Love in the words of Ghazali (R.A) is the dynamic force of direct contemplation of Divine attributes manifest under the aspect of limitations in the universe – the phenomenal world of multi forms and colours. Love can prove an incentive for kindling the fire in the soul in order that the Divine Endowments are released within, igniting the power, the ability and passion to understand, affirm, and appreciate the Beauty of Good Work.

Rumi speaks about ardent Love, quoting Hassan of Basra (728 AD) regarding God:
“When My servant devotes himself to praise and recollection of ME and takes delight in it, he loves Me and I love him”
[Ashikani (he loves me) wa (and) ashiktuhu (I love him)].
“When My servant devotes himself to praise and recollection of ME and takes delight in it, he loves Me and I love him”
[Ashikani (he loves me) wa (and) ashiktuhu (I love him)].
