Quotes About Love

“Allah loves His creation. That’s why He rewards so greatly for serving them.

“If you chose a spouse for the right reasons, prayed istikhara, asked Allah for the good of that person, and still ended up with a bad spouse…know that there is a “good” lesson that you were being taught and pay close attention to the Teacher

Shaykh Omar Suleiman

“We all want love. From God, and from the creation. We are all running towards something. Ironically, the more we run after the creation, the more the creation runs away from us! As soon as we stop running after the creation, and reorient, as soon as we start running towards God, the creation runs after us. It’s a simple, simple formula:

Run towards the creation, you lose God and the creation. Run towards God, you gain God *and* the creation.

Allah is “Al Wadood” (The Source of Love). Therefore, love comes from God—not people. “To acquire love…fill yourself up with it until you become a magnet.”

When you fill yourself with the Source of love (Al Wadood), you become a magnet for love. Allah teaches us this in the beautiful hadith Qudsi: “If Allah has loved a servant [of His], He calls Gabriel and says: “I love so-and-so, therefore love him.’” He (the Prophet pbuh) said: “So Gabriel then loves him. Then he (Gabriel) calls out in Heaven, saying: ‘Allah loves so-and-so, therefore love him.’ And the inhabitants of Heaven love him. Then acceptance is established for him on earth.” [Bukhari, Malik, & Tirmidhi]

We’re all running. But so few of us are running in the right direction. We have the same goal. But to get there, we need to stop. And examine if we are running towards the Source–or just a reflection

Yasmin Mogahed

“Oh external worshiper, know that worship without heart is motions. Oh seeker of knowledge, know that knowledge without purification is a dangerous weapon of the ego. Oh activist, know that work without orientation of heart is fruitless. Oh lover, know that love without God is pain.

Yasmin Mogahed

“A spouse's oppression of his or her spouse is a deeper corruption and a faster road to catastrophe than a ruler's oppression of his subjects.

Muhammad al-Ghazali

“We know that “I love you” is easy to say but difficult to prove yet we still fall for mere words and complain when we are hurt.

Mufti Ismail Menk

“He who is attracted to you because you showed perhaps your legs or your shape - those legs are not going to look like that for the rest of your life, nor will you be able to maintain that shape forever. So therefore it is better for you to realise that he who is attracted to your heart, your goodness and your character is the one to whom no matter what you look like, he will love you and adore you and 60 years down the road would still tell you that you’re ‘the one’.

Mufti Ismail Menk

“Every relationship has tough days. Don’t let the grudge last. Be the first to try to make things right and stop waiting for an apology.

Nouman Ali Khan

“Let not your love become attachment, nor your hate become destruction.

Umar ibn al-Khattab

“Relationships can’t blossom unless there is meaningful communication. That’s why “supplication is the key to worship.” It is a sign of meaningful communication between God and a person

Suhaib Webb

“If the heart is fed by love, the greed for pleasure would disappear.

Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah

“All too often people concentrate on finding the right spouse, little realizing that half of any marriage is being the right spouse.

Yasir Qadhi

“A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.

Waleed Basyouni

“When talking about marriage, Allah says your spouses are garments for you. A garment may or may not fit perfectly—but either way, it covers imperfections, protects, and beautifies.

Yasmin Mogahed

“You don’t truly love someone unless you include them in your supplications.

Abdulbary Yahya

“Islam didn’t make it Haram for you to fall in love. It didn’t forbid you from wanting someone. It only guides that love so it protects you, her, your families and especially saves you from humiliation on Judgment Day. If you love her so much, why are you OK with letting her engage in this questionable relationship knowing full well that she will have to answer Allah just like you will. You don’t love her enough to save her from that?

Nouman Ali Khan

“Marry someone who is deeply interested in the Deen, because that is who your children will follow.

Mufti Ismail Menk

“Love has many colors, just because someone does not show love the way you perceive it to be does not mean they don’t love you.

Abdulbary Yahya

“Forbidden love stories end at marriage, while true halal love stories begin at marriage and end with both entering paradise together.

Abdulbary Yahya

“Once you begin to see everything beautiful as only a reflection of God’s beauty, you will learn to love in the right way: for His sake. Everything and everyone you love will be for, through and because of Him. The foundation of such love is God. So what you hold onto will no longer be just an unstable feeling, a fleeting emotion. And what you chase will no longer be just a temporary high. What you hold, what you chase, what you love, will be God: the *only* thing stable and constant. Thereafter, everything else will be through Him. Everything you give or take or love or don’t love, will be by Him. Not by your nafs. It will be for Him. Not for your nafs.
