    Salaam all,

    Love is the most beutiful state of mind.Because Love brings happiness and compassions . The only negative things when you are in love with someone is that you can lost reality.It's like you're living in a dream.Like you walk on pink clouds all day long.

    But an illusion nah then would all feelings being illusions.

    I'm in love with life right now, it can sound very strange when I'm in the middle of a divorce but I'm in love.

    Peace
    Sis Majidah grouphug

        Salaam Jaxal,

        William Shakespear right, well love can be painful too and I know what you mean!

        But we cannot altogether point out that love is painful because it can be painful roll

        I like when love is painful so I feel that I'm alive lol

        Peace

          And what does 'the darkness' say about love?

          The first flush of youth was upon you when our eyes first met
          And I knew that to you and into your life I had to get
          I felt light-headed at the touch of this stranger's hand
          An assault my defences systematically failed to withstand

          'Cos you came at a time
          When the pursuit of one true love in which to fall
          Was the be all and end all

          Love is only a feeling
          (Drifting away)
          When I'm in your arms I start believing
          (It's here to stay)
          But love is only a feeling
          Anyway

            Love is a sweet poison. And poison is bad.

                  For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning.

                  Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun,

                  So shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth...

                  -Khalil Gibran

                  but also

                  To know the pain of too much tenderness.
                  To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
                  And to bleed willingly and joyfully.

                  -Khalil Gibran

                  So love is no joke is it?
                  You can feel the pain of it as in Sweet Poison. And poisons are bad?
                  But all medicines are poisons but they can be still good for us?

                  There is no BS in Love, only Broken hearted see it that way... -)
                  Love is the way it is...

                  But question is - Is Love an Illusion?
                  You did not answer -(

                    Im inspired to believe that everything is an "illusion."

                    What we view as "real" is "real" because of our view.

                    But this is not to say that we have no right to take illusions seriously

                      Salaam,

                      Allah swt has created us to have feelings as the five senses.

                      So to say that is an illusion is for me wrong.

                      Broken heart or not, Love is still beautiful and we have to go through it to feel good in life.

                      And why did Allah created us to having sex, not only for having babies because why then is sex a pleasure and lustful!?

                      Anyway is it any of you who have heard that song who really describe an sexual intercourse!?

                      I heard it by an accident because I borrow my daughters mp3 and listening on the train and suddenly this incredible song popped up and i felt very ashamed ops

                      I don't want to write the text here because I know here is sensitive people.

                      Peace

                        Yes, love is indeed an illusion and a pretty bad one at that.

                          Peace All,

                          Here's a question...besides the biological mechanics of life (eating, sleeping, breathing, etc.), what action, non-action, decision, or non-decision can you think of that is not rooted in love or lack thereof?

                          Why do you work?
                          Why do you give?
                          Why do you sacrifice?
                          Why do you compromise?
                          Why do you lie?
                          Why do you tell the truth?
                          Why do you learn?

                          etc. etc.

                          Peace,
                          Tay

                              It's very suprising someone posted this. Love is a real thing. Scientists have discovered a broken heart is a physical pain that is felt by the heart. To tell you the truth I don't know whether love is an illusion or an obsession or whether it is a unique feeling that cannot be described by words.

                              Love isn't a good thing at the moment for me in my books cry

                              PEACE

                                    jaxal, i can kinda see where ur coming from, but maybe you just dont want love to mean anything more than a ''rose''
                                    or maybe you have a flaud definition of love,
                                    love is a good thing, the rest of the world isn't crazy
                                    peace

                                      IF you are reffering that love is so good and yada yada becoz how to people care for each other. Then here is a secret. 2 people dont have to be in love to actually care for each other. 2 people are just fine without love. Its when they love that things go wrong.

                                        Peace,

                                        I have read about love in connection to oneness and peace --in oppostion to affection or love for a person or family or group.

                                        If we are one in essence, the good or the bad we do to others we are doing to ourselves. From this perspective, the aim of becoming a loving person for all looks easier. 'All' includes our enemies too. This can be possible if we are in the state of peace. This love demmands not seeking anything in return.

                                        The other concept of love, for specific people and expecting something in return, say for the children or familiy or friends,or the husband and wife would be called differently, maybe affection or something else.

                                        Anwering the question, my answer is not, love is n ot an illusion.

                                          Salaam all,

                                          I think there are people here who have had their heart broken.

                                          But we must go on always and we might could find love again )

                                          Both men and women can be hurt in love and that can also be a test from God to see how tolerate we are and so on.

                                          Peace
                                          Sis Majidah
