A LOVE LETTER from a Muslim man to
the girl he LOVES:
“If you love me, don’t confess your love
to me, this won’t please me and will
keep me away! Love words don’t attract
me. If you love me, wait for me and I will
knock on your door in the right time.
Don’t give me privileges which I don’t
deserve. Keep me away from you, and I
will approach you. If you approach me, I
will stay away from you. Don’t love me,
for I want you ignorant in love. I want to
teach you love when the right time
comes and you will be my Halal, only
when we are joined together under our
Creator’s satisfaction.
Don’t tell me what you feel, don’t give
me from your time; don’t push me to
lose you. I am a man who won’t accept
to see the one he loves committing sins
or to live a forbidden love behind the
back of her family. I don’t want her to
feel guilty and don’t want her heart to
suffer.
Put limits to me that I won’t cross, kill
me inside you so I won’t grow to kill you.
Preserve what is beautiful inside you. I
want you innocent, chaste, pure. I want
you dear, not easy. And then, only then,
I will face everything and will be ready
to go through difficulties to get you.
How could I be a faithful man to you
when I try to break your chastity? How
would I be faithful to you if I push you
to betray your family? How could I trust
a love which grew under Allah’s wrath?
To love you means to protect you, to
preserve you not to kill what is
beautiful in you.
Don’t be easy because then, I may not
value you. Don’t love me now, so I won’t
hate you! My heart wants you and
doesn’t want to lose you. I don’t want
you to be just a passing fancy to me, I
want you a wife, a lover, the mother of
my children, I want you to be the one I
will spend my whole life with."
Oh ALLAH grant us a pious spouse.
Aameen.
