As part of the 'Weekend of UNDERSTANDING LOVE', Easy Talk presents:

'ON THE PULL? ISLAM'S TAKE ON LOVE AND ROMANCE'

There is a difference between love and romance. Romance, if not checked, may mean wasting time, effort and dignity. Islam teaches us to be truthful and realistic. The concept of love in Islam is very unique, when a Muslim loves something or somebody, it must be for the sake of Allah. Islam teaches us that marriage is the finest, purest and permissible relationship that should exist between a male and female; it should be the goal that they both have in mind. There is no room in Islam for illicit affairs or the Western vogue-word of boyfriend and girlfriend.

The Prophet, Peace and Blessings be upon him, said:

"Three qualities, if found in a person, will help him have perfect faith: Having Allah and His Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, as the most beloved ones, loving a person only for the sake of Allah and hating getting back to Kufr (disbelief) the way one hates to be thrown into fire."

Love is a fruit of piety....love without piety is mischief.

'A HEAVENLY UNION'

A one day intensive on marriage with Shaykh Zia Ullah Khan.

Marriage enriches the soul and enlightens life with mercy, love and serenity. It is the meeting of two souls in a HEAVENLY UNION. If you are single this intensive will provide you with comprehensive knowledge and motivation to fulfill half of your faith. If you are newly wed, this course will inspire and guide you to the Prophetic way of building that HEAVENLY UNION; still, if you have been married for a while, this event will enhance your ability to rekindle love, mercy and tranquility through devine help and support.

- In developing countries poor people are poor, but in developed countries people can deceive themselves into believing they are not because they are able to borrow loans/overdraft etc.
