a means to get to an end

bismillahirrahmanirrahim,

assalamualaikum wrb,


alhamdulillah, all praises and thanks belong to Allah, al Ghafur al Wadud.. greetings and salutations upon Rasulullah SAW.

i'm definitely not one who qualifies to talk about love. but somehow somewhat this topic has been up in the air for sooooo many of us, it's that age they say, hardyharhar. 

i guess love isn't about a man in a shining armor. it's probably not about his handsome and dashing style either. it maybe isn't the way he looks into your eyes too (um hello LYG?! as in lower. your. gaze! except if he was your husband!). there are a lot of things the fantasy world built up on what love is but really, it aint all of that. and we're all growing up to realize so. 

there are a lot of things that i don't know about love. and as much others think that falling in love many times have taught them about love, until we discover that love is not an end, rather a means... we may have a longer road to travel. 

i know very little. but oh well... here's to what i think love is... to love someone only because... he's led you to love the One Above more... the one who despite your flaws teaches you to have hope on the Most Merciful... the one who will raise our child in His path only to increase our ranks in His sight in the Hereafter... the one who will remind you away from your distractions and show you how to get to our ultimate destination... the one whose presence, wisdom, knowledge, love, character and heart only makes you feel closer to al Wadud... the source of all love ;') 

and don't fool ourselves into thinking that we are going to get this love before or outside marriage... no matter how much we think that beauty, intellect and whatsoever else shall take us to a little thing called love... have we forgotten that Allah says...

"(Lazimnya) perempuan-perempuan yang jahat adalah untuk lelaki-lelaki yang jahat, dan lelaki-lelaki yang jahat untuk perempuan-perempuan yang jahat; dan (sebaliknya) perempuan-perempuan yang baik untuk lelaki-lelaki yang baik, dan lelaki-lelaki yang baik untuk perempuan-perempuan yang baik. Mereka (yang baik) itu adalah bersih dari (tuduhan buruk) yang dikatakan oleh orang-orang (yang jahat); mereka (yang baik) itu akan beroleh pengampunan (dari Allah) dan pengurniaan yang mulia." (an Nur:26)

to fall in love with someone only to fall in love with You more, is the end. insyaAllah wa biiznillah...

astaghfirullah astaghfirullah astaghfirullah..

wassalam
