Today was the first day of the Al Maghrib Class "Love Notes" Sheikh Yasir.
Before I began this post I didn't even realize the amazing lesson I just took from this ayah Sheikh Yasir mentioned, subhanAllah.
Aside from all of the talk about marriage, love, and etc within the class, my favorite part of the class was something that is not usually mentioned when this ayah is quoted.
Everyone has probably heard the following ayah from Surat Ar Rum, 31:
And of His signs is that He created for you from yourselves mates that you may find peace in them; and He placed between you affection and mercy. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought.
Sheikh Yasir said when you go home, look up the whole surah and read the ayahs before and after this aya http://quran.com/30/18-24.
In these other ayahs Allah talks about His Signs such as "lightening , rain from the sky, sleep , the creation of the heavens and the earth , diversity of your languages, brings to life the earth after its lifelessness, created you from dust" and much more (please read the ayat!)
This part was amazing to me because I love learning about Allahs Signs and to see this concept of love, affection, mercy and the bringing together of husband and wife as a "Sign" to contemplate upon, this is how I hope to view my marriage inshAllah, as a miracle from Allah, as something to contemplate upon which leads you to remembrance of Allah, ya Allah
Even love must be contemplated upon, just as we contemplate upon the other amazing creations of Allah such as our own creation, the earth, the sky, the sunset. Love should make us say "subhanAllah" not just oooolalalaaa.
