CONCERNING LOVE/MOHABBAT (source of life)

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.

“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);

“Some men take idols beside Allah (swt) and love them as they love Allah (swt), but the believers love Allah (swt) best” (2/160).

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.

so love(source of life), when it takes its dwelling in the heart, is not corrupted by presence or absence, by pleasure or pain, by separation or union.

habbat is the core of the heart, where love resides. the heart and the eye are rivals in love.

As the body subsists through the spirit, so the heart subsists through love, and love subsists through vision of, and union with, the beloved.

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.

Love is a state/haal under ahkam/order

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)
