Love
\r\n Al-Maidah (The Table Spread) - Chapter 5: Verse 54 (partial)

\r\n

"If any from among you turns back from his Faith, soon will God produce a people whom He will love as they will love Him."

\r\n

Love is the attachment of the heart, in exclusive fashion, between zeal and intimacy and in giving and withholding.

\r\n

It is of three levels:

\r\n

The first level is love that puts an end to suspicions, imbues the service with pleasure and provides comfort in misfortunes.

\r\n

It is love that buds from observing the Grace, is consolidated by adhering to the Sunnah and grows as a response to poverty.

\r\n

The second level is love that causes one to favour the True One above anyone else, to persevere in praising His Name and to attach to the heart His Contemplation.

\r\n

It is love that emerges from observing the Attributes, looking into the Verses and adhering to the Discipline.

\r\n

The third level is love that captivates and takes the breath away, focuses on the intimation and cannot be limited by descriptions.

\r\n

This love is the pinnacle in this matter; outside it are loves that tongues proclaim, that mankind claims and that minds prescribe.
