“When Allah blesses us with someone that we love, we forget that Allah is the source of that blessing, and we begin to love that person as we should love Allah. That person becomes the center of our world—all our concerns, thoughts, plans, fears, and hopes revolve only around them. If they are not our spouses, we are sometimes even willing to fall into haram just to be with them. And if they were to leave us, our whole world would crumble. So now, we have shifted our worship from the Source of the blessing to the blessing itself.

In so doing we are foolishly—and ironically—disobeying the Provider in order to protect the provision.

We fail because when Allah gives us these blessings, we unwittingly turn them into false idols in the heart.

Yasmin Mogahed

“Love isn't supposed to torment you. If it does, there's probably something wrong.

Prophet Muhammad ﷺ

“It will keep hurting you, until you let go and there remains nothing in the heart but Him. Once that happens you will no longer love for your own sake. Everything you want, love, or hate will be for, through and by Him.
