When they were all assembled, the Negus spoke to them and said:

What is this religion wherein ye have become separate from your people, though ye have not entered my religion nor that of any other of the folk that surround us?

Ja'far answered him saying:

The word LOVE and its derivatives are mentioned 92 times in the Quran.

Prophet (SAWS) said "My foundation is love"

Prophet (SAWS) said "You are not truly belivers until you love for your brother what you love for yourself"

Allah warns believers that he will replace them if they do not be mindful of Allah's love to them, and they love Him back.

The big deal is recipricated love. To love and to be loved is everything
