Love is a Tribulation

بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

Shaykh Manswur al-Baz al-Batha’ihi (q.s.) wrote: 

“Love is an intoxication, and its hangover is a ruination,

A fertile ground for disaster and terminal disease.

Love, like death, annihilates every enamoured soul,

And ruination destroys anyone who tastes it.

In love died those who were sincere in their affection;

Had they not loved, they would neither have died nor perished.”
