LOVE IS A BEAUTIFUL GIFT fROM GOD ALMIGHTY
What is love? It is one of the most difficult questions for the mankind. Centuries have passed by, relationships have bloomed and so has love. But no one can give the proper definition of love. To some Love is friendship set on fire for others Maybe love is like luck. You have to go all the way to find it. No matter how you define it or feel it, love is the eternal truth in the history of mankind. Love can occur between two or more individuals. It bonds them and connects them in a unified link of trust, intimacy and interdependence. It enhances the relationship and comforts the soul.
Love should be experienced and not just felt. The depth of love can not be measured. But what is described by the words above are only available in the world of love alone, whereas it happen between human only and is not in the Hereafter. As a human, the true love is a love that comes from God ( Allah S.W.T)., whose love that comes from The Almighty is the most beautiful gift. And love that comes from God is an immortal love.
Love is one of the greatest blessings God has bestowed on humanity. God has created human nature in such a way that a person will take pleasure from loving and being loved, from friendship and from intimacy. Being with people who live by the moral values of the Qur'an, enjoying love and friendship with them, brings a believer greater pleasure than many other blessings. Therefore, the Paradise that Allah has promised to His servants whom He loves and with whom He is well pleased is a place of extraordinary beauty in which true love, friendship and intimacy will be experienced with enormous joy for ever.
The information Allah provides about the life of Paradise in the Qur'an, always refers to joy, friendship, love, conversation, pleasing words and peace. Everything that might prove an obstacle to love and friendship has been kept far removed from the people of Paradise. In one verse, for example, Allah has revealed that He will strip away any rancour in the hearts of the companions of Paradise (Surat al-A‘raf, 43). All vices that might represent an obstacle to love and friendship, such as jealousy, enmity, rivalry, anger, discord and touchiness, will be excluded from Paradise.
Actually the stage of love can be divided into several parts that is so common that the meaning of love has been restricted in the modern age to the love relationship between a man and a woman. This is a very narrow-minded view of love. Islam has is own comprehensive view of love.
1 ~ Love that Islam calls for is the Love of Allah (S.W.T), praise be to Him. This love makes you avoid committing sins in order not to make whom you love, Allah, get angry with you. This love also urges you to contemplate all the different aspect of nature that usually leads you to have a deeper faith in the Creator who created all this beauty round us.
2 ~ Love is the love of Holy Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w). This love also makes you follow the example of Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) in all his dealings and manners. Also this love is an indication of the love of Allah (S.W.T) as stated in the Noble Qur'an, "Say: 'If you do love Allah, Follow me: Allah will love you and forgive you your sins: For Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.'" Say: "Obey Allah and His Messenger: But if they turn back, Allah loves not those who reject Faith." (Noble Qur'an, 3:31-32) 3 ~ Love is human love. It means that the Muslim has to love his other fellow men regardless of their ethnic, linguistic or cultural background. This includes love of neighbors, colleagues, relatives and even strangers. This type of love persuades the Muslim to help anybody whenever he can. There are numerous of hadith that exhort Muslims to help anybody who really needs help because such an altruistic act takes the Muslim one step closer to Allah (S.W.T).
4 ~ Love is the love between a man and a woman, but Islam organizes and regulates these lofty feelings within the framework of marriage because Islam views that marital love leads the couple to have a peaceful and happy family life, which is the core of the Muslim society.
In other words, this love is acceptable as long as it is within the framework of marriage and this is encouraged in a number of verses in the Noble Qur'an, "And one of His signs is that He created mates for you from yourselves that you may find rest in them, and He put between you love and compassion; most surely there are signs in this for a people who reflect." (Noble Qur'an, 30:21)
Completion of what we need to remember is the love of God is a higher standard of love. The highlight of this love is beautiful and full of meeting love in heaven filled with joy. Love for God will be born for enaough people know God, and after tat we will find the true lve between man forever.
Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none.
William Shakespeare.
Every time I say I love you
I'm really trying to say
so much more than those three little words
I'm trying to say
you mean more to me
than anyone else in the world
I'm trying to let you know
that I adore you and that
I cherish the time we spend together
I'm trying to explain that I want you and
that I need you and that
I get lost in wonderful thoughts
every time I think about you.
And each time I whisper "I love you"
I'm trying to remind you that
you're the best thing that has ever happened to me
