💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Three main differences between love for Allah's sake
And having a crush on someone whom you can't obtain,
Some ways to distinguish between love that isn't fake
And feelings of attraction that often go away
When one discovers that one's crush doesn't feel the same:
~•~
When it comes to crushes, you want to ensure always
That you seem "perfect" in your looks, what you do and say.
In contrast, when some love you truly for Allah's sake,
They accept your flaws, help without forcing you to change,
And your true self doesn't disgust them in any way.
~•~
When around your crushes, your heart quickly palpitates,
You get nervous or tense, while some body parts may shake.
Contrary to that, when you love some for Allah's sake,
You feel at peace in their presence, and when they're away
You miss them and smile, praying you'll reunite someday.
~•~
When a crush does something hurtful, you can't concentrate,
And when they've been absent, you're easy to irritate.
On the other hand, when you love some for Allah's sake,
You easily give them excuse, forgive their mistakes,
And pardon their late replies, moodiness, and delays.
~•~
Having a crush on someone can take just a few days,
And you forget them once another crush comes your way,
Or infatuation dies when you're tired of heartbreaks.
As for truly loving a Muslim for Allah's sake,
Even after they've died, your love loyally remains.
