worldly way, a mental/personality way, or in a spiritual way? Does it not?
Allah takes credit for all inventions as it is He who teaches us

welcome back brothers and sisters...
your love for God is your property and thats an incredible property...
when u experience this u feel unlimited relaxation/peace of heart..2165 And from among the people are some who take other than God as equals to Him, they love them as they love God; but those who believe love God more strongly; and when those who were wicked see the retribution, they will see that all power belongs to God, and that God is severe in retribution.
but for getting the love of God too some key people are mention here by their actions...
And Allah loves the steadfast (3 /146) sabreen
and Allah loves the doers of good (3/134) mohseneen
Indeed, Allah loves the righteous (9 / 4) mutaqeen
and Allah loves those who purify themselves. ( 9/ 10 mutahireen
Indeed, Allah loves those who act justly (60 / muqsiteensolomon the lover of God once immersed in entertainment suddenly he realise he even forget the zikar(remembring) of God... and we in our daily life are engagged in different type of entertainment like mobile ,matches, hanging out, partying, and sometimes totally lost the remembrance of God.. while we are busy.. and if something bad happen to our mobile or any stuff of entertainment we get worried ... (
3832 He said, "I love the good of materials more than I enjoyed remembering my Lord"
the real love achieved by real emotions specially when the love belong to the being who is fully aware of whatever is in our chests...
claiming that loving God and doing things which is not recommended by God is a fake love .. which will not give us anything ... specially the peace of heart..
the example of God love is like a sweetdish/dessert after a meal...
let say i eat and i get full after my meal and someone ask me for sweetdish and i say yeh definately .. that portion of sweetdish is always empty in our stomach even if we are full...
the love of God is also that important ..like a sweetdish... a satisfaction.. peace and combination of relaxation that no money or material things can ever give you...
i always want to love my God untill the end of my life .. as i know when i will die my body my name my properties will no more mine ... even my soul/charatcer/spirit will lock in the gravity of a barrier disconnect from world.. the thing that is mine and will be mine is my love of God... i didnt want to lose that property of mine at any cost... even if i have millions life to sacrifice ..
i love you my lord.. from the core of my heart ...
God bless you all

Salam Imran, referring to your answer, why is 'love for God' not the property of God?
you are the owner of that love(feeling).. so its belong to you
-
you are the owner of that love(feeling).. so its belong to you
Even though we understand what you are trying to say, you should be more elaborate in your explanation
because I am the owner of my deeds, I commit them.
And I am owner of my burdens.
Allah may choose to pardon some or blot out all, but they are still my deeds... -
He can take it away from you whenever He wants.
ok , why he will gona take it away what belong to you,,,? its my lovely and lovely God not a human.. or thief lol
actually he can take it away becoz he is fully controlleable on everything but why he will take it away ? it must b a good reason for taking something that is totally mine by default it will always mine thats why i said it my property ...
or can God make 2+2 = 5 becoz he is fully controlleable...
or can somebody take away the love of mother regarding his kid?
you need to understand love first brother , its not a material your statement is based on material hence not applied .. confused
i think before making this statement you forget... this statement indirectly mean DOES GOD LEAD PEOPLE ASTRAY? by taking the love of God from human... lol

Allah may choose to pardon some or blot out all, but they are still my deeds...deeds are responisble for punishment and rewards...
love is unconditional if you try to understand what is the difference between deeds and love...
example...
most of the times when we talk wordly love girls and boys flirt with these kind of stuffs..i love you alot my darling , i dnt need your money , status .. just your love i want ...
on other words lovers/flirters knows true love is not bound of conditions ... reasons..
so the love i am doing with my God... is seperate from my deeds of punishment and rewards...
understanding the real love is itself a difficult approach ...
BTW here is one of your post why did you write it specially tell me the reason ?

