What is the philosophy of love?

When a person wakes up in the morning, he should think a little that God Almighty has given me a new life today and has given me a new capital. It was possible for me to die while I was asleep. “Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.” (Zumar: 42) At the time of sleep, God takes all souls, but those who have not yet reached the end, their souls He returns again. It should be noted that waking up is a blessing from God and a new capital that has been given to him, with which he can achieve happiness in this world and the hereafter, or the loss and cruelty of this world and the hereafter. Achieved. After pondering about this, he has to bet on himself, which is called “contract”. That is, he bets with himself and decides to avoid sin.
It is on the basis of this betting and contracting that he abstains from all sins during that day and fulfills all the obligations that he performs. It is as if the human soul is like a partner in front of it. He gives him a capital to trade with and bets him that with this capital, you should make a profit and not make a loss! This contract with the soul has a psychological effect that man can pay more attention to his duties during the day and not be neglected.

After “meditation”, it is time for “meditation”. Meditation is also a term derived from narrations and prayers. In the prayers of Sha’baniyah, it is stated: “Fakun Lak is a mystic and deviates from Swak and Monk is afraid.” When he bets with himself and decides to avoid sin and do the obligatory things and to always take care of himself during the day, he is like an employer who takes care of his work to do things right. We should all watch over ourselves during the day so that there is no slipping and deviating from the path of obedience and worship of God.

After meditation, it is “calculation”. When a person wants to sleep at night, he has to think for a moment about his daily behavior and remember one by one what he has done from morning to that time and take into account his own self; Like the owner of a capital who counts on the agent of Mudaraba or his partner. He should take care of the work of all his members and associates, whether they have done their duties well or have violated it? If everyone has been in the line of servitude, thank God that he has given him such success that one day he will obey. He should forgive and if he has violated and slipped, he should ask for forgiveness and make up for it before it is too late.
It is narrated that when a believer makes a mistake, the angels who are in charge of writing down his deeds wait for a while, if he repents, they do not write anything, and if he does not repent, then they record his mistake. In any case, if a slip has penetrated him, he should seek forgiveness that night. If he has left the obligation, he should fulfill his rules. If he has violated someone’s right, he should compensate it and settle his account.
These three things, namely the decision at the beginning of the day, the monitoring during the day, and the calculation of the end of the night, are present in all stages of the journey, but their levels and severity and weakness are different, which we will mention.
Performing duties and abstaining from taboos is a condition for success in rational conduct
So the first step is to take care of one’s duties and abstain from forbidden things. At this stage, it is not necessary to pay much attention to the mustahabb. He should make an effort to perform his duties well and not to commit any sins or slips. Of course, this does not mean that he should leave all the mustahabb, but he can replace the mustahabb to which he is accustomed or easy to perform. Brought. The most important thing in the stage of meditation is to perform the duties and abstain from the prohibitions correctly so that the queen of piety will be obtained for her and she will become accustomed to performing the obligatory duties as well as forsaking her sins. It should not be that there is a need for reflection and the decision to leave any sin.
All believers must pass this stage and it is a prelude to the mystical journey and entering the valley of love; For as long as man is afflicted with sin, every effort in the way of worshiping God will have little effect on him, and it is just like the pocket of a hole from which whatever money is poured out of it. Sins destroy deeds. Bad morals, such as jealousy, resentment, and suspicion, melt faith. “Envy or faith is like the fire of fire.”
In the narrations, we have people who are afflicted with the sin of absenteeism or some other sins. If a sin is committed against them, their worship will not be accepted for forty days. And it will not have the effect it should have on the soul. Observance of piety and fulfillment of duties and abandonment of prohibitions is also a condition for success in the next stages of life and conduct.
Leave the suspicions
After the Queen of Piety has reached this level, it is time for a higher level than the level of meditation. Until now, he has been trying to do his duty, but this time, he is trying to leave the doubts.
Suspicions are deeds that man is not sure of being sinful, but they are suspicious of sin, that is, he is exposed to sin. In the beginning, because he is not sure, he may not have any obligation to avoid it, but after performing the action, he realizes that he has done forbidden things. So the next step is to avoid suspicion.
The role of mustahabb in behavior
The next step is to do what is recommended and leave the abominable as much as he can and include these matters in his meditation program. Of course, the chapter of mustahabb is very wide, and if a person spends all day and night doing istihabs, he will not be able to do all of them again, so in this regard, a choice must be made and time, power and priorities must be considered.
Moreover, today, when our Islamic country needs to be rebuilt, we have so much obligatory duty that sometimes it is not the turn of the recommended ones, but there are also recommended ones that do not interfere with the obligatory deeds; For example, praying at the first time is a mustahabb that has been emphasized a lot.
Praying in the first place is one of the greatest mustahabb. One of the great men and professors of ethics had said that if someone commits to perform his obligatory prayers in the first place, I guarantee that he will attain very high positions in mysticism.
Another of this mustahabb is observing the presence of the heart in prayer. This is a mustahabb that does not require extra time but increases the quality of worship a hundredfold.
Another of this mustahabb is to observe politeness in the presence of parents. Among the elders, there were those who did not sit in their presence until their parents gave them permission. These are mustahabb that do not require extra time. It is also a mustahabb that takes time. How good it is for a person to consult with his teacher and moral teacher about the choice of these mustahabb, and among the many mustahabb that have been included, such as reciting the Qur’an, daily nawafil, especially night nafilah, some dhikr, especially the four glorifications, and the honorable dhikr اللا الله », prayers of the day, morning and evening prayers, weekly prayers and the like, select some; Of course, all of this is good, but depending on the individual, some of them may have a preference.

