They were made to Drink the Love

Love is like water. When you drink water, it gets absorbed in the body in such a way that it cannot be separated. The same is with love. It gets absorbed in the heart in such a way that the two become inseparable. 

Allah says in surah Baqarah (ayah 93)

وَاُشْرِبُوا فِي قُلُوبِهِمُ العِجْلَ بِكُفْرِهِمْ 

And they were made to drink in their hearts (love of) the calf because of their disbelief 

Bani Israel when disobeyed Allah, Allah made them drink the love of the calf they worshipped. When the love of anything other than Allah dominates, the person cannot obey Allah anymore. He gets stuck there so much that he is not able to get out of it.

The Ijal was the calf that Bani Israel worshipped and led them to disobey Allah. Find your Ijal. What is the thing whose love is dominating the love of Allah?

Look! look up in the sky Have you found any crack? Don't stop! look up again Your eyes will come down again, failed to find any fault in its track Look! look up at a bird flying Spreading its wings and folding them back Who's holding it in the sky? Who's the One keeping it intact? Look! look into your eyes Wonder! wonder about your hearing Feel your heart Who has provided this? The One who is caring He is Al-Khaliq, who creates He is Al-Baari, who originates He is Ar-Rehman He is Ar-Raheem Maria_thelightseeker (INSPIRED by SURAH MULK)

Night - as it goes away Dawn breaks in The quiet darkness is removed As the morning breathes in Darkness - what is it about? Light - what does it tell? Staring up on the sky Observing the morning bells As the light spreads gradually Difficult times fade away naturally But the light? It struck me! Light is the Quran Morning is the Furqan Maria_thelightseeker (Inspired by Surah Takweer)

Friends

Friends Food : Some friends work like food. They give you energy. Encourage you to do good. Motive you to move ahead.  Medicine : Some are like medicine. They console you during your difficult times. Help you out. Stand by you. You remember them at the time of hardship.  Disease : Some are disease. Filled with negative energy. Always backbite about other people. Talk negative. Do negative. Compel you to do negative. This is how Allah depicted the consequences of having a diseased friend in Qur'an: وَيَوْمَ يَعَضُّ ٱلظَّالِمُ عَلَىٰ يَدَيْهِ يَقُولُ يَـٰلَيْتَنِى ٱتَّخَذْتُ مَعَ ٱلرَّسُولِ سَبِيلًۭا And beware of the Day the wrongdoer will bite his nails in regret and say, “Oh! I wish I had followed the Way along with the Messenger! يَـٰوَيْلَتَىٰ لَيْتَنِى لَمْ أَتَّخِذْ فُلَانًا خَلِيلًۭا  Woe to me! I wish I had never taken so-and-so as a close friend. (Surah Furqan: 27-28) That was the friend who strayed him from the right path.  Check your friends!  Analyse...
