true love

True love… is self-less.

Giving ….without expecting anything in return.

such a love (if one possessed it)

could even be given to those who wrong or hate you

since your giving would not be based on reciprocation

(i.e. unaffected by whatever they gave you back in return…or didn't….or took)

If you want to see this selfless love

look at a mother with her child

God’s Messenger (saas) said,

"Your mother carried you for nine months in her womb, than gave you birth. After that she gave up her sleep for your sleep, suckled you, carried you in her arms, and cleaned you. For years she cooked for you, fed you, and served you food. She did your laundry. When you were forty, fifty, sixty, she still followed your progress with interest. Your father sowed you in your mother's womb, provided your food, and made sure you had clothes to wear. Can this be compared with your mother's role?"

…

Someone said:

"Well, I wonder if I could ever repay my mother for all the help and service, however much I might do for her?

God’s Messenger (saas) said:

"You could not repay so much as one night's due!"

"But suppose I carry my mother on my back for years, clean up after her, cook for her, and feed her. Suppose I attend to those same services as long as she may live?"

"There will still be this difference between you: your mother looked out for you to live, while you are waiting for her to die."

It doesn't mean love EVERYONE who hates you

But

True Love would be given EVEN if the person you CHOSE to give it to hates you

Cos it's not dependent on them at all...its not about getting anything in return

Like a mother's love for her child

If a child hates her mother

And causes her pain etc 

She still loves them

🌷

And now remember
God loves us more than a mother loves her child
and He nurtures and provides for us without hoping for payment
In fact, He offers to pay us - to reward us - so long as we do whats best for humanity and ourselves

If we love Him
then we should still love Him
even if He revealed that there was no such thing as paradise and hell
and that after death we would cease to exist
we should still love HIm
just because
He is Allah
our Nurturing Lord
