Is love when you’re captivated by their beautiful gleaming smile and the twinkle that shines in their eyes?

Is love when you know what true love is?

Is love when you can’t get them off your mind?

Is love when you cry and yearn for their touch?

Is love when you take a bit of chocolate after having been on a diet?

Is love when you only do everything for your creator?

Is love when you cry in pain and sorrow after having sinned?

Is love when you see your child sound asleep?

Is love when you spend every spare minute you have reading about the prophets (pbut) of Islam?

Is love when you spend hours of sincere repentance for your errors?

Is love when you do everything for a person just so they smile?

Is love better expressed in words or do actions speak louder than words?

Is love when they say ‘I love you’?

What is love?

Ponder and perhaps you may find the answers in you.

Prophet Muhammed Peace and blessings be upon him said “Love Allah because he nourishes and sustains you. Love me because Allah loves me” [Tirmidhi]

Its not an emotion because its a package of emotionz all packed up in one.

With love; you experience joy, sadness, anger, patience, one moment you feel on top of the world, and the next you might feel like you're dead. Before experiencing it, you want it so much, but once you're inside - you can't escape.

That's why, love for the sake of Allaah subhanahu wa ta'aala is the only way of true love. If there's an argument, you turn back to each other to ask for forgiveness, instead of experiencing pride on who will say 'sorry' first.

You don't want to hurt each other because you feel that you have let Allaah Almighty down.

But most importantly; if the one you love.. dies. You still believe that you can be with them in jannah insha'Allaah, and it is a temporary test from Allaah azawajal, to see if you will be patient and keep your faith in Allaah subhanahu wa ta'aala.

The same applies to parent's children too:


Narrated by Abu Moosa al-Ash’aree - radi Allaahu ‘anhu -

Allah’s Messenger, sal Allaahu alayhi wa sallam, said, “If the child of a servant (of Allah) dies, Allah questions the angels, ‘Have you taken the life of my servant’s child?’

“The angels reply, ‘Yes.’

“Allah then asks them, ‘Have you taken the fruit of his heart?’

“The angels reply, ‘Yes.’

“Then Allah asks them, ‘What did my servant say?’

“They reply, ‘He praised you and refrained (from saying anything unbefitting)’

“At that Allah will say, ‘Build a home for my slave in Jannah and call it Bayt-ul-Hamd (The Home of Thankfulness).’”



Whatever happens, when someone is patient and says the dua that the Prophet - sal Allaahu alayhi wa sallam - taught us, that person will be blessed with something better.

The Dua is as follows:

“Inna lillaahi wa inna Ilayhi raaji’oon. Allaahumma ‘jurnee fee museebatee, wakhluf lee khayrun minh.”

Umm Salamah - radi Allaahu ‘anha - the narrator of this dua, loved her husband very much. When he died, she states, “I was firm to say the dua, but I thought to myself, how could I get anything better then Abu Salamah? Allah answered my dua and I married the Messenger of Allah! And he is better then Abu Salamah.”



wa Allaahu ta'aala a'lam. (and Allaah Almighty knows best)

 
Love is what you feel when you kick the crap out of your brother, and are all hugs and smiles five minutes later.

Love is when you tell the truth, even when it's painful.

Love is when you put a whoopee cushion on your boss's chair, and get a pay rise for it.

Love is... :p
 
Love??
Love???
Love????
Love in my opinion is being there for someone even when the world has left him. Crying when he or she cries, making sorrow turn into laughter, and tell them in every bad there is good. Never leaving the person except if death parts u. Loving who he loves, sharing what u have, never forsaking one another even if the world comes to an end, and lastly fighting when necessary, believe it or not, alot of oouples divorce becos they dun fight, as fighting releases the immediate anger, so that it doesnt bottle up and cause a rift. Many couples make that mistake thinking they are saving their marriage and in fact they are sinking their marraige, So fight, wrestle make wars wid each other :lol:

Yes, people can experience those things in love, depending on the nature of their relationship. But that isn't always so. A love can also be accepting, forgiving and never angry too. So it's not a 'package' as such. Love is just an emotion of extreme liking and some selfishness.

That's why, love for the sake of Allaah subhanahu wa ta'aala is the only way of true love. If there's an argument, you turn back to each other to ask for forgiveness, instead of experiencing pride on who will say 'sorry' first.

I think loving for the sake of Allah applies to forgiveness and acceptance of one's weaknesses and good treatment. Like we are suppose to love our brothers and sisters in islam, spouses, families etc. You can't love someone romantically for the sake of Allah. You can only treat them kindly and fairly for His sake and that in turn will enhance love and romance between two people. No love is pure from selfishness, except the love for Allah.
