   • 609–632 CE, Qur'an, 5:18:
     (translated by Sahih International)

     وَقَالَتِ ٱلْيَهُودُ وَٱلنَّصَارَى نَحْنُ أَبْنَاءُ ٱللّٰهِ وَأَحِبَّاؤُهُ قُلْ فَلِمَ يُعَذِّبُكُم بِذُنُوبِكُم بَلْ أَنْتُم بَشَرٌ مِمَّنْ خَلَقَ يَغْفِرُ لِمَن يَشَاءُ وَيُعَذِّبُ مَن يَشَاءُ وَلِلّٰهِ مُلْكُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَإِلَيْهِ ٱلْمَصِيرُ

     wa-qālati l-yahūdu wa-n-naṣārā naḥnu ʔabnāʔu llāhi wa-ʔaḥibbāʔuhū qul fa-lima yuʕaḏḏibukum bi-ḏunūbikum bal ʔantum bašarun mimman ḵalaqa yaḡfiru li-man yašāʔu wa-yuʕaḏḏibu man yašāʔu wa-li-llāhi mulku s-samāwāti wa-l-ʔarḍi wa-mā baynahumā wa-ʔilayhi l-maṣīru

     But the Jews and the Christians say, "We are the children of Allah and His beloved." Say, "Then why does He punish you for your sins?" Rather, you are human beings from among those He has created. He forgives whom He wills, and He punishes whom He wills. And to Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them, and to Him is the [final] destination.

2. sweetheart
3. dear
4. darling

   يَا حَبِيبِي! ― yā ḥabībī! ― oh my darling!

5. (Sufism, in the definite) frequently used title of God, the Beloved, the Focus of one's heart and devotion
