What exactly is love? Is there an absolute meaning to the word - love? Or is it purely subjective? The concept of true love is what we search for all our lives. What people really want more than anything else is to be loved unconditionally; to be accepted for who we are, and still be loved. Love is ,in fact,one of the greatest blessings Allah has bestowed on humanity. Allah has created human nature in such a way that a person will take pleasure from loving and being loved, from friendship and from intimacy.
Yet love is one of the most misunderstood concepts of all .
Previously love was kind and seemed amazing when two hearts were combined. Love was pure and was something great that lovers could endure. Today's world is a materialistic world
where love does not carry much significance compared to gifts and money and where love is seen as a mathematical equation, to give and not to forget to take in return and it is no longer taken as a gift sent from heaven.
Unfortunately, what lies behind the attachment of people who do not believe in Allah and the Hereafter is generally the importance imputed to worldly values and expectations directed towards worldly interests. By coming together, these people in one sense make a mutual agreement of interests; each one support the other and thus seek to achieve mutual advantages. The people in that alliance know that their togetherness is not based on trust or friendship, and that, even though this is not openly stated, the alliance is dependent on a number of conditions. When the element of either person that provides the other with these advantages is eliminated, the alliance also falls apart. Whether this leaves the other person in difficulties or needing support is of no interest to other.
Actually, The only force on Earth that can establish true friendship and love among human beings is “faith.” This faith is the strongest bond in the earth that guarantees an eternal and everlasting love which is the true one. In fact, it is impossible for this bond, based on love of Allah and fear of Allah, to be loosed unless Allah so wills.
A true believer is that who considers love as the choice one makes to put someone's wishes, desires and needs above his own.The true source of this love that believers have for one another is their deep love of Allah. Believers whose purpose in the life of this world is to attain the approval, mercy and Paradise of Allah spend their entire lives for Him. As is revealed in the verse “Say: ‘My prayer and my rites, my living and my dying, are for Allah alone, the Lord of all the worlds,’’ (Surat al-An‘am, 162). Since believers intend to be one another’s eternal friends in the Hereafter they are bound to one another with a deep love, respect and loyalty. Therefore, they know no rivalry, disagreement or dispute. Due to their fear of and sincere faith in Allah, no matter what difficulties or troubles they may encounter they never fall into defeatism, moral relativism or lack of will.
So brothers and sisters in islam ask yourselves which kind of love are you seeking for?
