Prison of Love
By: Budi Ashari, Lc
We want to learn from Yusuf's dialogue with his admirers for his knowledge and his abilities. Love is so incredible. Even his heart had never been overcome by love love sedahsyat on Yusufs.
"I take refuge in God from your love ....."
Yusuf's sentence certainly surprised his student who expressed his love.
Then Yusuf explained. For all of us to learn. To whomever this love we send. Whichever love we get.
Yes, therefore the love we receive or that we send must not be a prison. Because prison limits our space.
Parents' love for their children should not make children fly as low as their parents. They have more power than we do. That's what we have to believe. Let them fly high 'leave' us.
A person's love for his partner, also should not imprison. So the noble duties before marriage are stopped by marriage. This is very strange, because in Islam the marriage equips half the religion. That should be, marriage makes us more productive lives. Not the other way around.
Do not be in the name of love, he can no longer study. Busy with a busy household routine.
Do not be in the name of love, he is tired so no longer as productive as before. Busy to take care of jealousy. Tired of the fighting. Tired with a stack of problems.
But love can not imprison. Limit the space. Precisely with love our movement should be more excited, passionate and more productive.
Love once told us that he once made two prisons for the noble man. Prison wells and prison bars.
Not this love we want ...
