Love in Islam

"The concept of love has intrigued mankind since our very creation. Stories of love have been found in all societies, past and present. It’s found in poetry and literature (Shakespeare, H. D. Lawrence), in pop culture (songs, movies, operas).

The love for our parents is one of the first emotions we feel. Throughout our lives we love countless things. But if you ask a group of people what love is, they’ll all have a different answer. History is full of Literature and anecdotes explaining and describing love. In truth, the definitions of love are exhaustive. Everyone has a different explanation of love, because there really is no one definition for it.

There are many different types of love. The love for one’s Mother and Father is different from the love for a spouse. The love for people and animate objects is different from our love for Allah and Islam. And these different forms of love are also accompanied by different ways of expression.

As a Muslim, our feelings of love should be governed by the duties and beliefs of Islam. The perfection of love is our love for Allah."