guys shall i tell you the first experience of my love and proof of that love...
i was 12 years old kid at that time was studying at sixth class ... i ask my mother to teach me pray i want to ask something from God...
that thing was impossible specially from last 7 years of schooling i never achieved that thing... even i try hard...
(actually it was a high standard school of my city and first three positions are always reserved s
due to big competetion)...some of the guys(position holder) challanged me and due to my strange nature of accepting challange i found my self in situation ...
and then i suddenly look my mother was praying and i ask a innocent question from my mom... that teach me how to pray ..and will God will fulfil it .. she gave an innocent reply... according to her knowledge she said God loves you more than 70 times than i love you as a mother so ask from him... and then i ask her to teach me how to contact pray...
and i ask God i love you if you love me fulfill my wish of standing at title position...(first tears of God love)
on the day of result... first two positions announed as expected ...
third one was also preparing to leave as usual...
but my name announced .... muscle pr hail (what a feeling that was i can still feel it) how i was running to stagejust for some drops of water that fell from my eyes due to the love of God .. how powerful these drops were infront of God..
what a wonderful/fintastic lord is my God....
that love inside me feel like a patrol of my body soul and spirit out of which this is useless... thats y my hunger of God love increase and increase... till now...
NOTE that was just the begining... of surprises .. that God gives me always...
now focus on my romance/love with God lol
" in the darkness of night ... i write God on my heart... with the tip of my forefinger"
a strange kind of ink was that neither i can see it nor i can remove it" -
Peace
One example I want to remind you of is 478-79
Aynama takoonoo yudrikkumu almawtu walaw kuntum fee buroojin mushayyadatin wa-in tusibhum hasanatun yaqooloo hathihi min AAindi Allahi wa-in tusibhum sayyi-atun yaqooloo hathihi min AAindika qul kullun min AAindi Allahi famali haola-i alqawmi la yakadoona yafqahoona hadeethan
Ma asabaka min hasanatin famina Allahi wama asabaka min sayyi-atin famin nafsika waarsalnaka lilnnasi rasoolan wakafa biAllahi shaheedan
Wherever you be will overtake you death even if you are in towers lofty. And if befalls them any good they say, "This (is) from Allah," And if befalls them any evil they say, "This (is) from you." Say, "All (is) from Allah." So what (is wrong) (with) these people, they do not seem (to) understand any statement.
What(ever) befalls you of (the) good (is) from Allah, and whatever befalls you of (the) evil (is) from yourself. And for the people (as) a Messenger, and Allah is sufficient (as) a Witness.
Take your time with the above Ayaahs and let your Lord teach you and guide you to the correct interpretation
These verses are key in my humble opinion because they illustrate an abstract concept that was for some reason difficult for some of the people around the prophet to grasp.These people thought that the good they received was from Allah but they attributed the evil that befell them to the prophet.
Allah then teaches us and clarifies that
- "All is from Allah"
- What(ever) befalls you of (the) good (is) from Allah
- Whatever befalls you of (the) evil (is) from yourself.
Some people who do not know may think think that statement 3 contradicts statement 1.
Fortunately Allah's Truth calls for ReasonThe good that befalls us it is pure Mercy and Grace from Himself (favors upon any of us are innumerable)
In fact, as an extension of statement 1, Allah pardons from much that we do.4230 And whatever befalls you of (the) misfortune, (is because) of what have earned your hands. But He pardons much.
So statement 3 means that the punishment or disaster we incur is a result of our misdeeds or erring, however the punishment comes from He Who controls ALL affairs. It has to originate from a source and He IS THE ORIGINATOR.
Why do I mention this topic and cite these verses you might ask?
Because we are essentially addressing the same topic.
While these verses have already answered them.Do we own anything? Not really if you want to get technical everything we have was given to us.
EVERYTHING is from God,
but just as the evil that befalls a man is from himself this means that a person takes full ownership and responsibility for their actions, thoughts and feelings. This is part of that Trust that all of the worlds except for man declined. 3372I know this may be tough to grasp imran but listen all of the above underlined are part of "free will". They are components that constitute volition.
If you didn't own your own actions and deeds which are an extension of your volition, then there would be no point in testing you or letting you be punished.
Love like hate is emotions/feelings/thoughts which is part of your volition/free will/ because you have to actively choose to hate something, or being stubborn or averse to the truth is a choice. Hating God's Messages and Truth is a choice other than that men could not be punished for something they have no control over. Emotions are controlled by free will/volition 4010
Allah knows, perhaps it might have started as an innate part of your nature but maintaining that love was a result of reasoning, volition, willingness to cultivate that love, expand and grow...
The issue is not solely based on feeling inclination/love towards Him, but getting this love/inclination grow and develop into mature loveLove for Allah also needs to grow.
Don't be so rigid in your understanding of "free will" it is not only the ability of making decision, it is broader and more inclusive than what I think you are understanding it as.
Therefore, yes you are correct love you own it
and yes virginia and others are equally correct deeds you own themAll are part of the Trust/volition/"free will" we are given
Peace

Whatever befalls you of good is because you are good and whatever befalls you of evil is because you are evil.

ok , why he will gona take it away what belong to you,,,? its my lovely and lovely God not a human.. or thief lol
actually he can take it away becoz he is fully controlleable on everything but why he will take it away ? it must b a good reason for taking something that is totally mine by default it will always mine thats why i said it my property ...
My deeds are also my property, what's the difference?
you need to understand love first brother , its not a material your statement is based on material hence not applied .. confused
The "intrinsic" value of deeds are also not materialistics
i think before making this statement you forget... this statement indirectly mean DOES GOD LEAD PEOPLE ASTRAY? by taking the love of God from human... lol
Why would He take away my deeds, I earned them myself, is He unjust?
