The ABCs of Life

Narrated Anas: The Prophet said, “None of you will have faith till he wishes for his (Muslim) brother what he likes for himself.” (Book #2, Hadith #12)

It’s Friday, lovely Jum’ah. My favourite day of the week, of the month, of the year…of the rest of time! Jum’ah is a day to love, to come to the congregation, greet, meet and spread love. Loving God and God’s creations.

Love Q #4:

Is it really better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all?

Ok, here’s another LoveQ for this week. It was up on Wednesday and I’m just trying to catch up. Can’t spend much time on this so please bear with my short answers peeps! (Especially Madam Audrey dear ;))

1- Not to love is inhuman, and rarely the heart chooses in loving.

2- Birth, death, meeting people and separation is part and parcel of life and love. You need to understand that life and love come in this package. So love but be prepare to lose and live on, for nothing is yours…everything is His! And there’s too many wonderful things in life not to be missed and be thankful of over than some that you might lose.

3- Life is a test, and it is way too risky to lose your senses in love. But to let risks hinder you from living and loving would be devastating. It’s better to lose live than lose humanity. Should a loving heart surrender to losing? Love grows and the world should benefit from it, not just one man that might even be so blind or selfish.

4- That’s why marriage is important in Islam and other religions. You shouldn’t simply give your heart away (what more other than that) to a person who’s least interested in being responsible for it. Marriage might not last but at least it is a symbol of love, trust, and responsibility shared and cared by two human beings. It’s a life contract to many, though divorce might occur…At least we’ve first love with honour and responsibility.

5- Worldly love is temporary, God’s love, loving Him and loving others because of Him is a journey to eternity.

You might disagree if you wish, these are simply my own perspectives very much influenced by knowledge and belief. If you decide to join in answering, don’t forget to link up and read other answers from Mae and JM.

Have a nice weekend everyone.
