𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻'𝘀 𝗕𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀 (138)

Exceeding the bounds in loving others for the sake of Allah Sheikh Uthaymeen rahimahullah said: “But I want to warn with a severe warning – especially the women – that this love for the Sake of Allah does not become loving [someone] along with Allah. Because some of the people become infatuated in loving their brother for the Sake of Allah, or a woman becomes infatuated in loving her sister for the Sake of Allah, until love for this person in her heart or in the man's heart becomes greater than their love for Allah. Because this person is always in his heart, and is always the one he remembers. If he goes to sleep, he goes to sleep remembering him, and if he wakes up, he wakes up remembering him. And if he goes or returns, he remembers him. So his remembrance of him makes him forget the remembrance of Allah – Mighty and Exalted is He. This is shirk in love. Allah, The Most High, said: ﴿وَمِنْ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَتَّخِذُ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ أَندَاداً يُحِبُّونَهُمْ كَحُبِّ اللهِ﴾ “And of mankind are those who take rivals along with Allāh; they love them as much as they love Allāh.” [2:165] From this affair is that a woman will love her colleague or her teacher with a severe love that takes over her heart, thoughts, and mind until she is the one who is always on her mind. And she forgets, because of her remembrance of her, remembrance of Allah. This is a mistake and is dangerous. What is obligatory on the one who falls into this illness is that he tries to cure it as much as he is able.” [Fatāwa Nūrun ʿalā Ad-Darb 4/2] ➡️@womensbenefits
