Love Feeds Your Soul

 

                The sweetest thing that is the biggest grant from Allah Almighty to His servants is Love.   God is not love; but the greatest or biggest grant from Allah Almighty to his servants is Love.

               God is not love.     Love is only one attribute from Allah Almighty's existence.  If Allah Almighty (was) not granting love to His servants, they would never  be interested in Him, never interested in worshipping Him, never going to ask Him for anything.       But that 'honey' is making people ask for the hive.

             Therefore we must try to reach Love Springs,  and we must try to taste more from these Love Springs.    And Love Springs are coming as fountains from the everlasting and never-ending Love Oceans of the Lord, Allah Almighty.       God's  Love Oceans are endless oceans and everlasting oceans.  And springs of Love are coming from that ocean everywhere; and the Lord Allah Almighty is making the hearts of His servants springs of love, springs of Divine Love.  Mankind has been created and that creation has been  arranged in that way.  Their hearts are going to be fountains from love springs.

             But people are not taking enough care about that love.  They are not allowing the divine love springs to flow out from their hearts. They are running after some imitation love, for a temporary love that is only coming and going for some occasions, coming and giving people that love which belongs to our physical desires.  It is only temporary and is quickly disappearing, and the quickly arriving satisfaction is going to be less and less and then it is finishing. Commonly the interest of mankind is going to be for that love which is going to be less and less and less and then finishing. Drying up.

           Physical-desires' love is going to be less and finally to be dry;  but Divine Love is settled and based through the hearts of mankind. It is not becoming less.  As long as you are looking after it, you should find it increasing, giving more, and being more tasteful; and finding it never ending. This is because your physical being is going to finish,   but your real being, your spiritual being, is never going to finish.

            Your physical being is a temporary being, but your spiritual being is a permanent one; so  the love  which belongs to your physical being is going to finish.  But that which belongs to your spiritual being, is never ending, is permanent.    You are free to choose between the two.  You are free to look for the one or the other, as you like.      If you like to finish, then follow your physical desires and their love.  If you are interested in Eternal love, everlasting love, then look after your spiritual love.     Look after you spiritual being, permanent love.  Are you doing so?

             I am saying to you, "Use your minds".       Physical-desires' love belongs to your physical desires and is temporary, finished.  You may choose it or you may choose the love that belongs to Eternal Love through your soul, which never gets less even if you were one hundred years old.    On the contrary, that love increases.  That Love grows up and you will find taste that you can't find in any physical desire.    Choose, this or that.

            If anyone is asking to save their soul because their physical body is temporary, they must look after their soul.  But the soul is never going to be saved without Divine Love.      Try to feed your soul with Divine Love,  through the Divine Love of Rasul Allah (the Messenger of Allah), Habib Allah (the Beloved of Allah), peace be upon him.    And try to reach that Divine Love of the Beloved Ones in the Prophet's Divine Presence through awliya' (Saints).

Save your souls, 0 mankind!  If not, you will know; but maybe it will be too late when you'll know.

And we are asking forgiveness for you and for Blessed Ones.  And we are
saying ' astaghfirullah...... (Forgive us, 0 Allah)
