Like A Drop Of Water In The Central Ocean

Ibn al-Qayyim Rahimahullah said, "delights to follow the love. He will be strengthened following the strengthening of love and also weakened in line with the weakening of love. Every time the desire against al-mahbub (beloved figure) and the longing to him also strengthened the more perfect delicacy that will be felt when he came to these goals. While a sense of love and longing that is dependent upon ma'rifah / recognition and knowledge about a beloved figure. Every time increasing his knowledge about perfect then certainly love him even more perfect. Where perfect pleasure in the last world and perfect delicacy that pivot to science and love, then it means that whoever is in recognition of faith in God, the names, His attributes and-really-believe in his religion would delicious who will he feel when he meet, mingle, look at His face and hear his sayings are also more perfect.  As for all the delicacy, pleasure, excitement, and pleasure-worldly felt by humans-when compared with it all like a drop of water in the middle of the ocean.  Therefore, how could any intelligent people prefer the delicacy of the very few and even briefly mixed with a variety of pain over the delicacy of the most glorious, continuous and eternal. Perfection of a servant is dependent on two pieces of this power, the power of science and love. The most important science is the science of God, while the highest love is the love of Him. Meanwhile, the most perfect delicacy can be reached directly proportional to these two things [the knowledge and love], Allahul musta'aan. "(Al-Fawa'id, p.. 52)
