How do you let go of feelings for someone you love?

🌙

Hello. I truly understand your feelings. The heart is delicate, and sometimes it inclines quietly, without us even realizing. But gently, I would advise you not to fix your gaze upon this Shaykh — may Allah have mercy on both of you.

Allah has already guided us with something purer and more protective for our hearts:

“Tell the believing men and believing women to reduce their gaze and guard their chastity.” (Qur’an 24:30–31)

Reducing the gaze is about avoiding sin. It is also about guarding the heart before it becomes attached in ways that distract it from its true purpose. A glance may seem small, but repeated glances can root something deeper within.

Remember: nothing is worthy of becoming the object of deep attachment except Allah — your Lord and my Lord. Every love, every admiration, every longing must ultimately return to Him.

And reflect upon the greatest moment awaiting the believers:

“Some faces, that Day, will be radiant, looking at their Lord.” (Qur’an 75:22–23)

“For those who do good is the best reward — and even more.” (Qur’an 10:26)

The scholars explained that “even more” is the honor of beholding the Face of Allah. What comparison is there between any gaze in this world and that eternal vision? How small every worldly attachment will feel when that Day arrives.

If we long to look, then let us long for that moment.
If we love, then let our love be for the One whose sight will bring everlasting joy.

As Allah says:

“Say: If you love Allah, then follow me; Allah will love you and forgive you your sins.” (Qur’an 3:31)

May Allah purify our hearts, help us reduce our gaze, and grant us the honor of looking upon His Noble Face in the Hereafter. 🌙

How I Left Porn for Allah|An Islamic Recovery Guide Introduction – The Shame of Sin vs the Sweetness of Leaving It for Allah There was a time in my life when I was only inches away from selling my Lord and His Hereafter for a few moments of forbidden pleasure — a step that could have dragged me into prostitution. A click, a glance, a touch — and it could have been over. The temptation was strong — the allure of semi-nude women who stirred my lust to disobey my Lord and commit masturbation and shameful deeds. I was on the verge of trading my Lord and my Hereafter for a fleeting, shameful sin. But then Allah intervened. He forbade me from shamelessness and reminded me of His command: “Indeed, Allah commands justice, good conduct, and giving to relatives, and forbids shamelessness (fahshā’), evil deeds (munkar), and transgression (baghy). He admonishes you that perhaps you will be reminded.” (Qur’an 16:90) Allah promised something far greater than the temporary pleasure of this world — t...

The Holistic message of the holy Bible  Prophets of God commiting shameful deeds  Prophet Noah drank wine and laid nude in his tent Book of Genesis 9:20–23 (KJV) "And Noah began to be a husbandman, and he planted a vineyard: and he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent. And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without. And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father’s nakedness." So this, then, is how the sons of a drunk and naked prophet of God are said to have dealt with him—presented as a moral example for us, should we ever find ourselves confronting such an abominable figure. Imagine a prophet of God, the second father of humanity after the Flood, being reduced to such perversity. By Allah, this is nothing but a monstrous fabrication. Proph...
