Sheikh al Islam Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله said,

"If a man is tested with falling in love, yet he maintains his chastity and bears that with patience, then he will be rewarded for fearing Allah."

[Majmoo' al-Fataawa 10/133]

رکھ لوں چھپا کے میں کہیں تجھ کو

سایہ بھی تیرا نہ میں دوں

I will hide you somewhere

I will not even give your shadow to anyone

You think you know love? All these posts on social media talking about the eagerness of getting married.

Are you ready to drop the delusion of what it entails? What many do not talk about is the importance of compromise. Compromise so much that it can lead to a death of your old identity. And this doesn't have to be bad. Some of us need to die. A darkness from our traumas that has integrated with our once pure personalities to make this current you. A soul overwhelmed with sin that the heart cannot differentiate between haram and halal . Life consuming and deen degrading for your significant other to even attempt to love . Almost symbiotic this poison until you realize radical change and the death of the old self is necessary. A death where one scorches every emotion tied to past events . Collecting ashes and ember to take to the graveyard and to never visit that grave again. So again, you speak of love.

Is your love greater than the demons you cling to? The sins you’re addicted to? The change to finally be a man? A responsible figurehead and patriarch of your woman? Or are all those Islamic reminders, mating calls?

There is no tomorrow. Today is the day for rebirth. Make the change.

I do not know how to be loved if it is soft and kind. I am not soft. I am not kind. I wake up in the middle of the night in a puddle of sweat, running from it all. If your love is fleeting, do not bore me with it. Do not torture me with maybe. Do not breeze by me on a winters day. Love me in your desperation. Obsessively and hopelessly. Love me fiercely, or do not love me at all.

— Hannah Green, ‘The liar, the widow and these empty four walls.’

Sometimes I can't believe how beautiful love is, you don't say I love you rather you send me a picture of a flower telling me how the flower reminded you of me and you just decided to capture it for the sake of bringing smile on my face. For me it's the language of love, articulating I love you in the simplest and most beautiful way :)

my best friend from my teenhood is now someone else’s best friend and it kills me a little. i still love her but she doesn’t want to know about my life anymore. and i’m getting older and forgetting intimate, tiny details about her, like the texture of her sandy hair, how her bedroom smells, the sound of her smooth laughter, what makes her tic and what ruins her. the sweetness of this love i still have kills me. every time you remind me you exist somewhere else, away from me, you’re pinching my veins together and forcing my blood to stop for a second. i see a book i think you’d like and i want to tear its body page by page, then burn it on the sun away from everything you know. and i thought we would love each other forever, we used to say so ourselves. now what? i’m just uselessly stuck here missing you and the ways you saw the world with your cunning, and i yearn hopelessly for another timeline where we are still best friends.

“You want a wife who feeds your stomach whereas the Prophet wants you to have a wife that feeds your soul. You want a husband who decorates your outer with jewellery, the Prophet wants you to have a husband who decorates your heart with love. صلى الله عليه و سلم”

— Shaykh Mohammed Aslam

in english we say: "i love you"

but in poetry we say: our souls were meant to meet in this world, and in the next one. / you are my first thought when i see the moon. / i would chase the sunset for you.

Not everyone who talks to you is destined to be your soulmate. Don't hold such high expectations that this person can be your soulmate, and start making romantic gestures for them before Nikkah. You'll only end up with regret when you realize this isn't what was planned. Don't open your heart, your body, and your soul to just anyone. No non-Mahram deserves such pure intimacy unless they get married to you intentionally, willfully, and consciously.

أخواتي

No man except your father, brother and husband is trustworthy.

Giving random men access to you is like digging your own grave.

Every rule is there for a reason and it's befitting for us.

Set boundaries for how and why you interact with men.

Allah calls Himself Al-Musawwir— The Fashioner, The Bestower of Forms— on one occasion in the Quran. He is the One who forms and shapes all that exists. Al-Musawwir gave everything its own distinct shape and inclination or desire – despite the great variety of the creation – every single creature is unique!

The Shaper, The Fashioner, The Bestower of Forms

Musawwir comes from the root saad-waw-raa, which points to three main meanings. The first main meaning is to make something incline, lean, or bend, and the second is to form, fashion, sculpt, imagine, or picture something. The third main meaning is to have an inclination or desire towards something.

This root appears 19 times in the Quran in five derived forms. Examples of these forms are wasawwarakum (“and He formed you”), as-soori (“the trumpet”), and sooratin (“form”).