What is emphasized in the noble narrations is the existence of a plan of worship, which we must persevere in carrying out, otherwise, it will not have the effect it should have.
Insufficient principles, several narrations have been narrated that emphasize the persistence of the act of worship, even if it is small. Narrations on this subject: “Persistence in the action of the few is better than the action of the many.” In short, what is emphasized in the course of action is that we must first select programs that are easy and we can persevere.
It should not be the case that he performs an action for two days and cannot continue it the next day. She must continue to do so until she becomes queen. The sign of becoming a queen is that if she accidentally abandons that deed, she will be upset. It has been narrated from the Holy Prophet that he said: “A good deed brings a special habit to the believer, so that if one day that deed is done “If he does not do it, he will be upset and it seems that he has lost something or committed a sin.”

So far it has been a matter of action, what to do, and what to leave. After this, it is the turn of a higher stage, which of course is accompanied by meditation, meditation, and calculation. At this stage, more attention should be paid to the heart and heart intentions. When the human soul and body were strengthened in the way of performing their duties and abstaining from forbidden things, so that no deviation or slip from any member ever occurred and piety became the queen, in fact, the mystical journey begins from here. ; Because what is related to action is also issued from human beings who are very weak in knowledge. What is more mystical is the deeds of the human heart. The beginning of this stage is for man to adorn his deeds with pure intention. He should start from the duties and try not to be hypocritical in any of the duties he performs;
The seeker must purify his intention in committing and abandoning prohibitions; Of course, this is a difficult task, but it is possible. Each stage of the journey is more difficult than the previous one, but it will be easy and pleasant with the grace that God Almighty has for His servant. If a person perseveres in the early stages and comes out of the tests proud, God will give him such joy and pleasure that if one day, a good deed is left to him, he will be very upset and disappointed.

In order for man to be able to purify his intention, he must prepare and pay attention; Because the pure intention is not something that man can achieve immediately whenever he wants. One who likes to be loved by the people and respected by all, whether he likes it or not, has a flawed intention. A person can have pure intentions in deeds that he has no love of place and in order to avoid hypocrisy, he must perform his duties in secret as much as possible; Of course, there are slippery slopes here. Some people no longer attend congregational prayers when they want to perform their worship in secret. The reason is that we want to pray in private so as not to be hypocritical. These are the traps of the devil. Must attend congregational prayers and Friday prayers. With the excuse that I am afraid of being hypocritical, we should not be deceived by Satan and disobey God’s commands.

One of the instructions that are very useful and effective at this stage is to try to make Anas with the human heart. If we do something to satisfy our carnal desires, it is because we are interested in that materially pleasurable work, or when we do something for the sake of our friend, it is because he loves us. We are interested. When a person can do something for the sake of which God loves it, that instead of these loves, he puts the love of God in his heart, we read in the prayers of Sha’baniya: “God does not do anything about the transgression of your sins except At the time of your love for your love »God! I could not stop sinning unless you awakened my heart with your love. When a ray of your love fell on my heart, it became easy for me to avoid sin. If a man can increase the love of God in his heart, all problems and difficulties will be easy for him.
If a man falls in love with God, it will not be difficult for him not only to wake up in the morning. But as a popular visit, it will be enjoyable. What could be more enjoyable for a person who loves someone than to sit and talk to him in private? If a particle of divine love falls into a person’s heart, there is nothing more pleasing to him than to open the way to the beloved at dawn, when all eyes are asleep, all doors are closed and everywhere is closed. In order for God’s love to appear in man’s heart, he must know and think about the blessings that God has bestowed on man. Millions of blessings that if one of them were given to him by a human being, he would be grateful for the rest of his life.

In short, the condition for lasting love is the knowledge of God and fellowship with Him. The love that remains lasting between two human beings cannot be achieved with one encounter and one look; Rather, this love will last when there is the friendship between them.
The love of God is more or less in everyone’s heart. How can he not love God? Does he have something he does not like? Whatever can be the criterion of love is infinitely present in him. Therefore, in order for the seeds of love to grow and remain stable in the heart of every Muslim, he must become acquainted with God.
