There are different kind of loves, you love your parents and you see their mistakes for example, but loving a girl can make you blind. Love for God is true love. Love is when you would die for that person. But you can love your dog too, and then comes the question , would you die for you dog? Nobody would, so we have different kinds of love. So to answer the question we first have to know about what kind of love and between who. I would say love is when you would die for that person or at least chop off your arm.

I understand that nobody here has mentionned Qur'an, but for the sake of clarity when the question asked is

what is love?
I would like to knnow which arabic word from the Qur'an is translated as love?

Love, like peace, is a very nice word which can mean anything, I would lik to know whther we are in ious dreams or getting into something clearer, so which word of the Qur'an means the love her is being spoken of?

So you do not show love to your parents, or if you have a pet. Do you have a wife? I think not. Brother first you will have to feel real war and hate to realize what is love. You just go and laugh and make comments that make no sense, how can my death give someone life, that person is already alive and only Allah gives life, not me dying. You really do not now what love is, real love is worth dying for. Love for Allah is worth of dying.

Apparently my definition of what is love was incomplete to
some people because folks have determined that there are many
kinds of love but if we continue to define love as a verb or an action
word and that action is given out towards an object (noun or pronoun, idea etc.,)
we will find that love is consistent and that only the objects change.
Love is always how one treats, feels towards an object!

am I getting closer?

I endorse this. The objects are the ones that change but the act of loving remains consistent.
Love entails care, comfort, concern for, protection of and desire for the recipient to improve,succeed, progress, thrive. One of the qualities it holds it is that it is unconditional.

I believe people mistakenly load the word love with other ideas.
When most people refer to romantic love they load the word love with attraction and desire(& etc).
While these concepts are distinct from what love is.
You can have attraction towards someone or desire someone without loving them.
This is indicative of the word love having loaded meaning.

Hawk is correct, the act of loving or even the noun love is consistent

Peace Hawk.

Brother , do you think that there are different strengths of Love?

For example strong / weak love!

Also long term/short term love!
GOD bless you.
Peace.

Peace.

He cannot objectively answer that question unless you define what YOU mean by love.

For example my understanding of love is blah blah
Hawk do you agree with love meaning blah blah
Hawk based on a definition we agree upon are there degrees of love( blah blah )?

Peace HP_TECH excellent post, because you give details and words of
the aspects of love (positive). Appreciation can garner love.

Great question good logic, Again, is your question "can love be in degrees"?
If you define love as I do as a verb I would say yes.

As far as short term and long term love goes, I would say yes you can have both
short term and long term love. However what happened in the case of short
term love to bring it to an end, why are the actions of love (submission to Allah)
care, comfort, concern (for a spouse) Support belief (of an idea) intensity, attention
(to our favorite team) no longer geared towards that object, what happened, convinced
otherwise? lost trust? lost interest because (fill in the blank) discovered something disturbing?
Suspicion? Bored?

good_logic

Peace Hawk.

I agree.
In other words we need to keep working hard at "Love" to keep it going at the right degree and keep it long term.
Qoran is right, we are here to work hard .A lot of effort is required daily to stay out of trouble.
"Love" is the most important of all the other traits one needs to have in life.
GOD bless you.
Peace.

I have askedthis question several times and nobody has answered. It must be very difficult.

My question has been, when all thi talk about love is going on, which word in the Arabic Qur'an would stand for "love" as expressed in all these messages?

Please do answer.

Hi huruf,

It's sort of like asking which Arabic word in Quran would best describe "righteous" there is not one word there are many different words that convey similar meaning.

The idea of a word in Quran maintaining a universal consistent meaning in every occurrence is a bit of a stretch.

Sometimes some words change meaning depending on context and other factors.

I find these set of roots

ha-ba-ba
wa-dal-dal
ra-ha-mim
ha-nun-nun
hamza-lam-fa

All these roots encompass definitions we have given for love in these messages some obviously more than others.

Why don't you tell us what you find sister?

huruf

I do not find anything, I just wanted to know what you were talking about. Love is like a catch all and anything word, particularly apt to allow moving pots around without end.

Salaam

JavaLatte

I've learned that love (true love) is not blind.

I think true love toward someone is the love where I can see (know, understand) why I love that person, and loving someone involves gratitude, steadfastness and loyalty. Loving another person is like having strong friendship with someone who walks on similar path - as if they walk together hand in hand on a road - they have a same/similar final destination and they support one another, seeking way to serve their Rabb and keep loyal to Him, and these two person are willing to forgive each other and listen to each other's dreams, feelings, ideas, and thoughts, thus they could understand each other in many ways.

Peace.
