Love Of Allah (Poem)

LOVE OF ALLAH

The Love of the Beloved
Must be unconditionally returned

If you claim love
Yet oppose the Beloved
Then your love is but a pretence
You love the enemies of your Beloved
And still seek love in return

You fight the beloved of your Beloved
Is this love or following of Satan

True devotion is nothing
But total submission of body and soul
To one love

We have seen human claim to submit
Yet their loyalties are many

They put their trust here
And their hope here
And their love is without consequence

By Imam Ibnul Qayyim Al Jauziyyah
