desires its mate, just like amber and straw.Heaven says to the earth, "Hallo! Thou drawest me like iron to a magnet!"...This quote from Rumi summarizes everythings needs and desires for everything else to survive. Human being's love can be sperated into two differint kind of loves. There is "True Love" which is the love for God. Then there is "Derivative Love" which is the love for anything else that's not God. When you take a good look at it, however, that both loves are actually a love for God. Since everything has come from God and whatever exists is his reflection or shadow. So "Derivative Love" just ends up in human's loving God anyways. Here is a quote from Rumi that helps understand this:"All things in the world- walth, women, clothing- are desired for the sake of other things, not for their own sake. Do you not see that if you had a hundred thousand dirhams and were hungry, but you could nto find food, you would not be able to eat those dirhams? Wome are for children and for satisfying passion. Clothing is for warding off cold. So it is with all things, which are linked together, one after the other, all the way to God. It is He who is desired for His own sake, not for something else. He is better than all things, nobler than all, pleasanter than all. So how should He be desired for the sake of what is less than He? So He is the Goal. When He is attained. The Universal Object of Desire has been attained. There is no passing on."So Love has been described and Love's signifigance to Islam. It has been concluded that Love is for God and everything that has been created by God. Love is to desire and need something. All human beings, no matter what religon and how they feel, according to Rumi, needs God. So all human beings Love God. ...
