TRUE LOVE
Attaining True Love - The forfeiture of the Dunya in an attempt to dispel vices and lusts from our soul only for the sake of the hereafter; bearing in mind that nothing else worth much more than obtaining the blessings of the Only One.
Detach the soul from the love of the treacherous Dunya.
The attainment of حق اليقين - the highest order of love, is to Love Allah consequently leaving the Dunya behind and to perform matters pertaining the Dunya only for the sake of pleasing Him and nothing else.
Love tied to living beings are temporary. Achieving perpetual love can only be done through divine connection.
Attaching our love and fervor to this Dunya will only hurt us and make us depressed or even destroy us.
Loving another Human Being which also counts for the love of Dunya can be the reason for our own demise.
Blood pacts or promises that are made, no matter how much effort humans place to preserve the bonds between them, they will always end up hurting.
Sometimes unrealisingly, the people that are closest and dearest to us are the ones we end up hurting.
This form of love is just but merely an ephemeral sensation, a temporary feeling of the heart, that as long as we are the creations of Almighty Allah, we will always be in an impairment to accomplish eternal love.
At this point, nothing is certain and absolute except for The Love for Allah.
Many people do not know that Allah, The Most Loving of all, The Most Compassionate, actually sent us a love letter, in the form of:
- Quran
- Nabi Muhammad s.a.w (Rahmatan Lil Alameen)
- Ahadeeth
These two components prove Allah's affection to His slaves - if only they paid closer attention to the meanings behind these revelations or 'love letters'.
E.g. The Al- Fatihah.
