LOVE IS SECRET

Love is a secret connection between the lover and his beloved. Many a time love is cemented between them not for their beauty but for the union of their souls. The Prophet Sallallahu Alyhi Wa Sallam said: "Out of them, love grows among those who have got similarity of souls." So it appears that there are five cause's of love:

(1) A man loves his life, his perfection and his living long.
(2) He loves one who helps him in his livelihood.
(3) He loves one who does good to the people.
(4) He loves one who has external and internal beauty.
(5) He loves one who has a secret connection with him.

If these qualities are found in one person, love for him is increased manifold.

Hasan al Basri says: Sell this present world of yours for the next world and you will gain both in entirety, but do not sell the next world for this world, for so you shall lose the two together.

Ibn al-Jawzi said:

“Something was causing me a great deal of grief and distress, and I started to think long and hard about how to get out of this situation by any means, but I could not find any way out. then I came across this verse:

‘…And whosoever fears Allah and keeps his duty to Him, He will make a way for him to get out [of every difficulty].’ (65:2)


I realised that Taqwa (Piety, fearing Allah) is the way out of every kind of grief and distress. As soon as I followed the path of taqwa, I found the way out.”

I say: for the wise men, taqwa is the way that leads to everything good, for calamity happens only as a result of sin, and it can only be lifted through repentance. Sadness, grief and worry are punishments for sins that you have committed, by falling short in your prayers, or backbiting about a Muslimah, or taking the matter of hijab lightly, or committing a haram (forbidden) action. Whoever goes against the laws of Allah, the Almighty, has to pay the price for that shortcoming. The One Who created happiness is the Most Gracious Most Merciful, so how can you seek happiness from anyone other than Him? If people had control over happiness, there would be no deprived or grieving person left on earth.”

So true . I thought of that verse, and I only now realised it was from the Qur'an..

"It is painful to realize that while an animal recognizes its master, human beings do not recognize their Lord".

'Uthmaan Radhiallaahu 'Anhu

Sufyaan Ibn Uyaynah Rahimahullaah said: Verily Rasoolullaah Sallallaahu 'Alayhi Wa Sallam is the best scale, and upon him should things be weighed,upon his character, conduct and way, so whatever conforms to that then it is correct, and whatever contradicts it then it is falsehood.

When Ibn Abbas, one of the greatest Scholars among the Sahabahs, was asked how he obtained all his knowledge, he replied: "with an inquisitive tongue (i.e. he always asked questions) and a contemplating heart".

"A young man would tell me something that I may have heard before he was even born. Nevertheless, I would still listen to him as if I had never heard it before."

Imaam 'Ataa ibn Abi Rabaah Rahimahullaah

Al-’Abbas ibn Hamza: ‘I heard Ahmad ibn Hanbal say,

سبحانك! ما أغفل هذا الخلق عما أمامهم, الخائف منهم مقصر والراجي منهم متوانٍ

‘Glory be to You, O Allah! How heedless the creation is of what lies ahead of them! The one who fears (the Hereafter) is falling short and the one who has hope of it, is ever slacking.’


I don't understand this

^ I think I get it now..

"Become a scholar if you are able. If you are not able, then be a student. If you can not, then show love for them. If you are unable to do that, then (at least) do not hate them." ['Umar ibn 'Abdil-'Azeez (rahimahullah]

It's saying that neither those with fear nor those with hope are doing what they're supposed to do.

The person who fears jahannam is falling short by still committing sins, and the one who hopes for jannah is always slacking in doing good deeds.