Linguistically, khaaliq, baari’, and musawwir are interrelated in meaning and deal with the aspects of Allah ‘azza wa jall as Creator; all the rest is creation. Al-Musawwir bestows forms and not by way of copying— He is far above that. Al-Musawwir says Be! and it is, with the attributes and the form that He has chosen for it. He does what He wills and creates what He wills in the form that He wills.

Al-Musawwir Himself says: He is Allah, the Creator, the Inventor, the Fashioner; to Him belong the best names. Whatever is in the heavens and earth is exalting Him. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise. [Quran, 59:24]

The Relation of Al-Khaaliq, Al-Baari’ and Al-Musawwir

In Surah al-Hashr, Al-Musawwir’ is mentioned after al-Khaaliq (The Creator, The Maker) and al-Baari’ (The Originator). Some scholars have said that in this ayah the attribute of creation refers specifically to Allah’s determination of what He creates, so it comes first.
The name Al-Baarī’ refers to the creative act of bringing about what Allah wills to create. Finally, the name Al-Musawwir (the Fashioner) refers to giving each created thing its particular form. So Allah decrees what He creates, brings it into existence, and specifies its particular, unique form.

Scholars also have differentiated between these three names as follows: Al-Khaaliq is the One Who created from nothing all creatures that exist, according to their decreed qualities. Al-Baari’ is the One Who made man from al-baraa, i.e., clay. Al-Musawwir is the One Who creates various forms and shapes. So al-Khaaliq is a general word, al-Baari’ is more specific and al-Musawwir is even more specific [Kitaab Sharh Asmaa’ Allaah ta’aala al-Husnaa, Dr. Hissah al-Sagheer].

How Can You Live by This Name?

1. Be happy with how al-Musawwir shaped you.
We live in a time of cosmetic surgery; if you don’t like how you look, you can change yourself with a medical procedure. Allah ‘azza wa jall says: He it is who shapes you in the wombs as He pleases. There is no god but He, the Mighty, the Wise. [Quran, 3:6] Be content with how Al-Musawwir shaped you by His ultimate wisdom. For example, if we were as beautiful as the Prophet Yuusuf ‘alayhi salam, would we be able to withstand the temptations he faced? When you look at yourself in the mirror, say Alhamdulillah. If Shaytan tempts you to complain about any of your facial or body features, remember those who are blind, sick, or disabled.

2. Reflect on beautiful shapes.
Allah ‘azza wajal says: Then We made the seed a clot, then We made the clot a lump of flesh, then We made (in) the lump of flesh bones, then We clothed the bones with flesh, then We caused it to grow into another creation, so blessed be Allah, the best of the creators. [Quran, 23:14] Everything you see around us is proof of Allah’s existence. To please your senses, He designed flowers, trees, fruits, and even cows and sheep, etc. to have very appealing shapes. Amazingly, when it comes to outside your range of normal vision, the mosquitoes, bees, and other insects are very terrifying to look at. He ensured that you live a pleasant life, so thank Al-Musawwir for the blessings of beautiful shapes to look at.

3. Live up to your potential!
Know your position. Indeed, We have created the human being upon the best of forms. [Quran, 95: 4] Al-Musawwir created and formed you with a particular brain, heart, face, and limbs, which differentiate us from the animals. How do you use them? You will be questioned on the Day of Judgment as to how you use your hearing, your sight, and your hearts. So use these faculties to do as many good deeds as you can and don’t use them to harm yourself or others by sinning, nor by going to forbidden places.

4. Worship Al-Musawwir alone.
Allah ‘azza wa jall alone deserves your worship. This is the Creation of Allah. Now show me that which those (you worship) beside Him have created. Nay, but the wrong-doers are in manifest error! [Quran, 31:11] Remember this ayah when you feel tempted to turn to others for your desires instead of to Al-Musawwir.

5. Ask Al-Musawwir.
Is not He Who created the heavens and the earth able to create the like of them? Yes Indeed! and He is the Superb Creator (of all), the Ever-Knowing. Surely His Command, when He wills a thing, is only to say to it: ‘Be!’ and it is! Therefore glory be to Him in Whose hand is the Kingdom of all things, and to Him you shall be brought back. [Quran, 36:82-83].
Al-Musawwir perfected everything you see around you; don’t you think He can solve all your problems? So remember when you supplicate: nothing is impossible for al-Musawwir.

O Allah, Al-Musawwir, we know that You are the One who forms the whole creation. Make us of the shaakireen (the grateful ones) for our own forms and the shapes around us, help us ponder Your creations and ask You at all times. Make us of those who use the blessings you gave us for good, and make us witness the beautiful shapes of Paradise, ameen!

And Allah knows best.
