Ibn al-Qayim (may Allah have mercy on him) said: “Love knows no boundaries. Boundaries are nothing but to prevent love from existing. Love is only manifested through love. People are only to mention its causes, factors, signs, evidence, benefits and rulings. Therefore, their logic about love is based on these six pillars where everyone differs in expressing his concept according to his/her perception, position, conditions and fluency”
There are many definitions of love as follows:
- Heart inclination in [loving Allah].
- Preferring the beloved [Allah] over all other things.
- Consistency with the beloved in his presence and absence.
