Poem by Imam Ibn ul Qayyim al Jawziyyah
Excerpted from An-Nooniyyah Quoted in "Al-Walaa wal-Baraa" of Muhammad Saeed al-Qahtani © 1993 Al-Firdous
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 the following of shaytaan?
True devotion is nothing but total submission of body and soul to One Love.
We have seen humans claim to submit, yet their loyalties are many.
They put their trust here, and their hope there, and their love is without consequence.
