Love…………………”Self-sacrifice for the sake of beloved”
Hard to believe, hunn, but it is true. If you give it just a stressed thought you will find the truth, that there is always an act of love behind each and every act of self-sacrifice, and the highest attribution of ‘love’………..self-sacrifice is FANA FILLALLAH, to finish own-self for the sake of love for Allah, (this is another branch of Sufisim).
Self-sacrifice is the noblest trait in human character. Giving up of one’s own interests for the sake of others glorifies man. When a man falls in love, and if he has the interest to get something in return, it is not love, it is expectation without knowing what the other guy is up to, whether he/she thinks in the same way or not. This knits the net of doubt whether there is any love or not. Parents sacrifice their comforts for the same of their children, because they love their children, without having expectations from them. (especially in these days, where they know that the kids will become independent as soon as they reach their adulthood), but still they love the kids, and put their own interest aside…………only for they love them.
Soldiers sacrifice themselves for their country, patriots and reformer sacrifice themselves for freedom and truth, because they love their country, the freedom and the ‘truth’. Otherwise there would have been discomfort, utter chaos which would make peace and progress impossible, but the love of country and nation makes it possible.
Finishing own-self for the sake of love of Allah, exalts man and in return he gets the ‘nearness’ of the ‘Esteemed Beloved”. Means to get glorification in every aspect of life is to ‘finish own-self’.
The seed is sown in the ground, but unless it loses itself the crop will not grow. A seed is glorified in the shape of crop when it finishes itself. In the same way from one act of sacrifice (love) spring peace, happiness and harmony.
So my friends do fall in love, but to give, not to take…………….you will find the sweet fragrance of life……………the true love.
