On Faith and Peace – Ep. 21: The Love Of God Part-2

What does it mean to love God completely—so fully that nothing remains of the self?This podcast explores divine love through the lens of Fethullah Gülen’s reflections on faith, worship, and surrender.For the true believer, love begins with God—and flows toward everything for His sake. Not for Paradise, not for reward, but because He is worthy of love.🔹 To love for God’s sake is worship.🔹 To dissolve the ego in His will is freedom.🔹 To live without divine love is not living at all.Here, love is not a fleeting emotion but a sovereign enthroned in the heart. The lover of God does not seek to be seen or understood by others. Their tears fall in solitude, and their joy is hidden in quiet longing. Their heart burns for the Beloved—and they ask for nothing but “More.”From Rabia al-Adawiyya’s devotion to the silent passion of mystics, this is a path of sacrifice, patience, and sacred madness. Divine love becomes their soul—and without it, even the body becomes a prison. With it, they reach a rank that even angels admire.This podcast is a journey into the heart of Islamic spirituality, where God is not only worshipped—but loved.✨ Quotes from the Podcast:“If you are in love, grieve not over its sting; do not let others know of your agony.”“The candle of the soul has such a flame that cannot fit in the lantern of the firmament.”“They appeal to no one but God—and become a spark greater than the stars.”⏱️ Podcast Outline:Love Begins with GodLoving All Things for His SakeThe Nature of Sacred LoveSolitude, Longing, and Secret TearsWhen the Ego is Annihilated in LoveRabia al-Adawiyya and Pure WorshipA Lover’s ObedienceDivine Passion: “More, More!”Melting in the Light of His BeautyLove as the Soul Itself
