SENTIMENTALISM, or in other words, romantic longing, makes itself known most often under the guise of "love". For example, as we will explore in the following pages, the romantic nationalists claim to love their country, for which reason they are hostile or even aggresive towards other nations. Or, we may consider a young man in love with a girl which he turns into the sole focus of his life : what leads him to write her poetry saying "I Love You", and to become obsessed with her to the point of suicide, and in fact, to "divinise" her, is the notion of "love".
Ala-ala hikayat Laila Majnun and Romeo Juliet laa.
Sanggup redah lautan api dan bercerai badan nyawa.. hehe
As for the majority of people, they think that every emotion to which the name of "love" is ascribed is virtuous, pure, and even holy, and that examples of romantic longing, such as what we have mentioned above, are perfectly acceptable.
Betul. Kenyataan dalam dunia zaman sekarang ni.
Love is indeed a wonderful emotion, accorded to humanity by God, but it is important to distinguish whether that love is real or not, and to consider who it is directed to and what sentiments it is founded on.
Macam mana tu?
Such investigation make apparent the difference between a sentimentalism that leads to perserve love, and real love, as revealed to us by God in the Qur'an. These issues we will examine in this book. But, first, by way of preliminary of love as it is found in the Qur'an.
Okey....
According to the Qur'an, love is to be shown to those who deserve it. Those who do not deserve it are not to be loved. We are even to distance ourselves from them emotionally, or, at least, to not feel inclined towards them. But those who deserve love, deserve it because of their virtue. The only being who deserves absolute love is God, who created us all. God brought us into existence, proffered us with the countless blessings we enjoy, showed us the way, and promised us everlasting paradise. He helps us out of every anxiety and graciously hears our every call. It is He who feeds us until we are satisfied, cures us when we are ill and then restores our spirit.
Hanya orang-orang yang cetek pemikiran saja yang akan rasa cinta antara lelaki perempuan tu adalah segala-galanya. Kalau berkecai yang itu, tanda berkecailah dunia.
Manusia.... memang kadang-kadang lupa.
