“How can someone who is not in tuned with her emotions feel the love of Allah?”“Feel the love of others and feel the love for herself?”

We can finally answer the questions. We? You must be wondering. We have so many parts of us, all the selves come together to make me feel more complete as I embrace and see all parts of me as One rather than separated/divided. 

Simple answer to the above questions is no. A person who does not know her (Self) cannot know Allah. If you don’t know Allah, you cannot know the love of Allah. well , ALLAH = LOVE in every dimension if you go deep enough (yeah it’s that deep!). Often time, people uses “spirituality”, misattributing it with religion, to blame or shift the tension or load of the matter onto God. As far as I can remember, since I was little as a little wool, I can remember being taught “A leaf does not fall without the permission of Allah”. I feel like people understand this sentence at their own level of comprehension. Instead of seeing everything as Allah loving us, we see it as reward and punishment. We are really surrendering the operant conditioning of things around here. 

Okay, back to the question. A person who is not in tuned with her emotions. What does tha mean? Love that question, because I literally had someone asked what the hell does “in tune with emotions” mean once I told him “you are not in tuned with your emotions”. Khalas, let’s begin. Bismillah! We are human beings, Allah has created us with emotions and feelings. We need to respect the fact that Allah has input such a gift into us. We cannot comprehend the wisdom of Allah but I am sure you will agree with me that there is a reason as to why He plants certain seeds in us or the way He executes our lives. Based on that 1% of understanding, that the emotions and feelings that have been created with us are for our benefits and not for our failures. There is no such thing as failure but that’s a whole other blog on its own. 

Emotions = energy in motion. We are energetic beings. Matter does not exist, it’s energy. Emotions are the energy being ruffled, crippled, twisted, aligned, circling, widening and just acting on their own because of the person or situation you have come in contact with. We are all ONE. When we come in contact with each other, we are exchanging waves of energy. The waves of energy are translated as emotions which then creates a chemical and biological reaction in the body. That reaction  is comprehended by the body as feeling to be made aware - a messenger. So, your body is the bridge connecting the unseen and seen realm. 

We have to feel, if we are not feeling, then we are not aware of the messaging the body is sending to us. If we are not understanding our own body, we are disconnected with our internal realms where all of our power, gifts, and secrets lie. By refusing to feel, we are rejecting our inner realm, our reality. How can you feel the love of Allah when you are rejecting what He has created? You! To refuse to feel, to reject your inner realm which is part of you, is to reject you fully. To reject the creation is to reject the Creator. sigh

The second part of the question, it’s a two sided question! You cannot feel love if you don’t love and accept you. We shall dive into what “love” really is later on. For now, try to read it with your inner eyes. Loving others? You learn to love based on how you have been loved. Have you been loved conditionally? Then you will believe that you are only worthy of being loved conditionally. Unfortunately then, you will only be able to love conditionally UNTIL your heart is broken so many times that you are forced to forget what you have known this whole time. 

PS: I want you to ponder on what Love means to you.
