What is Love?

What is love?

Is love just an emotion;

a fleeting feeling?

Or is love more than but what a heart feels?

Love is to endure sleepless nights so your child sleeps peacefully,

Love is working day and night to provide for your family,

Love is the man of your dreams, a man of deen,

Love is a bird that guards her eggs under her smooth, soft wings,

Love is caring for an orphan and her young siblings,

Love is a warm kiss on the cheek of a new born baby.

Love.

Love is placing your forehead on the ground; a love story only those who pray will feel,

Love is lifting your blanket just before dawn, a feeling so surreal,

Love is the feeling of thirst and hunger on a long summer’s day,

Love is helping your fellow Muslim, going out your way,

Love is tears that fall from your eyes whenever you hear His name,

Love is shouting Takbeer to a fellow new-muslim,

Love is standing feet to feet, shoulder to shoulder under the dusky night sky,

Love is dreaming of Jannah, under the shade of a huge tree will you lie,

Love is gazing at the Kaab’ah and whispering a sincere Praise,

Love is walking into Madinah, fixed is your gaze,
