CONCERNING LOVE/MOHABBAT (source of life) —ISHQ
“O believers, whosoever among you apostatize(Abandon one’s beliefs or allegiances) from their religion, Allah (swt) will assuredly bring in their stead a people whom He will love and who will love Him” (5/59);
Love is one of the names of His will (iradah), like “satisfaction”, “anger”, “mercy”, etc., and His will is an eternal attribute whereby He wills His actions.
“Poverty” {Faqr) to denote the renunciation of the lover’s personal will in his affirmation of the Beloved’s will.
Allah (swt)loves to meet those who love to meet Him, and dislikes to meet those who dislike to meet Him” The believers love allah( subhanu wataala) the most.
love is the foundation and principle of the way to God, that all “states” and “stations” are stages of love. love is a feeling (hal), and feelings are never mere words (qal).
The lovers of Allah (swt)are those who devote themselves to death in nearness to Him.
habbat is the core of the heart, where love resides. the heart and the eye are rivals in love.
Excessive love (ishq) cannot possibly arise without the Beloved is subsistent (baqi) and the lover is annihilated (fani/ by negating himself).
The glory of this world is Allah (swt)’s being with them, and the glory of the next world is their being with Allah (swt).
A man performs the command of his beloved more easily in proportion to the strength of love in his heart.
When allah loves some one all his creation in sky and earth will start loving that servant of allah ( that servants love is installed in the hearts, by allah)When allah hates some one all his creation in sky and earth will start hateing that servant of allah ( that servants hatred is installed in the hearts, by allah)
‘Whoever despises any of My friends has declared war against Me, I do not hesitate in anything as I hesitate to seize the soul of My faithful servant. My servant seeks My favour is more pleasing to Me than the performance of the obligations which I have laid upon him;
(HEART-SPIRIT-SOUL-BODY)/(UNION-PROXIMITY-LOVE-PRAYER)
Allah imprisoned the heart in the spirit(lower self/nafs/ego) and the spirit in the soul(upper self/ruh) and the soul in the body; then He mingled reason (‘aql) with them, and sent prophets and gave commands.
The body betook itself to prayer,
the soul attained to love,
the spirit arrived at proximity to God,
the heart found rest in union with Him.
Ruh =angelic in nature
jism =wordly in nature.
When I want to talk to allah I say prayers and when I want that he talk to me I recite quran- Hazrath Ali(ra)
