What is love?

I would love to share this blog to all of  you even i didnt ask him,Ahmed (the one i love who wrote this blog for me) You can feel his love and also you can improve your english.

This one I dedicate to my beloved.

"When you love you should not say, 'God is in my heart," but rather, I am in the heart of God.' And think not you can direct the course of love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course. Love has no other desire but to fulfil itself... " - excerpt from 'The Prophet', by Kahlil Gibran.

"Before you, my life was like a moonless night. Very dark but there were stars- points of light and reason. ...And then you shot across my sky like a meteor. Suddenly there was fire; there was brilliancy, there was beauty. When you were gone, the meteor had fallen over the horizon, everything went black. Nothing had changed, but my eyes were blinded by the light. I couldn't see the stars anymore. And there was no more reason for anything."

But you habibi, are like a brilliant light that never fades... No, not some distant light, but a light within me, and I within you. We are that light, we are the world.

What is love? How can we define love? Should we try? How do we find love? When do we find it? When do we know that we have it? Is it real? lol About everyone have asked these questions before. Some have turned up with nothing, even to the extent of disbelieving in love. Some have found some peices of the puzzle and ceased to move on. Others are satisfied with their own explanations of love. But what really is love?

If I can do something for another, and that person can do something for me, is that love? No, I don't think so.That is simply a form of companionship... It goes much deeper than that. So whats love? Some people say that love is simply a physiological feeling. lol No way. Any learned soul knows we are more than just flesh and bone, etc. How many times have you felt something which was true. Or maybe someone is looking at you and you return the glance not knowing why you looked. How often did you know who was calling you, with no caller ID? lol How many times did you think what another has thought. Or spoke without words... etc... How many 'coincidences' happened in your life. How many times did you simpy 'know' something. When did you start searching for the meaning of your life? How much has God pushed you on? How much did you seek? How hard did you knock? Did you find what you were looking for? All these are meaningful also in what love is.

It is said that one can not speak Truth. Not truth with a lowercase 't', which simply means a 'fact'. Facts are not truths. Facts change. For example. it may be a fact that I used to eat things I shouldn't, but the Truth is that I did not know better, so that is not me. Understand? The facts change, but the Truth ever remains the same. The Truth is that I am a soul, and not the sum of my experiences. If we have Truth within us, that's not complete in itself. To know something, to even be something is a fact. But to actually Be something, the total of who I am, the actually walking of the path of who I am, is what Truth is. If we know something, that is one thing, to apply something, that is who we are. You are what you do. Surely we can refine ourselves, just as we can refine our habits. What I wanted to show you is that Love is the fulfilment of Truth, not a totally different thing. There isn't one without the other. Love doesn't start in the physical, but it can materialize/ crystalize etc... TRUE love is the actually walking of the path and is what Truth is. It fulfils it. A reflection of this is that there must be 100% trust in any relatioship. Reflect on these things.

I don't know exactlyhow to answer 'What is love'. The best thing is to lead by example. So listen... if you feel that you can't live without that person, that you feel week and yet strong at the same time you can't be angry with that person for sure you love them. You think they are perfect, and there is no one else for you. If no one else matters to you except them. I can't solve this mystery of why I feel thi way, but I can tell u what it is. something they say or do may hurt you at first but in the end you feel purified, refreshed and ur love only grows stronger for them. You feel incomplete without them. Maybe you feel all of emotions mixed together. Whatever they do soon becomes the perfect thing. You can't be away from that person for long without missing them. Even when you are with them you somewhat miss them or when you know that you will have to part even for a short time. When they are hurt you feel the pain, or when happy you feel their joy. You often have the same thoughts or think the same. They are your inspiration. They are your world. If something hurt or upset u just think deeply..u love them? u trust them? then no need to mention or be like that. Love is for our growth, but it also for our pruning. Understand self sacrifice? Know yourself deeper by knowing your beloved? I want to show you that there is no coincidence in true love/truth-love. Everyone has their other half, and God will direct you to him or her.

Some years ago, I had a dream. In my dream, I was married to a wonderful woman. I was walking up ther stairs inside the house and awaiting me at the top of the staircase was my beloved, and I felt great love for me emanating from her. Ever since I had that dream, I saught for this one.

Two years later I met a wonderful girl. From the moment I saw her, I knew that she was special. I also noticed something very different about her. For one thing, I was always bored if I could not talk to her. She thought that she was boring haha she was my joy! She didn't know this though (or did she, somewhere deep down?) Also we loved the same things, and had the same tastes. We thought the same, and even had the same thoughts at the same time. Whenever she was sad, I would be sad. Whenever she was hurt, I was hurt from that knoweldge. When she was happy, I would be happy from her happiness. Also, we seemed to feel the same things at the same time, or feel what the other was feeling. Another thing... I could never forget her, and she seemed very very special. My love for her would grow and grow, until the point where I was 100% taken by her. lol I had to let my feelings be know. Masha'Allah, she felt the same!

To me, love is not simply one heart in two bodies, but also one heart and one soul. Now it is like I have some sort of sickness that makes me whole and well. LOL I can't stop thinking of her, I miss her, I love her. I constantly thank God for her. Without her I am half of a man. She pushes me on to greatness. My love is one big prayer. I feel like an ever-green tree! When I see her, it's like I have found the most precious jewel. a diamond, a prism... When I hear her voice, its like im swept away by a tidal wave into ocean upon ocean where the water is very clear that you can see the bottom, even wave upon wave,and there is no danger in tha tocean and one can not drown, and the light shines through seems from an eternal source, it boucing off of each wave, light upon light upon light. There is so much more to this, but I better save that for another blog. Insha'Allah! (GOD Willing!)

I thank GOD deeply for this!

Love is like a vine. There is the root which comes from a source we can not fully understand or contemplate. It comes from GOD. One can't talk Truth, only experience it. It then grows as vibrating life in faith, and branches off into a vine of trust, and from that trust the shimmering leaves of hope and then the ripe fruits of love bearing seed! Now I feel like a fully blossoming man!

Again, I thank GOD deeply for this!!!

"To be in love... however briefly... is to be truly wonderfully alive! Never to have loved is to leave the map of your soul uncharted... unexplored. But be aware before embarking on your hearts voyage of discovery, that their will be stormy seas and troubled waters before you reach the island paradise of your dreams. You can not know the ecstasies of loving without having suffered its agonies. Only when you have waited cold and lonely through the hours of night, will you truly savor the morning sun, feeling its warmth caress your body. And before you can fly like an eagle, high and free in the endless blue sky, you must know what it is to be helpless, hopeless, lost and grounded. But oh! Be not afraid of love! Be ready! Be always ready! And when the spirit of true love comes to you, embrace him! Embrace him unashamedly! Let him posses you, body and soul, and he will take you to places you have never even imagined; and you will feel in every fiber of you being as you've never felt before! Allow yourself to be happy and acknowledge that you are. Cherish each and every moment for they will never come again... Time rushes by for lovers and the simple gesture of today is the treasured memory of tomorrow. Give and receive freely. Remember... you are blessed to be loved, but doubly blessed when you love in return!" - 'Loving' by Phil Coulter & Roma Downey

Love is our momentum in The Righteous Way.

And to my habeebee... I love you.
