The way of love: from the cradle to the creator.
Ustad Abdini explains that this way of love is not an externally forced teaching - it is innate and natural. It is woven into the fabric of creation itself.
Look at a boy. In the first years of his life, the child sees his parents as the ultimate source of everything. The child sees the father and mother as the breadwinner (razik), the creator (khalik) and the nurturer (rab). The radiations even say: "Don't beat your child, because your child sees you as his provider and creator. ".
It's not a lack of trust. This is where the journey begins. The child's heart is naturally connected to the nearest and most tangible source of love and sustenance.
But when the child grows up, they begin to understand: "My parents are limited. They cannot provide everything. They can't protect me from anything. There must be a greater provider, a greater creator, a greater nurturer. ".
Children's love expands from the visible to the invisible. From the parents to the Creator. The natural love placed in the hearts of children for their parents becomes a ladder to know and love God.
The lesson:
God placed this natural love in every person - believer and unbeliever alike. The family is the training ground where this love is first experienced, and from there it expands until it reaches the love of God.
The way of love is not far. It is written in our nature.
