A woman’s heart should be so hidden in ALLAH that a man should have to seek Him first to find her


Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh...


All praises is due to Allah swt, Lord of The Universe and may peace and blessings be upon Muhammad, His beloved Messenger.

Brothers and sisters,
we are still living in harmony even though our love and soul are trying to find such a 'good answer' for our 'future'. Dear beloved readers, What is love? What is soul? two things that people always failed... the most difficult questions for the mankind. Centuries have passed by, relationships have bloomed and so has love. But no one can give the proper definition of love. To some Love is friendship set on fire for others Maybe love is like luck. You have to go all the way to find it. No matter how you define it or feel it, love is the eternal truth in the history of mankind . Not everyone understands it! not everyone can describe the feelings associated with it! and not everyone will get the chance to feel it! Both are subjective.

"For the mind, heart and sight, the first shaykh is 'ishq ( love), if there be no 'ishq, then Syariah and din become but idols of whimsical ideas"

Nowadays, love of the material world has overpowered our hearts and through heedlessness, we have become increasingly distant from our Lord. Truly, love for Allah is the need of the times. Love of Allah is eternity.

Allah loves us!


وَالَّذِينَ جَاهَدُوا فِينَا لَنَهْدِيَنَّهُمْ سُبُلَنَا وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمَعَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ

"As for those who strive hard in Us (Our Cause), We will surely guide them to Our paths (i.e. Allaah’s religion — Islamic Monotheism)" (Al-Ankabut:69)


Al-Bukhaari (3209) and Muslim (2637) narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:

When Allaah loves a person, He calls out to Jibreel: ‘Allaah loves So and so,’ so Jibreel loves him. Then Jibreel calls out to the people of heaven, ‘Allaah loves So and so, so love him.’ So the people of heaven love him and he finds acceptance on earth.

How about us? Do we love Him?

As the mystical side of Islam developed, it was a woman, Rabi’a al-Adawiyya (717-801 A.D.), who first expressed the relationship with the divine in a language we have come to recognize as specifically Sufic by referring to God as the Beloved. Rabi’a was the first human being to speak of the realities of Sufism with a language that anyone could understand. Though she experienced many difficulties in her early years, Rabi’a's starting point was neither a fear of hell nor a desire for paradise, but only love. “God is God,” she said, “for this I love God… not because of any gifts, but for Itself.” Her aim was to melt her being in God. According to her, one could find God by turning within oneself. As Muhammad said, “He who knows himself knows his Lord.” Ultimately it is through love that we are brought into the unity of Being.-Camille Adams Helminski

Rabi'a al-Adawiyya, such a pious women, who put Allah in the first level of her heart. how about us?Well, it is such impossible for us to be like her. However, insyaAllah, as long as our heart are solely to Allah, and love Muhammad saw as His Messenger, as well as love to our parents, husband/wife, teachers and friends, the Pleasure of Allah will be the best reward!

I really love this quote and eager to post it in my blog, something that we can share and being advised each other =).And I think every Woman out there should implement it.

~A woman’s heart should be so hidden in ALLAH that a man should have to seek Him first to find her~


Wallahualam.

Lets loving Him! ^_^
