Key for Pure Love is 'Love Allah'

"Do not love the one who doesn't love Allah, If they can leave Allah they will leave you" (Imam Shafee'i)

...

True indeed.

For those who are seeking for a pure and eternal love, should you seek for Allah's love FIRST.

Only then you seek for the person who loves Allah.

And so you found Him/Her, both of you will live in the serenity of being in peace of love and happiness here and after. Insya Allah.

They key is --- Love Allah.

You Love Allah.

He or She Love Allah.

You and Him/Her will love each other with the purest love on earth ever.

But,

If one of you start to leave Allah and walk alone without loving HIM, the love will leave you. You may think that you still love each other, but it soon will break on its own, since it has lost the key which is most needed in your love story. It is as simple as that.

... 

How to Love Allah?

Do what HE order you to do. Leave what HE orders you to leave. Make most of your life path as HE pleased with it.

HE asks you to pray, so pray.

HE asks you to be good to your parents, so be good.

HE asks you to be gentle to other human being, so be gentle.

HE asks you to follow Prophet Muhammad s.a.w path, so follow it.

HE ask you to do Da'wah for so many human still don't recognize Allah's existence, so do it, don't ever leave it.

HE asks you to be wise in judging path to choose, so be wise.

HE asks you to be patient in all tests, so be patient.

HE asks you to leave zina, alcohol and gambling, uncontentious bloodshed, so leave it.

HE asks you to be fair, stand on your feet, keep strong and don't become weak to face others, so be it.

And more of it, where you should seek.. HE sent all HIS messages to you in a Great LOVE LETTER via HIS beloved messenger Muhammad s.a.w, which is Al-Quran, so that you will not forget HIM and HIS love for you.

The more you love HIM, the easier you will do all those above. Deeper love would give you strength to wake up in the middle of night and make a date with HIM in your tahajjud prayer. So sweet~

...

 How to ensure that He/ She love Allah too? Seems like it is hard to make choice?

Be clear with your target. Be focus in your criteria. At least you should have two criteria to make decision. For example, He/She should be a good son/daughter, responsible to his/her parent and must be engaged to da'wah. Both criteria would show that He/She love Allah or learn to love Allah. Only then you take further step to know He/She deeper. Utilize the medium allowed by Islam. You may ask his/her parent directly or else you may ask his/ her closed friends and relatives about him/her. Digg and digg on, make efforts on it dude. If possible to contact him/her in person so do it, as long as you are not doing over the religion border. If you want to meet, make sure there is your and his/ her mahram with you. You are still not yet deciding to choose he/her so don't make him/her hoping too much for you because it would hurt both of you guys if it happen that you are not going to choose him/her later. More important is don't over judging. Open your heart to learn and know him/her more. Be patient; don't expect perfectness because you are not perfect either. Then, make Istikharah prayer, ask for Allah's guidance. If you have see the path, then take further action, either to propose him/her or let him/her go.

Along the way to build your baitul muslim, please don't forget to hold tight the key of love, 'Love Allah'

...Piece of sharing...

When I was still in ta'aruf (introduction) period with my fiancee [now he has become my beloved husband, (^_^)], we once facing quite a hard time. As I can simplify here, my family is not as religious, they want a simple future son in law who can take care of their daughter with so much concern. My fiancee, he is good in many ways especially his communication style with my mom. She is the first person who speak with him, neither me myself nor the other members of family have speak to him personally before engagement except her. The first time she spoke to him, she already likes him much and from her testimonial (if I can say so) I got more confident to further my istikharah and istisyarah for him. But then, when it comes to da'wah, my mom suggests that he should stop from it. Since from her opinion, da'wah would steal much of time from family and her worry too much that if I marry him, her daughter will be neglected in future. I try to explain to my family that da'wah is not as what as they think and I am understand what is da’wah all about. Without da'wah effort from all Muslims, human will never know Islam. As time goes by, I became weaker to explain more to them. I felt that they will never understand and I don' want to bother my fiancee. Thinking that he got better choices than me, I decided to tell him that we should stop.

::my text message to him::

me: i don't think that i could explain better to my family. i am so sorry, it is my weakness. if one day you need to make a choice between me and da'wah, please choose da'wah. you have better choices than me out there. i'll pray for your happiness here and after.

(i'm sending this message with tears inside..hu hu..well, i am not sure whether i love him but one thing i am sure is i already like him at that time~)  

I like him because I can feel that he love Da'wah and Islam. From there I know that he love Allah. If he loves Allah, for sure he will be a loving husband to his wife. 

With Allah's will, he makes his own effort to explain to my family. I never expected that he would go that far. And yes, from his act he has make me like him more, (^_^).

After 12 months knowing each other, we only meet 2 times (1st time is during his visits to my house and 2nd time is during our engagement day). Third time meeting is on our wedding day! (^_^). Alhamdulillah a'la kulli haal.

Now.. I am so worry..

After marriage, we are so in love to each other. It has become so hard for us to wake up for tahajjud prayer because there's someone hugging you beside and it make you want to sleep more..hu hu..

I worry my love to Allah will fade, I worry his love to Allah will fade. But we keep praying for each other so that Allah shows us HIS guidance in every steps. O Allah, don't make us swerve away from the path that you pleased. Aameen.
Thank you Allah, for your love that you granted us, it is a really great pleasure and serenity. 

الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَتَطْمَئِنُّ قُلُوبُهُم بِذِكْرِ‌ اللَّـهِ ۗ أَلَا بِذِكْرِ‌ اللَّـهِ تَطْمَئِنُّ الْقُلُوبُ 

"Those who have believed and whose hearts are assured by the remembrance of Allah. Unquestionably, by the remembrance of Allah hearts are assured."(Surah Ar-Ra'd: 28)

Along this journey, we will hold tight to the key for our love to each other which is 'Love Allah'. In hoping that we will meet each other in Jannah as lovers..Again.. Insya Allah. 

Q'A:

Serenity is a breeze from heaven which is poured into the hearts of faithful men and women.. Could you imagine how great the serenity for lovers who loving with Allah's name in each heartbeat?  (^_~)
