I LOVE YOU

It’s a sentence most folks have most likely used at only once or another, though we have a tendency to most likely don’t wish elaborate on the context we’ve used it in.

BUT HEY, WHAT’S WRONG WITH LOVE?

Love is one among the central human emotions. we have a tendency to all expertise love for somebody or one thing, to varying degrees, at only once or another. Most of the time, after we think about love, it brings a heat, fuzzy, and typically naughty feeling – the kind that produces us feel that nothing within the world matters, with the exception of our beloved.

We are usually hushed up and reluctant to debate love with anyone, apart from perhaps our shut friends. however if we expect concerning it, love isn’t one thing unhealthy. In fact, it too may be a blessing of Allah. Think: if there was no love within the world, each single person would fight everybody else. There would be no peace and happiness. the planet would be a terrible place while not love.

One of the strongest (if not the strongest) bonds of affection are between members of the family. Thus, Allah has created all believers brothers (and sisters). That’s why we must always attempt to love all Muslims as our brothers and sisters.

ALLAH (SW) HAS SAID:

"The believers are nothing else than brothers (in Islâmic religion)." (Quran, 49:10)

Love is natural. It enters the center and leaves at can, and that we don’t have a lot of management over it. whereas we have a tendency to don’t have management over love, we have a tendency to do possess management over the actions it will lead us to.

In essence, love is nice, however it's the actions that result from it that are of concern.

As with something, there's an explicit limit and transgressing the limit turns the nice into unhealthy. as an example, praying Salah may be a smart issue. No Muslim disputes this reality. However, if one prays Nafl (non-obligatory) Salah all night and misses Fajr (a Fardh or obligatory Salah) within the morning, then his praying Nafl all night becomes one thing unhealthy. Likewise, if a person spends all day praying and doesn’t give ample food, clothing, and shelter for his wife and youngsters, then his praying all day becomes unhealthy.

Similarly, if love for one thing or somebody begins blocking us from the worship of Allah and from following his orders, the love additionally becomes a nasty issue. If an individual, for the love of his kids, works all day long (so he will feed and dress them well) and doesn’t pray and bear in mind Allah, then his love for his kids has evidently become unhealthy for him. Allah Almighty says:

"O you who believe! Let not your properties or your kids divert you from the remembrance of Allâh. And whosoever will that, then they're the losers." (Quran, 63:9)

In the same means, if the love leads us to forbidden acts that displease Allah, nonetheless it becomes one thing unhealthy.

Many times, the love for our beloved will lead us on to a really treacherous path. It will happen terribly slowly – thus slowly that one usually fails to understand what's close to transpire, and “things” simply “seem to happen”.

IN THE HOLY QURAN, ALLAH HAS SAID:

"And return not close to Zina (unlawful intercourse). Verily, it's a Fâhishah [i.e. something that transgresses its limits (a nice sin)], and an evil means (that leads one to Hell unless Allâh forgives him)." (Quran, 17:32)

Note here that Allah has said “and return not near” rather than saying “don’t do”. What will this tell us? the subsequent hadith of the Prophet (SAW) explains the verse:

“The zina of the eyes is that the gaze (at that that is unlawful); the zina of the ears is to pay attention (to talks that excite the carnal need); the zina of the tongue is to talk (what is evil); the zina of the hand is to the touch (the female that is unlawful to you); the zina of the feet is to steer (towards immorality); the zina of the center is to desire (what is unlawful), and it's the non-public components that either commits or shuns the particular act of fornication.” (Reported by Muslim)

If the love for an individual leads us to any of the on top of, it's clearly crossing the limit. Be it through meeting, talking, or just chatting, we have a tendency to should watch out that our love for our beloved doesn’t take us overboard. Love is natural, nonetheless what it will result in is what’s dangerous.

We all fall in love only once or the opposite. The secret's to manage the love and place the brakes on any doubtless unlawful actions it should lead us to, despite how minor they'll appear.

Verily, short-lived is that the love that ends up in the displeasure of Allah (SW).

May Allah (SW) defend me and every one folks from the love that ends up in His displeasure. Ameen.
