(Explanation that the increase and decrease of love are related to knowing the attributes of the Beloved) And the most intense in love for Him are those who know best *** His attributes and the realities of the Qur'an, so love follows perception
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"And the most intense in love for Him are those who know best *** His attributes and the realities of faith" "and the realities of the Qur'an" Yes, these are the people most intense in love for Allah (Mighty and Majestic), the ones who know His attributes, because whenever a person knows an attribute, his love for the one possessing it increases.
"So love follows perception according to its measure *** It strengthens and weakens, that is the one with clear explanation"
Indeed, love revolves around a person's perception of the one he loves. If a person perceives the complete attributes of the Beloved, he must incline toward Him with love. Even ordinary matters like food, drink, clothing, and dwellings: whenever a person perceives the perfection of a thing, his love for it increases.
