Love is the most common, if not abused, word. As a result we can hardly identify the true meaning of love because when one is fond of a certain thing, place, person or anything that he likes most, he then directly associates it with the word "LOVE". what does love really mean?

Love is not just a mere feeling of doing something good but it goes further than feeding the hungry and clothing the undressed. It means warmth, intimacy, open-heartedness and the overwhelming generosity of heart and spirit. It means a desire to know and a courageous willingness to be known. Love implies commitment to other persons, involvement with the person's life whatever it may cost him. Our society desperately needs warmth of contact and intimacy.

Everyone who has fallen in love had this desire of giving something, anything and everything just to make the beloved happy. Love doesn't end here; one must also take the risk of losing and being hurt. When one decides not to fall in love so as not to be hurt, then that person is a coward.

True love withstands all problems, trials, pain and get stronger through the passing time. It is the love that keeps you and your partner for a lifetime- a lifetime of being together, amidst wrinkled skins, potbellies and receding hairlines. Its the love that keep you going, savoring all the happiness and bearing all the pain. Makes you sing the song "Grow Old With You" that you really don't like to do and she laughed at you but after that you knew it is the way that you made her happy and shown you a billion dollar smile.That is true love.

Because a person who knows how to sacrifice and fear Allah or God, also knows how to love.
