Meaning of A Love

Meaning of A Love

Authors: Al-Ustadz Abu Usamah ibn Abd An-Nawawi Rawiyah

Love can be the word's most talked about man. Every person has a sense of love that can be applied to many things. Women, property, children, vehicles, homes and various other pleasures of the world is the main target of most human love. Love the most high and glorious is the love of a servant to his Lord.
We often hear the word of five letters: LOVE. Every person has even felt it, but it is difficult to define. Especially to know its nature. Accordingly, one can easily get out of the shackles of Sharia law when it raised the flag of love. An adulterer easily without the accompaniment of shame to say, "We both love, as they liked." For reasons of love, a father let his children wander in sin. By reason of love as well, a husband and wife live off free without bond and without the slightest jealousy.
So if ignorance has plagued the life and truth no longer be the benchmark. In these circumstances, the devil appeared flying its flag and beating the drums of deception with love as the foundation for the lifting of all that is forbidden pembolehan Allah and His Messenger Muhammad. He said:
"Cite this as a beautiful (view) human love of what is desirable, namely: women, children, many of the kinds of treasures of gold, silver, horse selection, cattle and rice fields. This is the pleasure of living in the world and in nearness to Allah is a good place again. "(Ali 'Imran: 14)
Companions of the Prophet in the hadith Tsauban said: 'It is almost pagans gathered around you as berkerumunnya on top of a crock. "Someone said:' O Allah, what is the amount of time we were very little? 'Messenger of Allah said:' Even when it's you and yet you like a lot of scum on the water. And God will completely withdraw from the hearts of the enemy fear you and God will really throw you into the heart (disease) al-wahn. 'Someone asked:' What is al-wahn O Messenger of Allah? 'He replied: "Love the world and fear of death." (Abu Dawud no. 4297, and classed as saheeh by Ash-Shaykh Al-Albani in Saheeh Sunan Abi Dawud no. 3610)
Ash-Shaykh 'Abd Al-Sa'di in his commentary says: "God is preached in these two verses (Ali' Imran: 13-14) about the human condition related to the problem the world over love life rather than the Hereafter, and Allah explains the large difference between two nations. Allah announces that those things (lust, women, children, etc.) dihiaskan to humans so that rolled their eyes and drove it in their hearts, it's over to all forms of soul delights. Most of the incline to the jewelry world and making it the largest destination of ideals, their love and knowledge. Though it is a bit of jewelry and will disappear in a very fast. "
Definition of Love
To define love is difficult, because it could not be reached with the sentences and difficult words touched. Ibn al-Qayyim said: "Love can not be clearly defined, even when it is defined not produce (something) but adds vague and unclear, (meaning) is the definition of love itself." (Madarijus Salikin, 3/9)
Love Itself
Love is a heart practice that will be realized in the (practice) outward. If love is in line with what God approves, it will be worship. And conversely, if not in accordance with His good pleasure it would be immoral deeds. Means clear that love is the heart of worship when the wrong place it will drop us into something that wrath of God is shirk.


Love to God
Because God's love that is built will produce goodness that very many and valuable. Ibn al-Qayyim in Madarijus Salikin (3/22) said: "Some of the Salaf said that a people had claimed to love Allah then Allah revealed the verse exam to them:
"Say: if you love Allah then follow me, Allah will love you." (Ali 'Imran: 31)
They (some of the Salaf) said: "(the word of God) 'Surely Allah will love you', this is a sign of the love of the evidence and fruit and faidahnya. Evidence and signs (love of God) is to follow the Prophet, and the fruit faidah God is love to you. If you do not follow the Messenger of Allah to you then love will not be realized and will be lost. "
If so, it is bases in love with someone else because of his course will get the glory and value in the sight of Allah. The Prophet said in hadith narrated from Anas bin Malik:
"The three things that whoever is in his third, he will undoubtedly get the sweetness of faith. Let Allah and His Messenger more than he loved rather than two, and let him love someone and not because she loved him but God, and let him hate to return to kufr after Allah saved him from infidelity it as he hates to be thrown into hell. "(Narrated by Al-Bukhari, no. of 16 and Muslim, no. 43)
Ibn al-Qayyim said that among the causes of love (to God) there are ten cases:
First, read the Qur'an, explore, and understand its meanings and what dimaukannya.
Second, draw closer to God by the practice-practice sunnah after practice mandatory.
Third, continuous dhikr in every state.
Fourth, give priority to love God above your love when the agitation of lust.
Fifth, a heart that always dig up the names and attributes of God, watch and find out.
Sixth, see the virtues of God and all His blessings.
Seventh, the submission of the heart before God.
Eighth, seclusion (solitary in bermunajat) with him when God came down (to the sky world).
Ninth, sitting with people who have the nature of love and honesty.
Tenth, keep all the causes that would block the heart of God. (Madarijus Salikin, 3/18, with concise)
Love is Worship
As has already been passed, love is one of the heart of worship that has a high position in the religious rites as the others. He said:
"But God made you love faith faith and make it beautiful in your hearts." (Al-Hujurat: 7)
"And those who believe more in love with God." (Al-Baqarah: 165)
"Then Allah will bring a people whom God loves them and they love Him." (Al-Maidah: 54)
As for the argument of the hadith that the Prophet is the Anas hadith mentioned above issued by Al-Imam Al-Bukhari and Al-Imam Muslim: "Let Allah and His Messenger more than he loved rather than both."
Kinds of love
Among the scholars there is a love split into two parts and there are split into four. Ash-Shaykh Muhammad ibn 'Al-Yamani Abdulwahhab in the book Al-Mufid fi Adillatit Qaulul Tawheed (p. 114) states that there are four kinds of love:
First, the love of worship.
That is to love God and what His beloved, with the argument above verses and hadiths.
Secondly, love shirk.
says:  That love of God and besides Him. God
"And among mankind is he who makes besides Allah as rivals (to Allah), their love rivals such as their love for God." (Al-Baqarah: 165)
Third, love sinners.
That love which will cause a person to carry out what God has forbidden and abandon what he commands. He said: 
"And you love wealth with a love that is." (Al-Fajr: 20)
Fourth, the nature of love.
Like the love of children, family, self, property and other matters that are allowed. Still love this limited nature of love.  Allah said:
"When they (Joseph's brothers 'alaihis salam) said:' Joseph and his brother are more beloved to us than our fathers." (Yusuf: 8)
If you love this character we are distracted and negligent cause of obedience to God so as to leave duties, it is transformed into love sinners. If this causes us to love nature more in love with these objects so that just as our love for God or even more, then the nature of love is transformed into love shirk.
Fruit of love
 says: "Know that the Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah  move toward God there are three cases: love, fear, and hope. And the most powerful is love, and love itself is the goal because it will be found in the world and the Hereafter. "(Majmu 'Fatawa, 1/95)
 states: "The basis of monotheism and  ash-Shaykh 'Abd Al-Sa'di was sincerity in realizing the spirit of love to God. Love is the foundation of worship and worship him, even love is the essence of worship. Unity will not be perfect unless the love of a servant to his Lord is also perfect. "(Al-Qaulus Sadid, p. 110)
When we asked how the law of love to other than Allah? So we should not say haram to say may be spontaneous or globally, but the answer needs to be specified.
First, if he loves God is greater than or equal to the love of God then this is shirk love, the law clearly haram.
Second, when the love of God causes us to fall apart in a vice then love is love sinners, is haraam.
Third, if the nature of love is that this is allowed.
 Allaah knows best.
