The Concept of True Love in Islam
No religion encourages its supporters to embrace shared love, warmth and closeness like the religion of Islam. This ought to be the situation constantly, not simply on particular days. Islam supports indicating friendship and love towards each other constantly. In a Hadeeth (portrayal), the Prophet, sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah commend his say ), stated: "When a man cherishes his sibling, he should disclose to him that he adores him." [Abu Daawood and At-Tirmithi]
In another Hadeeth, he stated: "By Him in Whose Hand my spirit would you say you is, won't enter Paradise unless you accept, and you won't accept unlessyou cherish each other.Should I guide you to something that in the event that you always did it, you wouldlove each other? Spread the welcome of peace among you." [Muslim]
Additionally, the Muslim's friendship incorporates lifeless creatures. Discussing the Mountain of Uhud, the Prophet, sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah lift up his say ) stated: "This is Uhud, a mountain which cherishes us and we adore it." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

Love in Islam is widely inclusive, far reaching and great, as opposed to being limited to one frame just, which is love between a man and a lady. Or maybe, there are more thorough, more extensive and brilliant implications. There is love for Allah The Almighty, the Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah magnify his say ), the Companions, may Allah be satisfied with them, and the affection for good and upright individuals. There is love of the religion of Islam, maintaining it and making it triumphant and the adoration for suffering for Allah The Almighty and also different types of affection. Thusly, it isn't right and risky to limit the wide significance of affection to this kind of adoration as it were.
An effective conjugal and family life depends on adoration and sympathy:
Maybe a few people are affected by what is steadily engendered by the media, motion pictures and TV serials, day and night, believing that a marriage won't be effective unless it depends on a pre-conjugal connection between the youthful couple to accomplish consummate concordance amongst them and secure a fruitful conjugal life.
Not just this, numerous individuals are likewise impacted by the call to intermixing between the two genders, obscenity and numerous other good deviations. This prompts extraordinary defilement and grave wrongdoings and the infringement of sacred natures and respect. I won't invalidate this claim starting here of view, yet through genuine examinations and figures.

In an investigation completed by Cairo University (a college of impartial introduction; which isn't an Islamic expert to be liable to uncertainty of being one-sided) about what it called "love marriage" and "customary marriage", the accompanying was finished up:
As per the examination, 88 percent of relational unions which happen after a relationship end with disappointment, i.e., with a win rate of not in excess of 12 percent. With respect to what it called "the conventional marriage", as per the investigation, 70 percent are fruitful.
At the end of the day, the quantity of effective relational unions in the purported customary marriage is six times more than adoration relational unions. [Risaalah Ila Mu'minah]
This investigation is affirmed by another comparable one completed by Syracuse University in the U.S. The investigation shows certain that affection or energy isn't a certification for an effective marriage; rather, it regularly prompts disappointment. The disturbing rates of separation declare these realities.
Remarking on this marvel, Professor Saul Gordon, a speaker at the previously mentioned University stated, "When you are infatuated; to you the entire world spins around this individual whom you adore. Marriage at that point comes to demonstrate the inverse and crush every one of your recognitions. This is on the grounds that you find that there are different universes that you must know about. It isn't the universe of people, however the universe of ideas, qualities and propensities which you gave careful consideration to previously." [Ibid]
Frederick Koenig, an educator of social brain science at Tulane University, says, "Sentimental love is extremely solid and passionate, however does not last, while genuine love is connected to the land and life and can withstand trials." He includes, "It is unthinkable that one adjusts the effective feelings in sentimental love. This adoration appears like a cake, a man appreciates eating it [while it lasts], at that point it is trailed by the time of destruction. While genuine love implies sharing the worries of every day life and participation for it to proceed. Inside the structure of this collaboration, one can accomplish his human need." [Al-Qabas Newspaper: Quoted from Risaalah Ila Hawwaa']
The adoration which the essayist discusses and calls "genuine living" was communicated in the Quran as love. Allah The Exalted Says (what implies):{And of His Signs is that He made for you from yourselves mates that you may discover serenity in them; and He put between you love and mercy.} [Quran 30: 21]
The connection between life partners depends on love and kindness, not on enthusiastic love, want and energy. It is a relationship which depends on calm (love) and shared benevolence, not deceptions of adoration which neglect to withstand reality or sentimental dreams which neglect to make an effective marriage.

How learned was 'Umar ibn Al-Khattaab, may Allah be satisfied with him, when he tended to ladies and stated, "On the off chance that one of you doesn't love her better half, she ought not enlighten him concerning this, on the grounds that lone a couple of homes depend on affection; rather, individuals live respectively by ethicalness of good ethics and Islam."
By the by, this does not imply that we call to disregard feelings between life partners or cover emotions and opinions between them.
The Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah lift up his say ), gave us the best case of cherishing his spouses. It was described in the unadulterated Sunnah (convention) that the Prophet, sallallaahualayhi wa sallam ( may Allah lift up his say ), was mindful so as to put his mouth on a similar place from which his significant other 'Aa'ishah, may Allah be satisfied with her, drank. Amid his last ailment, he utilized her Siwaak (tooth stick) and kicked the bucket while he was leaned back against her chest, between her neck and chest. What sort of affection is nobler and more heavenly than this?
